I absolutely adore my college experience so far. I am so grateful to be attending SSU and feel so fortunate to be a part of such a supportive and welcoming community. The community just hits different, you can tell everybody rooting for you.

From the professors who are constantly pushing me to grow and learn, to the whole Parliament Family I always feel engaged and connected. The campus is beautiful, the resources are endless, and the people...the people are the best part! 

- bre diana maxwell, ssu law school

Big love to the class of 2015! After graduation, SSU Law School was a no-brainer. Not because it's ranked as one of the top 20 law schools in the nation, but because of the people. The professors, faculty and my fellow students made the choice easy!
