“Going into law school your first year, classmates talk about how well they were prepared for school– if they were able to handle the work, or if it was a big adjustment. I had friends and classmates who felt like the transition was a big change from what they had been expected to do in college. It wasn’t so much for me. That speaks highly of Tabor and how they prepare students. Even now, alums of Tabor have been helpful in my career by offering their advice or assistance when I need it.
