Case Western Reserve University - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" Great school, really happy with everything I was able to achieve here. Really supportive advisors and mentors, and fellow students are overwhelmingly friendly and nice to be around. Cleveland is an underappreciated city, and I enjoyed getting to explore it a bit. "

" It's what you make of it, take advantage of the opportunities and you'll have a great time. Social life leaves much to be desired, it's very quiet. Academic resources are readily available. Campus is great but the surrounding area isn't. "

" I love Case. More than I could ever put into words. It's my home, and I love the passionate people that occupy it. I want people to know that this is a work-hard, play-hard school. We spend hours and hours studying and grinding for our academics, but we also have lives outside of that! This is a fantastic institution filled with faculty that actually cares about student outcomes and well-being. In fact, I have a meeting with an old professor of mine tomorrow, just to catch up and chat! My research lab has also been delightful, and I have learned a great deal. I'm heavily involved with student organizations, and I truly adore the student body here. It's a bunch of passionate nerds that care about making the world a better place. "

" I attended CWRU as both an undergrad and a Master's student. I got an excellent education, particularly in doing academic research that prepared me extremely well for pursing a PhD. CWRU employs excellent professors and you will learn a lot. CWRU is obviously not for everyone. Students are expected to take a heavy load of classes and do a lot of work. If you want to be challenged and have an interest in research/academia/engineering, CWRU will be right for you. If you are looking to have fun, go to parties and not work very hard at school, then you should pick a different school. Additional notes: it's a small campus, but there is a lot of culture to be had. They have improved the food options available within the last few years (including a grocery store in walking distance!). It's relatively safe as long as you pay attention, but walking around late at night in Cleveland is something you should be cautious about. As of a few years ago they had a shortage of classrooms and study spaces, so be aware of that. "

" Great university with supportive professors and staff. Campus food selection lacks variety Required to live on campus for two years. Generous financial support Class sizes are small, so you get the chance to connect with your professors very well. "
