Case Western Reserve University Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 1,761 reviews
Amazing, I love it! The people are ambitious and passionate. Plus, the financial aid brought most students here, so there is a healthy mixture of different economic classes too.
Throughout the year, the campus vibrant and full of life. Plus, we are all academically challenged and they have begun to value both the science and arts equally. So, it’s common to meet students who may be a strong engineering student with a passion for singing. Regardless, CWRU will provide with the resources to be successful. While it is primarily white and Asian (based on demographics), there is an ever growing black and brown population. And with their new effort to support the surrounding community, the campus is becoming much safer and more enjoyable. I love this school and will miss it when I graduate, but I’m happy that things keep improving as things progress over time.

CWRU is a great environment for premed students! I would estimate ~65% of undergraduates here are on the premed track, which makes for a very research heavy environment, where faculty is very cooperative and willing to work with students. Unfortunately the campus is isolated in a suburban-esque area of Cleveland, there's not much to do since stepping off campus is relatively dangerous as well. The undergraduate educational environment, however is quite tailored to the premed experience. Competition between premeds is pretty rough, and the school has a pretty bad case of the "Case Complex", meaning if you're not premed, you might be on the receiving end of a little snark on behalf of some Case students. Classes are quite manageable if you plan your schedule accordingly, don't try to overload yourself with classes and you'll be fine! Dining options on the North Residential Campus is gnarly compared to the South Side, so dine at Fribley whenever you get a chance.
Case gets a bad wrap for being anti-social, but that is not the full story. There are events and parties, you just have to be active and social to get in them. Everyone complains there is no social life, but they never actively took part in searching for it, no one is going to track you down to join a club or invite you to a party. Once you take the initiate to find people and groups, you find its not as lonely of a campus as people like to complain it is. The academics are good, stressful at times but the school offers many resources for help. The weather is Cleveland weather, so expect to be cold, wet and wind chilled. I have enjoyed my time at Case, and look forward to the next two years I have attending here!
