If you haven't already secured your seat in our incoming class, don't wait any longer.
You don't need to wait until next fall to see what it's like to be an RWU Law student. We invite you to start learning about our community by attending our virtual admitted students events, watching our quick virtual tours, and to sitting in on a 1L class:
Your new law school community includes students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and stretches from Bristol to Providence to Newport and beyond. Whether you have questions about where to live or where to find the best study spot - we've got you covered: check out Life @ RWU or reach out to one of our Student Admissions Counselors to find out what life is really like here at RWU Law!
We've created an exclusive Facebook Group for our first-year law students - the Class of 2025! Connect with future classmates, ask questions, and learn about upcoming special events in this private community. Join today!
Each spring, the Office of Admissions gathers rental listings from local landlords. We update our list of apartments in the Bristol area at least once a week from early May through the first day of Orientation. This is not an exhaustive list of your available options, but it may be a good place to start.
Questions about how you will be able to finance your legal education? We have two dedicated financial aid counselors to help you through the process! Follow their comprehensive Financial Aid Checklist and if you have any specific questions reach out to them directly:
