In terms of support and resources, what do you recommend to prospective students considering Northeastern Law?
When I was a prospective student visiting Northeastern Law, the student ambassadors were so helpful in giving me the basic information I needed. The affinity groups (like the Black Law Students Association and the First Generation Law Association) and other law organizations (like the American Constitution Society) helped me find community and get through the transition of becoming a law student.

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with at Northeastern?
I am currently involved with the First Generation Law Association, the Black Law Students Association, and the American Constitution Society.

What has been your favorite part about doing co-op while at NUSL? Can you describe the experience?  
I haven't been on co-op yet. However, I'm excited to get hands-on experience working in my area of particular legal interest.
