Academics
Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Case Western Reserve University is a mid-sized school that boasts “fantastic research opportunities,” “an awesome environment,” and “amazing financial aid.” CWRU is “known as an outstanding engineering school” and “companies in the engineering field are aware of CWRU’s excellence and rigor and are very eager to hire CWRU grads.” As one happy student puts it, “our academics and academic reputation is phenomenal.” So are the school’s services: “We even get free tutoring (up to five hours a week). [The] academic load can be challenging, but if you take advantage of all the available resources around, it’s definitely manageable!” The “well-qualified and passionate” professors are “very involved in their fields” and “usually accessible and reasonable about their workload.” Moreover, “they all have connections within the research community or the private work sector.” A handful of liberal-arts students suggest that their departments may not get as much attention as others; CWRU “is very good at producing students prepared to excel in their career, especially within engineering, medicine, and business.” The university “offers great scholarships and has fantastic research opportunities.” A finance major reports she decided to attend because “it was affordable, prestigious, in an awesome environment, and the people here were all so genuine when I came to visit.” All in all, students really feel that CWRU is a university on the rise. As a cognitive science and psychology student puts it, “If universities were stocks, I’d put all my money into Case Western.”
