Meet Our Students

The 493-member student body at the UST School of Law represents a wide range of experiences and beliefs. While most of our students are just a few years removed from undergraduate life, we are attracting a growing number of nontraditional students. Students from across the political spectrum are drawn by the school's unique mission and lively debate is common. The atmosphere remains collegial and affirming, however, as students work together to make their law school ranked between #1 and #4 in the country for "quality of life" in the Princeton Review for the last five years.
