great teacher, does a very good job of explaining. mandatory homework every class, but you can't learn this stuff without it.

Challenging but rewarding.

She's such an amazing professor who gives numerous chances to succeed in the class. Sure the labs can be a pain, but they're 25% of your grade. Also h...

Love it.

If you like Nerdy schools, you'll feel at home.

The best. Im an EECS major and we have some of the best professors ever. Excellent teachers, motivating, stimulate critical thinking, etc. Great place

Safety is a huge issue at Case. I'm a third year and you have to be careful in East Cleveland. The school sends out extra patrols when something bad happens, like a student getting shot in a carjacking or a woman getting kidnapped on our campus (has happened.) The school is also very bad at sending out safety alerts when something major happens.

I think it's harder to compare schools than professors considering I've only attended one university. Life at Case is what you make it; academically, socially, and professionally. There are a lot of great resources and student centers that, with a little effort, will help you greatly in life.

Case Western has a lot of positives, but in the same right, it has a lot of negatives. I've enjoyed a lot of the connections I've made here - between professors and fellow students - but the social scene surely lacks. Moreover, while the teaching buildings are generally nice, a majority of the dorms are unappealing (unless you're an upperclassmen).

Great place bad food

You often have to be the one to reach out for support i.e. advisors and if you meet the right person they're usually really good at what they do. It wasn't hard for me to find a tight friend group to hang out with. Also parties aren't hard to find; you just have to know the right people. Food isn't terrible, but could be better for the priciness.

I love it here at Case. The campus is a mix of urban and rural. It has many clubs for everything, and the food at Uptown is great if you don't want the dining hall. Being just outside Cleveland, there are a few safety concerns, but the police are great at keeping everyone in the loop. The hospitals offer great opportunities as well!

CWRU is a great campus! I find that Cleveland is fun to explore once you know where to look. The culture is very nerdy, so there are lots of fun nerdy clubs (RPG, Board Games, Quiddich...).

Case is an excellent school for anyone who wants to go into research, and is strong generally. Engineering programs are tough, but practical. Humanities are surprisingly good. BUYER BEWARE: The CS department is way under staff (as of 2018) and growing, so CS majors should go elsewhere until Case can hire more profs. Class selection has suffered.
