Valparaiso Law School
Do you have any
special instructions or advice for applicants who wish to visit the Valpo
campus?
Our visits encourage
students to dig deeply, well beyond the admissions office. Our "Be a law
student for a day" program allows visitors to pair up with a current law student
and shadow that law student for one entire day. In doing so, our visitors get a
first hand real-life experience of what it is like to be a Valpo Law student.
This program runs on most Fridays during the academic year. Of course, we also
have a series of larger group visit days, too. You can check out our visit
programming at
www.valpo.edu/law/admissions/visitus.
To arrange for your visit, just call Darlene in our Admissions Office at
1-888-ValpoLaw or e-mail her at Darlene.Leatz@valpo.edu.
Can you briefly
describe the housing situation for your students?
Valparaiso is a small,
exurban town. All of our students live in housing facilities in the area. By
doing so, they become not just a member of the campus community, but a member of
the greater Valparaiso community as well. A complete housing guide is prepared
annually and made available to every deposit-paying student.
Over 60% of your
students come from outside the state of Indiana. What type of support does the
Career Planning Center provide these students should they decide to seek
employment back in their home states after graduating from Valpo?
Valpo law graduates
seek and obtain employment in a wide variety of locales. Our location affords
access to both large city and small town opportunities, and everything in
between. Our Career Planning Office has four professionals who work in close
concert with each student to build a successful career path. For a school our
size, we have extraordinary resources invested in the Career Planning Center.
Students have no difficulty gaining access to the Office (which is located on
the first floor, right at the entry to the main student hallway), its career
counselors, and all other resources maintained by the Office.
