Appalachian School of Law encourages and welcomes prospective students to visit campus prior to applying. ASL is a close, friendly, and caring community, and it should be experienced first hand. No one law school is right for every student, and it’s important to know this school for what it offers to all of its students.
We recommend visiting ASL when classes are in session. That way, you will experience the campus in full swing and be able to meet more of the faculty and student body. Tour times are flexible during the school year.
