Pros: Challenging/Fun. Diverse. ATM network/fast. Decent film society. Close to attractions. Cons: Apathy-galore. Dangerous neighborhood. Some professors do not speak English. Weather bleak. Zero social life.
I went to Case because I heard a lot of good things about it from older friends and relatives. In fact many of the friends I grew up with went to Case because we lived in Cleveland and Case was viable both financially and practically however if...
Pros: good locale, great engineering programs Cons: apathetic student body, poor liberal arts
Like all other schools, Case Western has its strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, you have a school with a phenomenal reputation in the engineering sciences. At least half of my friends were some type of engineering major and they found the...
Pros: Quiet campus, good for hard-core studiers and it is in a city Cons: The city is Cleveland, and Cleveland, despite popular belief, does not rock.
I thought living in Cleveland would be fun, a new experience. Boy was I mistaken. The experience in central PA at my undergraduate school, (which was 3 hours from any major city!), was more exciting than CWRU! Don't get me wrong, the school has great...
Pros: Hefty awards, great financial aid officers Cons: Heard of one horror story
My family was never one that was eligible for financial aid (even though only I was paying for school!), so I didn't expect much. When I got my award letter from Case Western Reserve University, I had to reread it three times. They gave me $10,000...
Pros: great education, extracurricular activities, students Cons: parking is bad, dorms a little cramped, campus spread out a bit
I was an undergraduate here at CWRU from August of 1995 to August of 2000. I entered the field of Computer Science after realizing at the end of my Sophomore year that Electrical Engineering just wasn't for me. My experiences are CWRU already make me...
Pros: strong curriculum, good financial aid Cons: lacks diversity, pricey, not much to do
Although this school has a really good regional reputation and has a good academic structure, I wouldn't recommend CWRU, especially for undergrads. I really believe that the most learning in college goes on outside the classroom, so while the...
This department, which focuses exclusively on medical anthropology, has a great reputation and some of the most highly regarded anthropologists in the United States. Nevertheless, stay away!! I cannot emphasize this enough. It has been a huge...
Pros: downtown location, high academic standards Cons: downtown location, difficulty for commuters
I have 5 1/2 years experience with this school as an undergrad, and two degrees from it. I commuted and I lived on campus, I went part-time and I overloaded. I feel that I have a unique perspective on this university because I have kind of "done...
Background: I have attended CWRU from 1996 - 2000 and have recently graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. I lived off-campus and commuted daily.
My Experiences: The school has a very good general reputation, especially locally....
Pros: Free Ibuprofen Cons: No knowledge concerning medicinal practices
My personal experience with the training room and health services has been one of frustration and anger. I have seen my teammates misdiagnosed and I have seen treatments provided incorrectly. I have had my share of injuries and I know the difference...
Pros: Fellow students are amazing people
Fast network (When it works)
Ethnically diverse Cons: Professors and administration demoralize students
Expensive
Poor computer/electrical engineering dept.
Apathetic student body
I'm curious how many of the people writing these reviews have experienced any academic difficulty or dealt with the administration at all. Then again, I suppose that degrading the school from which you graduated is counterproductive.
Pros: Professors are very nice people if you get to talk to them Cons: They can't teach and they aren't up to date.
I am currently a senior here at Case and I've taken all the required classes that I had to so far. I can honestly say that I have not gotten my money's worth from my computer classes. Each and every professor I have had (without exception) has been...
I went to a private prep school in Cleveland that sent graduates to a lot of really good schools, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, etc. It was really tempting to venture off to a school that has all the prestige of an ivy league school. Because Case...
Pros: Nice t-shirts, distance from campus provides ample opportunity for exercise Cons: Elevator and fire alarms
After living in Kusch House for four years, all I can say is that if you hate school spirit as much as I do, Kusch is the place to be. Famous for its pathetic showing (or non-showing) in IM sports and other campus activies, the Hall Council valiantly...
Pros: Great education, Cleveland Cons: Have to work on having a social life
I was an undergraduate/graduate student at CWRU for 5 years and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I’d like to comment on a few of the most common complaints and praises that I’ve heard students make while I was there.
