Visiting the Law Schools you are considering is an important step in your decision-making process. It gives you a chance to get a feel for the school, the city, and the people that will play a huge role in your legal education.
When to Visit Gonzaga Law
You can visit Gonzaga Law at any time during the year. During the Spring and Fall semesters, the Admissions office can arrange a classroom visit. During the summer, a classroom visit may be possible, but is not assured.
Classroom visits are available on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We prefer two weeks’ notice to plan your visit. Weekend visits can occasionally be accommodated, but we cannot assure that they will include meetings with financial aid or admissions officers.
Your Visit
Your visit at Gonzaga University School of Law can have a few distinct portions:
- Law School Tour:A current Gonzaga Law student will take you on a one-hour, one-on-one tour of the Law School. The tour allows for plenty of time to discuss the law school experience with the current student, as well as explore the building, meet faculty and staff, and get a sense of the student experience at Gonzaga Law.
- Meet with Admissions:A member of the Admissions staff will meet with you to discuss any questions you have about the law school admissions process, the experience at the school, and any other questions you may have. The Gonzaga Law admissions process does not include an interview, so this meeting is entirely to get your questions answered.
- Attend a Class:On the days that 1L lecture courses allow for guest visits, you have the opportunity to experience the Gonzaga Law classroom environment firsthand. You will observe the teaching style of the professor, the interaction with the current 1L students and the culture of learning facilitated at our law school.
- Visit with Financial Aid: Financial Aid is likely to play a very big part in your decision to attend law school. A visit with our financial aid office is available during your visit, just check the box on your visit request form.
Explore Spokane
While you are visiting Gonzaga Law, you will have a chance to explore Spokane and the surrounding areas. During the Spring, Summer, and Fall, you can visit Spokane’s outdoor festivals, lakes, events, and outdoor activities. During the winter, you can use your visit Spokane’s numerous area skiing, snowboarding, or cross-country skiing areas or visit arts events.
