[A]sk yourself how much you enjoyed your time in high school, because you’re essentially going back to the ninth grade. In terms of surface-level similarities, you will be blessed with lockers and an equivalent to prom. You will have cliques. You will have a lunch period. You will share most of your classes with the same people and will have a seating chart. Gossip will spread like wildfire, and few things will be private. … You will stare at the clock fairly regularly, waiting for recess.

— Noah Ickowitz, a student at UC Berkeley Law, in a Daily Californian op-ed about the pains and pleasures of law school that prospective students must understand before they apply.
