Proctors: One was a nice professor. He was strict but not intense. He had a somewhat calming presence and an accent. The second proctor (she mainly floated around the room, didn't read aloud) made many noises throughout the test, ate very loudly while we were working.
Facilities: Huge building with lots of parking. Inside is very clean and there are restrooms everywhere. Also, there are vending machines and couches, which was nice during the break. There's a Dunkin Donuts at the entrance, as well. The building is a little bit like a maze, but all staff is friendly and helpful.
What kind of room: Standard high school classroom but with large desks.
How many in the room: 4 people. I heard there were others with around 10, though. Each classroom had about 35 desks, so we were pretty spread out
Desks: Really big but attached to the chairs, which was annoying.
Left-handed accommodation: N/A
Noise levels: My room was directly across from the public safety desk, so we heard walkie talkies BLEEPing the whole time.
Parking: There is a large parking garage directly next to the building.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 5 hours including waiting in line but not sure
Irregularities or mishaps: None
Other comments: I chose to drive home from college (5ish hours) to take it here again! Had an even better experience my second time.
Would you take the test here again? Yes, and I did.

I am a 20 years old and am graduating a full year early from college. I interned this summer in the New York State Supreme Court and am studying to take my second LSAT. I have spent my whole life working to get into law school- I can't remember a time when I didn't want to become a lawyer. I participate in Student Senate, Mock trial, and am President of the Pre-Law club. I also hold 3 part time jobs while at school.
I worry about my GPA- having taken 4 years of classes in 3 years forced me to take many difficult classes at once, which made me not do as well as I had hoped.
One idea for my personal statement is my traumatic brain injury and how it lead me to become certified as a 200-hour yoga instructor. It changed me from a very type-A personality to a more mindful person. Another idea is the two sides of my family history. My maternal grandfather had three ivy league degrees and was the chairman of a huge mutual fund in NYC. My mother grew up in a rich white suburb and has an associates degree. My paternal grandfather was a dutch sailor who left home at 13 to sail to America. My father grew up in a poor city, where he joined the police department directly from HS. I think that growing up with such differing perspectives shaped me in an interesting way.
