The Top 10 Law Schools For Best ‘Social Life’ (2015)

Where can you learn the law and party like a rock star at the same time?

Current law students are in the middle of finals and some prospective law students are still trying to figure out where to put down their deposits, so what better time to discuss what is arguably one of the most important aspects of a legal education?

Of course, we’re talking about whether or not a law student will be able to have a social life at his or her chosen law school for the next three years.

GraduatePrograms.com recently ranked the top 25 student-rated law schools, as well as the best law schools for career support, financial aid, and quality of network, but we’re focusing on the social life rankings. Why? At this point, it’s a given that you’re going to have some difficulty finding a job and paying down your loans. It’s the connections you make during law school that will help you get through the tough times you’ll face later on.

Where can you go to law school and party your face off like you’re still in college?

GraduateProgram’s results were based on surveys completed by students (including those currently enrolled and recent graduates) from more than 150 accredited law schools across the United States. The rankings cover a period from September 1, 2012, to March 31, 2015. For the purposes of this category, “social life” is defined as how easy it is for students to meet people, make friends, or date.

You may be trapped in a special law school hell filled with some of the most self-important gunners alive, but it’s comforting to know you may find a school where you’ll be able to drink away your troubles with friends — sometimes with benefits — who are less socially awkward than the rest of your peers.

Come on, of course a law school in a state where weed has been legalized is the best place to have a social life. You can take a look at the full list of the Top 25 here.

From top to bottom, this list actually makes sense — except for Drexel and Northwestern. How’d they get here? For Drexel, could it be the school’s fun and frisky faculty?

As for the rest, almost all of the schools’ affiliated undergraduate programs have been ranked among the best party schools in the nation by Princeton Review or Playboy. Wash U. in St. Louis, whose building is named after a brewing company, was knocked down to No. 20 on the list. Ouch. Have a cold one and walk it off.

All gunners on earth would need to unite and volunteer useless information about their personal experiences with the law to suck the awesome out of the air at schools like these.
