WHY TEXAS?
Location: Texas is the place to study law if you're interested in engaging the biggest challenges we're facing as a nation. Texas is the second largest state in the United States by both land area and population. Given our size and central position in the country, our complex political landscape, our urban and rural character, our place as a border state, and our fast growth, there is no problem that can't be solved by the country, if we can solve it in Texas.
Quality of Life: Choosing a law school means that you’re choosing your home for the next few years, and you won’t find a better place to learn and live than the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Designated as one of America’s “Most Livable Communities,” Fort Worth prides itself on being a city of cowboys, culture, commerce, and community. The Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex offers welcoming neighborhoods, a low cost of living (14% below the national average), and a strong economy.
Attractions: In Fort Worth and across the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, you’ll have access to all the museums, restaurants, entertainment, outdoor activities, and professional sports teams you would expect in the fourth largest metropolitan area in the nation. From the world-famous Stockyards to the world-class Bass Performance Hall, and from the hip music scene that make it “Funky Town” to museums that hosted two of the top ten art exhibits in the United States in 2019 (according to the Wall Street Journal), there’s nothing you can’t find in Fort Worth.
