Choose wisely

by unk1911 , May 25 '03
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...

depends on your major

by trezgirl , May 05 '00
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...

How can school be this boring when we are in a city?

by hfranz , Feb 28 '00
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...

How many zero's are in that award package?!

by hfranz , Feb 28 '00
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...

CWRU is a great school

by sinnergy , Aug 14 '00
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...

Look somewhere else

by ladygoat , Feb 22 '00
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...

Stay away!!!

by ladygoat , Feb 25 '00
Pros: reputation
Cons: cold faculty, poor curriculum
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...

Serious commitment for a serious student.

by theshelley , Feb 06 '00
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...

Terrible

by Iceman17 , Feb 28 '00
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...

Worst mistake of my life.

by scwrud , Jan 19 '03
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.

Computer Department Should be Canned

by Iiyama , Dec 15 '00
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...

Spartan Spirit

by MasterIsaac , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Very good school
Cons: Bad Football Team
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...

Kusch World Order

by Sifaka , Jul 11 '00
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...

It's what you make of it.

by liverwort , Jul 07 '00
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.

What they say:...
