Dickinson College - Pennsylvania – Academics Survey
Survey Excerpt: Class sizes can vary, but they are overall small. I have been in a 6
person language class, 50 person bio lecture class with 25 people in

Survey Excerpt: The academic rigor of law school tends to be what most people

take classes at Bryn Mawr College, Haverford's sister school, Swarthmore
College, and the University of Pennsylvania (though it's a bit more
difficult to enroll in a class at UPenn). The student body is general

Southwestern University School of Law – Academics Survey
Survey Excerpt: First year students at Southwestern are required to take 5 classes each
semester. The classes are typical to that of most law schools and
include contracts, civil procedure, legal writing, criminal law, torts
and property. Southwestern is unusual because first year students
