CWRU is an amazing school. The Art History department is world class and the proximity to the art museum makes for unbeatable study.

Case is a great school academics and social wise. The location is in University Circle which is quite nice and there's a lot of museums and good restaurants within walking distance. Professors are great too.

Honestly an amazing school! It has everything I wanted, great classes, caring professors, and awesome clubs. CWRU is a great place for getting research, internships and jobs after graduation. People will say that there aren't good parties or sports but if you want to go to those events you can def find them.

Plenty of opportunities to do shadowing, co-op, internships, research! The location Cleveland itself isn't great but University Circle is good and safe! Food could be better but there's plenty of off-campus locations that accept CaseCash!

Nice campus just have to be careful selecting professors because the courses are challenging

CLE is nice, cute shops nearby, accessible through walking or transit. Little Italy is nice bc its so close. People care about school. There are 10k clubs you can join. Social scene isn't huge, but its good because it isn't distracting. I have minimal complaints. Good place to go, even business school has some good opps. I wish it was cheaper.

PLEASE go somewhere else for an education. The academics here are top notch, but are outweighed by the overwhelming amount of negatives. The administration is utterly useless, everyone here is miserable and wants to transfer out, and there is at least one armed robbery on campus every week. Social scene is non-existent, and many students are toxic.
