The comforts of a small school environment has allowed unique professor-student relationships, which I have really appreciated in my short time at Delaware Law.

The professors are accessible and always willing to meet if there are any questions about the material. The students are encouraging. When I first started law school, I thought that the professors were going to be distant and the students would be so competitive that I would not foster friendships. However, I am happy to say that was never the case at Delaware Law. While the students are competitive, I have found that this environment created a strong bond as everyone goes through a similar struggle throughout law school. This environment and sense of community are the traits that make me proud to be a student at Delaware Law.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<hr />\r\n<p><strong><img style=\"float: right;\" src=\"irl://1483//\" alt=\"Claudia Kriza\" width=\"30%\" />Claudia Kriza</strong><br /><a href=\"mailto:cekriza@widener.edu\">cekriza@widener.edu</a><br />Third Year, Full-Time Division</p>\r\n<p><strong>Hometown</strong></p>\r\n<p>West Chester, PA</p>\r\n<p><strong>Undergraduate Education</strong></p>\r\n<p>Pennsylvania State University</p>\r\n<p>Psychology with a focus in Neuroscience</p>\r\n<p>Claudia will be participating in Youth Court during her time at Delaware Law.
