Case Western Reserve University is a Napoleon college. Though small and in general unknown outside those who have reasons to look at college rankings, Case also stands as a powerful school that finds itself on fertile ground for students with imagination, innovation, and motivation.
As stated by others, Cleveland and Case have room for improvement, as do all colleges. However, I dare say that Case prepares its students appropriately by forcing them into a sink-or-swim environment that replicates post-campus life. Case mimics reality, a world where opportunity isn't handed on a platter and where social outreach, intelligent growth, and personal motivation are an individual's responsibilities, not a governmental obligation. What looks like oppression to some students is to others an opportunity to be challenged and to mature. It is what college exists for.
If people wish to party and lead wild lifestyles, going to college is not the most time efficient or cost effective path to take. The 50k we spend per year will go far for traveling and living an eventful and exciting life. Perhaps some students who feel frustrated with Case might benefit from spending a year's tuition cost/time traveling and enjoying the world. Perhaps after such adventures students could then sit down at the table, pick back up the Case hand they folded a year ago, and realize that for education, Case truly excels at what it sets out to do.
I admit that TV Guide, pre-planned entertainment is not Case's forte - though I do know most Case students still somehow form lasting social networks and many wonderful friends. Case borders along a blatantly obvious poverty zone - but amidst the same streets shine not only countless cultural experiences but also many areas of need for those students who feel positive actions speak louder than empty complaints. Case requires its students to make sacrifices to reach the goals they seek to attain - but those who give what it takes succeed in their careers and accomplish their ambitions.
Napoleon was no great sight in foreign lands to the native peoples who expected a tall and daunting military commander - but those who were aware of who Napoleon was recognized him as a strong, pragmatic commander, the leader of France. In the same manner Case will be a disappointment to students who apply without thinking about what enrollment here will put before them. For students who are aware of what Case has to offer, there is no better educational opportunity in the country.

A university in Cleveland, Ohio that focuses on engineering and sciences. It does offer a top notch education, but it is not worth it once you consider the following:
-90% of the girls are either really ugly, really plain looking, or both. The other decent looking 10% are pretty much reserved for the football players. Sorry. If you want a love life at case, youre going to have to find someone outside of case.
-Most people at case are so dull. They're too caught up in studying, playing guitar hero, frat business, online games, anime, and some random organizations that they have no interest in but simply want to include in their resume. Some of them are immature, arrogant and insecure assholes (see example). People here simply aren't chill, and they act like they're still in high school.
-Don't expect to party too hard at case. Frats rarely have parties with alcohol (or hot girls). Case students either don't drink or they are alarmingly inexperienced drinkers who get belligerently wasted off one beer and brag about the stupid shit they do at the time.
-The workload at case is ridiculous. It's extremely easy to fall behind in any of the classes, and you get fucked. Exams tend to pile up all in the same week. Basically, you study your ass off just to get a C or D on most of the exams. This usually equates to a passing grade due to generous curves, but you don't end up learning anything this way. The worst part is imagining showing someone your resume. As much as you would like your employer or the admissions office at a transfer college to appreciate the Ivy-league workload you survived through, chances are they simply haven't heard of the place.
-Like I said, Case Western Reserve University is conveniently located in CLEVELAND, OHIO. As in, the land of eternal winters, construction, potholes, poverty, crime, and absolutely nothing to do. I don't understand why people always respond "-but there's the rock and roll hall of fame!" yes! so? It might be interesting the first time, but it's basically a museum.
Don't end up like me kids. Don't go to Case.
In my freshman year at Case Western Reserve University, my bike and car got stolen, the only parties I went to were by CIA, and everybody in my building decided to talk the biggest shit about me for absolutely no reason, all while talking shit about each other. The only thing keeping me sane so far was an amazing girl I found at nearby Hiram college.

