What was your overall UIS experience like?
I have an overall 10/10 experience at UIS. If UIS had an LLM/JD program I think that I'll still be enrolled there today. I loved the curriculum and the unique approach to studying and learning. I kick myself for not being involved in any clubs or activities. However, there's still time because I would love a second Masters!
