Are you still on the fence about whether you want to apply to law school? Maybe you have already been accepted at Capital but you are unsure about what to expect as a Capital Law student? The decision of where to attend law school is one that requires a lot of thought. Luckily, Capital offers a number of programs throughout the year to help prospective students make an informed and confident choice.
I remember how excited I was when I received my acceptance letter from Capital University Law School. However, I suspected moving from a rural undergraduate campus to a law school located in downtown Columbus was going to be an adjustment. I knew that I was going to have to visit Capital first in order to quell any fears associated with relocating to a city. That is when I heard about an upcoming Capital Law Accepted Students Day. I immediately made a reservation.
The time soon arrived to attend the event. I woke up early one Saturday morning, left Oxford, and was en route to Columbus. As it turned out, the accepted students day solidified my desire to attend Capital Law School. The faculty, staff, and students involved in planning the event were so welcoming that I immediately felt comfortable in the school. I particularly remember an inspiring presentation by a recent Capital Law grad who had defended a young man accused of murder. This young attorney spoke of her hard work gathering new evidence and uncovering the truth behind a careless crime scene investigation which ultimately led to a resounding verdict of not guilty. I left Columbus that day feeling confident that Capital would provide me with an outstanding legal education.
It is important to note that I am not the only person who thinks highly of these types of events. Capital recently hosted an Open House that numerous prospective students attended. The positive evaluations of the event were overwhelming. Persons in attendance thought the activities, which included presentations on professional development, admissions, and financial aid, were both engaging and informative. Additionally, the student panel discussion received rave reviews. Based on a final evaluation survey, not a single person stated he or she was less inclined to apply after attending this event.
As you can see, attending an open house, or an accepted students day, is a great way to make your decision of whether to apply or attend Capital Law School easier.

If you cannot attend one of these Experience Capital events, you can always set up an individual visit where the Office of Admissions will tailor a visit to your individual needs.

Columbus, OH: A Foodie's Hidden Mecca
When one thinks of Columbus, OH, the first thing that probably comes to mind is college football. But, if you look closely, you will find that there is much more to this city than pigskins and buckeyes. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a "foodie" is defined as "a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads." It may come as a surprise to learn that Columbus cuisine has been showcased in the Chicago Tribune and on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. But, after discovering the diverse range of culinary options scattered throughout the city, you will understand why the Columbus food-scene is steadily gaining momentum. Below are three ways the city of Columbus can help you discover your inner foodie.
North Market
Located in the heart of the Arena District, the North Market is a smorgasbord of tasty eats. A great spot for lunch, the North Market is home to dozens of diverse vendors. Patrons have their choice of Indian, Vietnamese, Barbecue, Sushi, and many more. For those with a sweet tooth, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is a must. Using a wide-array of Ohio ingredients, Jeni's transforms normal ice cream into bold flavor experiences with options such as "Goat Cheese with Cognac Figs" and "Cumin and Honey Butterscotch Cake". Looking to improve your cooking skills? Check the schedule at the School of Cooking and take a class upstairs in the Dispatch Kitchen. For more information, and a full list of vendors, visit www.northmarket.com.
Columbus Food Adventures
Tired of only spending time with your study group in the library? Or maybe you want to impress that girl in your Torts class with an awesome first date? Columbus Food Adventures is the way to go. Owner, Bethia Woolf, will lead you on an exciting food-oriented tour of Columbus. Tours include: German Village Tour, Alt Eats Tour, Short North Food Tour, Taco Truck Food Tour, and All Dessert Tour. In addition to Bethia's tremendous amount of local cuisine knowledge, stops on the tour will involve private meetings with restaurant owners, head chefs, or bakers. And, best of all, each tour provides plenty of samples. As a past participant of the All Dessert Tour, I would definitely advise anyone interested to wear loose fitting pants the day of the event. To purchase tickets, visit www.columbusfoodadventures.com.
Food and Drink Festivals
Throughout the year, Columbus hosts numerous food and drink festivals. Most recently, I attended the Columbus Beerfest. With the purchase of a ticket, each guest received a commemorative tasting glass and twenty-five sampling tickets. The festival showcased over fifty craft breweries including Columbus natives: Columbus Brewing Company, Barley's, and Elevator. If you are disappointed that you missed out on this event, don't fret. Another beer festival, AleFest-Columbus, is Saturday, February 4, featuring over 180 great beers from various breweries around the world.
The Food Truck craze has propelled mobile dining into the mainstream. This past summer marked the first annual Food Truck and Cart Fest held at Columbus Commons - a downtown grassy oasis. Over twenty vendors parked their trucks and carts on the lawn, and Columbus residents got the chance to discover a great variety of sandwiches, tacos, crepes, and desserts. Judging by the popularity of the event last year, I expect to hear about a second festival this summer. Just remember, these mobile eateries can set up almost anywhere, so it can be difficult to track them down on the street. But, if you find one you like, most trucks and carts keep Facebook or Twitter pages up-to-date with their latest locations.