The post by "jaded case student" was dead on balls accurate. Everything he/she said was true and they are things that my friends and i have either seen or done. Not only is the work load impossible, unless you have a fake major, but the students here are socially inept. The boys would rather spend weekends with their guy friends then with girls. the "parties" that you do go to usually consist of a few people drinking in their rooms, and acting ridiculous, not in a good way. The craziest thing anyone has done at case is drink a bottle of massage oil, thinking it was alcohol, this happened once. The few girls you will meet at case, mostly are ok, but there are always a few who are as socially awkard as the boys, which is saying a lot. The boys that are relatively normal, all have girlfriends from other schools. Do not let the 60-40 ratio fool you. It is a dirty lie to lure unsuspecting girls to this disgusting, repulsive excuse of a university, BECAUSE most of those 60 seem to have little interest in girls and a lot more interest in playing video games all day and night. Some of the professors are nbot just apathetic, but seem to have a genuine disdain for girls. As one professor told a pre-med girl, after she found a mistake in his adding up of her points on an exam, "why do you care, you will be pregnant and at home in a few years anyway." And when you do get exicted about a THEME party, because it is a rare occasion, 20 minutes before you are about to leave, it gets cancelled, because they are already wasted and passed out at 4 p.m. However, there is one corection to "jaded case student" that we would like to make, yes the guys watch massive amounts of porn, the problem is, is that most of the porm is not "regular," its animated, yes ANIMAE porn. Ok, so in summation, if you like to hibernate in your dorm room, drink but almost always only by yourself, are petrified of the opposite sex, think that massive amounts of homework implies a good time, and think that "fiberoptic internet connection" is the sweetest thing ever, than you were made for Case. If not, however, this should serve as a warning, do not be fooled by fake commericals or FAKE DEFINITIONS(hint hint "premed girl").
as quoted by multiple students on an daily basis "Case is the reason for all my drinking!!!!!!!!!"

Case Women aRe Ugly
Unlike 3 “unsuspecting” girls put it, CWRU really stands for the above acronym. About half of the guys are normal, I will admit that that weird half are really messed up, but 90% of the ladies are not ladies at all but massive bull faced trolls who rarely venture out into the sun, or moon for that matter, and who nobody wants to touch with a 10 foot pole let alone any part of their body. That is the real reason why the normal half of the guys do not socialize with the ladies. The other 10% can be split up into two groups. 9% are girls who think they are super hot when in reality they are nothing special and have a huge ego( my guess is that 3 “unsuspecting” girls fit into this category). The other 1% are actual good looking ladies who know how to have a good time.
So prospective male students if your ready to live a life of celibacy (unless you have a girlfriend at another school), where you have tons of work, drink alone, and constantly feel like killing yourself CWRU is the place for you. Now prospective female students this campus could be a gold mine for you so long as you’re good looking, smart, and don't have a huge ego. Remember ladies only you can change this definition; the power is in your hands.
CWRU has a TON of girls, just not a lot of them.

I was kicked out of a party at Case Western Reserve University because I'm not a brown person.

An excellent institution of higher learning in the midwest, currently in the process of building its national image. Under the leadership of President Edward Hundert, the leading research university has begun a push to become the world's most powerful learning environment. With prestigious graduate schools (including medicine, law, dentistry, and engineering, which consistently rank among the top in the nation) and a faculty that are top researchers in their field, Case provides an amazing stepping stone undergraduate experience for science and engineering students, while at the same time providing an array of other departments in the College of Arts & Sciences as well.
While the conventional stereotype of Case students is the computer nerd, it is very possible to have an involved and enjoyable social life on campus--but beware the massive amounts of schoolwork. The course load is extensive and very challenging. Located in an urban Cleveland setting, students are close to many popular spots like the Flats, Warehouse District, Legacy Village, Tower City, Jacobs Field, etc., when they do find the time to go out. Also situated next to charming Little Italy and funky Coventry Village, two wonderful choices for delicious food and cool shops, not to mention the fine University Circle institutions (including Severance Hall, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens, etc.) that are mostly free of charge with Case ID.
Case Western Reserve University is on a mission to become the most powerful learning environment in the world.
