Everyone knows the saying “It’s the people that make the place.” That idea has held true in every phase of my life, from middle school on Long Island to college in Gainesville, Florida,  and now law school in Boston. Law school – especially the first year – is stressful. It is demanding and can take a huge mental toll. While you’re navigating this new and challenging first year of law school, the people you surround yourself with become one of the most important aspects of your life that is within your control. Thankfully, BC Law already makes it easy for us to surround ourselves with good and supportive people, particularly the faculty.
