I went there. I hated there.
Great school.
Nice facilities, easy parking and beautiful grounds.
I attended American University Washington College of Law, before us news and World Report published it's ranking system. At that time-- back in the '80s and 90s-- it was considered to be "a top 50" institution.. In my opinion, It has done little ever since other then simply sink to the bottom of the Cesspool of mediocrity, particularly when compared to other DC schools.
Best education! I was given so much help and so many chances.
Highly recommended if you do not want to pay for law school. I used this course a few years back and it helped me achieve a LSAT score that got me a full academic scholarship.
a truly amazing place to learn the law. the only downside are the lefty psychos who poison the experience (just look at the unfairly positioned opinions on a wonderful Professor, Lederer. Ignore these crazy activists. Go the school here, then make some dough.
Not good
As a student here at Fortis College, being enrolled has been an excellent experience. As an M.A., student, committed to graduate in just a few short months, the education has given me the confidence of being prepared to work in the medical field.
I have attended fortis twice once for the medical assistant program and another for the Lpn program and both time I had a great experience. The instructors are very hands on and willing to help with any matter as well as other staff members. If your looking for a school that’s hands on and care about their students this would be a amazing opportunity. Communication is top tier for this school.
Id like to express how great ful I am as our children have succeeded in there academics at Hastings. It’s taught, not just them but us, a rofedsion and responsible way of life. And I’d like to add the city looks much better environment. No child should every experience poverty or have a poor way of life every adult should take care of there children and make them responsible successful people and this world will be a better place. Keep up the good work ! I thank you
We care about our country our city’s and every living thing. It’s been an honor to have our freedom our human rights and our lives live right
One god One voice one world

Please give us more thank you very much!
Campus is an arboretum.
Not open
I am so pleased to have been a Fortis College student. From the President, Directors, Instructors to the staff have displayed great care about each of the students, in a very professional and informative manner. Each teacher has taken the time to understand the individual needs of the student, matches that with how the student learns best and truly cares about the students. This makes the learning environment flexible and adaptive. The school is large, clean, and following Covid protocol and this is important for me, they observe discipline, they know how to find an approach to each student. Overall excellent school and I would highly recommend Fortis College to all the students searching for a good school!
Very VERY gracious and willing to help!!
Active in the involvement of protecting the interests of the people.
It’s atrocious that this school continues to allow Elizabeth Lederer to have a position here after ruining the lives of 5 young men. Get rid of her immediately before she ruins more young lives by teaching lies
Rather it was sooner or later that the world found out about this MONSTER!!! She needs to be FIRED AND CHARGED!! IMMEDIATELY! Or does the school stand behind atrocity? ELIZABETH LEDERER needs to be FIRED and to think she is teaching LAW!!!!
Always beautiful here. This campus is always well maintained, and much needed shade to hide from the heat.
Excellent professors. Lots of comfortable places to study.
Decent law school, but very expensive. Bar passage rates are also very subpar.
I had an excellent experience at strategy prep. I attended the 100-hour class and drastically increased my baseline score from the first test to end up scoring in the 99th percentile. Ben is a great teacher, has a very strong grasp on the fundamentals of LSAT strategy, and makes a huge effort to ensure everyone in the class understands the material. Ben is also a very funny and caring person, which makes the class substantially more enjoyable than it otherwise would be with a teacher not as committed to making LSAT studying less stressful and even occasionally enjoyable. That said, make no mistake that a high level of success on the LSAT will require extensive studying outside of the class, even if you take the 100-hour class. If you are someone who may have difficulty studying outside the classroom or motivating yourself, I would recommend Strategy Prep's 1 on 1 tutoring or perhaps rethinking your LSAT expectations. Regardless, I highly recommend Strategy Prep to anyone who truly wants to crush the LSAT. Ben went out of his way to ensure that I would have everything I needed to succeed on the LSAT, and I am 100% confident he will do the same for you if you are willing to put in the requisite effort on your end.
I took the 40-hour class in preparation for the October 2015 LSAT. Taking this course was the best decision I could have made. Ben is an excellent (and super patient) teacher. Super responsive to questions both in class, at extra-help sessions, and via e-mail. There are tons of extra resources for the course online in the form of YouTube videos, links to additional explanations, and podcasts. And the class was fun, or at least way more fun that you think an LSAT review course is going to be. Ben is funny and engaging and made prepping for this test way less painful than I anticipated it being. The reviews on their web-site might seem too good to be true, but I definitely believe them after taking the class. I don't have my official score back, but my practice scores increased 12 points by the end of the 40-hour course. Worth every penny and cannot say enough positive things.
Executive Chairman Arthur Terranova and President Joe DeFelice believe in supporting their members through new ways. Recently launching a new website, mobile website and video. They have the best CLE Courses and also programs that truly support their members, young lawyers and students.
Field Of Law hasnt met all needs also in changing hopefuls, though the air qualities are poor as well as outcast news . The travel prep is also in dire ned of revenue, the change is attepting to alter privvy course. Leads are stil adding new needs?
