It is troubling, though not surprising, that someone who presumes to look down on GW law would so thoroughly butcher the English language as to write "I have never heard something good."

Also, "hearsay" is an English word that means "information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor." PP used the exacty appropriate word in the precisely correct way.

"Hearsay [evidence]" is legal jargon and no one here gives a sh!t what it means. We are not in court. Sit down.


You accuse her of butchering the English language...but then you go on to use profanity. Like you should be telling others how to speak?!

Well, that’s a negative.


Are people honestly surprised with entrance stats that low? What did they think would happen?

And more importantly, why aren't all the other colleges paying attention now that they're lowering entrance requirements for diversity reasons? Don't they realize that their reputations will tank next?

I would not send an 18 year old there, right out of high school, unless there was no other choice.


How was the actual quality of the faculty members you had and your classes?


Really ran the gamut. Some were truly outstanding - they could be teaching at any top university, but for whatever reason, can be found at UDC. Others - in equal number - were horrible - as bad as you could imagine. Some had years of complaints logged against them by students over many semesters, but were never fired or even reassigned.

I think it's very dependent on the program you're involved with.

The mother of one of DDs friend's is a CS graduate of UDC and she is the director of IT at a "Big Law" law firm in DC. She strikes me as sharp and sophisticated. There are some successful graduates and professionals that come from UDC.

It reflects poorly on you.


No one is being disrespectful. Not all opinions are going to be glowing, of any college.

Thanks very much.
