Finally, a “Day in the Life” video that actually covers what it’s supposed to cover and doesn’t spend 80% of the time on what they are eating on there 8 breaks a day! Good job! Thank you.
the campus is so beautiful!! it feels like i’m actually inside of harvard. i’m in the medical field but i love seeing others thrive in different careers/fields :,)

Rezaul Hasan I saw the instution likes Harvard many time. The study are so hard .I am citizen from Bangladesh.
I really enjoyed your tour of the campus and inside some buildngs. I think you must be doing well, judging by your activities. I was especially glad you included the portrait of Archibald Cox. I remember when the law school honored him by placing his portrait in the school. He was a great teacher and a great lawyer, and I was pleased to be in his constitutional law seminar back in 1967-68

I remember my first week at HLS Archibald Cox sat down at the same long table in Langdell and opened a book. I thought "Archie and me studying the law!"
Beautiful. So nice to watch. And very different from my university experiences: I had two jobs, therefore no time for any use of calming spaces or extra programmes besides my normal study lessons. My campus was ugly, outdated, run-down, cold - all in all unpleasing. Because of my two jobs and some responsibilities at home (typical for migrant kids) I had no time at all to connect with anybody. And because of the constant high stress I developed an anxiety disorder and had to quit my studies. Now, after 15 years, I build myself a very good career, but I still grieve the missed opportunities and of course a degree. I wish I could go back in time to lose one job and move out from home. But that's why I love to see young people with great or at least better experiences than me. Cherish them. Treasure them. Live them. And have the time of your life.
Video Requests/Idea: - 5 things you LOVE & HATE about HLS - Things to consider when choosing a law school we don't talk enough about (student org's, clinical opportunities, exchange etc.) - Managing Law School Debt (working, financial aid/scholarships at HLS and elsewhere etc.)

Work life balance is definitely tricky when you’re a 1L in law school, but it gets much easier when you’re a 2L (me now) and even more so when you’re a 3L. I find that I’m far more productive and focused after I take a break, so I encourage doing things for your own happiness even when things get stressful!
Babs! I wish you would post more, and more frequently. You’re videos are well put together and are satisfying to watch 💞 I’m not currently in law, nor have I been previously, however your videos have been satisfactory to watch and leaving me wanting more!
So interesting to see how others live and experience life and how we all enjoy and gravitate towards different facets of life. I wanted to be a lawyer for the majority of my childhood and teens...but things changed and I work with deaf and blind children, such a big difference in careers but all jobs are so important in their own ways. Nice video!
I will never understand how you consistently improve upon perfection each and every time with these videos. I always find myself thinking "I would have LOVED this when I was applying."-- you are filling such a need and are absolutely killing it while doing so!!

"Most law-school classrooms are arranged in roughly the same way. Broken usually by two aisles, concentric semicircles of seats and desks issue back from the podium, resulting in a kind of amphitheater. In Pound, where we had met Mann, the newly constructed classrooms had been built with remarkable compactness. But in Austin the rooms were ancient and enormous. The seats and desks were in rows of yellowed oak, tiered steeply toward the rear. At its highest, the classroom was nearly forty feet, with long, heavy curtains on the windows and dark portraits of English judges, dressed in their wigs and robes, hanging in gilt frames high on the wall. It was an awesome setting, especially when its effect was combined with the stories we had all heard about Perini. There was a tone of tense humor in the conversations around me, most voices somewhat hushed. As I headed for my seat, I overheard a number of people say, 'I don’t want it to be me,' referring to whom Perini would call on." - Scott Turow; "One L"
This was a great look into HLS. Thank you so much! Maybe I'll see you there (fingers crossed) in 2023. You gave wonderful advice...thank you so much!
Just got into HLS; your vid is making me even more excited!
I love how at your weekly board of advisers meeting, everyone just turned around and waved, even with the masks you can tell they had on big smiles. so sweet and inviting lol thank you for sharing the video! new subbie here

I really enjoyed your video a lot and as some have already commented, your voice and way of filming and how engaging you are is a big part of why your video is so good. I look forward to seeing others. I suppose I would love to have had a chance to listen in on an excerpt from a class, etc....I wonder if the teachers would allow you to film their classes and if the TEACHER decides or agrees to just a 30 second agreeable sample, of which they could choose ,etc.....if you could show some classroom material. I suppose that gets tricky, but it would be so nice to sit in on a little excerpt from a class. Also, have you ever watched: "The Paper Chase" series which aired on PBS starring John Houseman? His character is rumored to have been inspired by a very demanding Harvard Law professor (contract law) from years ago. I was wondering if people ever talk about the series. WONDERFUL video and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Hi John, thank you for your positive feedback! It means a lot to me. I imagine our professors will not allow class recordings, so I can’t promise any future videos that include lectures. I’m not sure who the contracts professor in The Paper Chase is based off of, but I can think of couple off the top of my head who are equally as tough! It’s a great movie.
