Case is not only supportive to its students, but the students themselves really care for each other. The challenging academics makes this very important, and having that support is great. You will learn an immense amount, especially if you get involved in clubs. I am apart of Case Rocket Team and I enjoy my time and friends in the club immensely. The projects we work on are insane, and combined with classes I am plenty busy!
I feel as though people in these reviews mostly love the university for its opportunities, but some bash on it for not being the most socially active. Honestly your experience comes down to what you do! There are a lot of clubs, organizations, research opportunities, and of course greek life to have a good social life. Also the location is very nice and there is plenty to do.

Case Western deeply cares for the success of its students. The professors and administration alike do all that they can to support their students and to keep them safe. The professors care for their students, and due to the smaller nature of the school are easily accessible. They are there to ensure students succeed.
There are numerous opportunities, and unlike other institutions, there are systems in place to help you access and take advantage of these opportunities. The institution works hard to ensure that students are aware of the opportunities they have available. The location is incredible with three major healthcare institutions nearby, local museums that are free to access, and large companies in Cleveland. As a research-focused institution, there are numerous projects in numerous fields of study. This means that students can study what they choose. That being said, the food options for anyone with dietary restrictions are deeply limiting and the housing could be improved.

I made a handful of great friends while I was at CWRU. The University encouraged me to explore my extracurricular interests; I was supported as a walk-on varsity athlete or by the Greek Life Office as a member of Greek Life. Classes were hit or miss. Some incredible elective classes in Political Science, Art History, and Theater and some duds in the engineering curriculum. The strength of the humanities programs is underrated. Cleveland is also an underrated city and has many amenities like sports, nightlife, restaurants, and museums that are actually affordable for a college student. Career services are great; finding a job was relatively easy after graduation for most of my friends. CWRU also has many resources, like Thinkbox, that are underutilized by the average student. Greek Life can sometimes create a social hierarchy that is detrimental. Overall, the school is great if you put in the effort to meet people, explore Cleveland, and find the right classes.
