What do you think is the BEST thing about Cumberland?

The best thing about Cumberland is its culture. Students genuinely care about each other and celebrate each other’s successes. While law school is inherently competitive, Cumberland fosters a uniquely collaborative and encouraging environment.

Why did you choose Cumberland?

I chose Cumberland because it offers a supportive environment where I knew I could thrive. I wanted a school with a strong student community and opportunities to get involved through intramural, academic, and social programs.

What do you most enjoy about studying law in Birmingham? What do you like to do in Birmingham?

Birmingham has so much to offer, from great local restaurants to beautiful trails, churches, and local entertainment. I love that there’s always something new to try or experience. Plus, Birmingham has many great study spots, especially its coffee shops.

If you could give any advice to your pre-law school self, what would you say?

There is so much value in visiting a campus and talking to current students. While online resources give you a lot of good information, being on campus helps you see if it is a place where you could thrive. Take the time to talk with current students to get a better idea of what everyday life there looks like.

What do you plan to do after graduation?

I am still undecided, but I’m excited to use my education to pursue meaningful work.
