My dad went downstairs and saw a bar, a restaurant-thingy, and a kitchen. I didn't even know about this faculty club!

I also went to the Law Library to get sources for my essay. Dayum! That place is incredible!!!! The whole law school is amazing... so pretty, and all glass and bright wood and gleaming surfaces... and the study carrells at the library have high-backed, padded swivel chairs in each one, and there are loads of them. I mean wtf. It really makes me want to go to law school. The girl at the desk was sort of a bitch, but... that place is without question the best building on campus.
