Going to a smaller school definitely has its advantages and having all of your professors know your name and be able to give you individualized feedback on assignments is extremely advantageous. Also, everyone at Widener is so friendly and genuinely wants to see every student succeed. The sense of community and support from the Widener Law community is a huge reason why I love this school. "}
