Case Western Reserve University, though small and in general unknown outside those who have reasons to look at college rankings, 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 neither the most time efficient nor the most 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 school that focuses on Aviation with two campuses: one in Daytona Beach, Florida and one in Prescott, Arizona.
Both of these schools are really boring, but the Prescott campus is probably worse.
There are no girls at this school - its over 90% male. It's also full of a billion fucking preps, nerds and losers who try to act like they're from California. It's also pretty boring unless you have a car and you'll probably contemplate transferring to another school more than once. It is also expensive as shit.
If you're thinking of of going to this school, you better be DAMN FUCKING SURE you want to because if you change your mind, you'll spend nearly 30 grand a year for nothing. So don't bitch out.
Oh and there's not much partying. Most of them suck. But if you're a douche bag and join a lame ass fraternity, you'll probably have an easier time getting crunk. Kiss your ass and money goodbye if you're caught though. This school doesn't fuck aroud, nigga.
Despite the negatives its' a pretty good school. The weather is good and its a quiet atmosphere that allows you to study. If you're sure you can handle it and want to have a great job in aviation, this is the school you want.
Fuck! Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is fucking expensive as shit. Most of the girls are ugly too.

The best school in Nashville, America, and probably the world. A lot of the people are extremely intellegent but are complete slackers, especially in the class of 08. Includes though some not so smart people who make commnents like "Wait, so you're saying that snowflakes reproduce?" Has many "Dady's little girl"'s who complain when they get an 89 on a test. Overall not very good at sports, but that doesn't really matter because the debate team could massacre Brentwood Academys' Football Team. Lots of Jews (also reffered to as JewSN). If the gamecube at school broke, half the school would break down crying. Not to mention the massive beat off obsession with World of Warcraft, especially in the class of 08. Use the words sip,probs, gaf, gafleton pie, squags, awk and chill frog because the student body think they are pretty cool.

A commuter college in Marietta GA settled between Cobb Parkway, South Marietta Parkway, and South Cobb Drive.
It is an engineering and technical college that was created in 1948 as an alternative for students who didn't want to get academically raped at Georgia Tech, through a hands and applied approach.
SPSU students are more likely to get hired upon graduation, however stealing GA Tech's mascot, and bastardizing it. GA Tech = yellow jackets while SPSU = green hornets.
Like GA Tech, the women at SPSU are few and far between. This is why the acronym for this college also stands for Sausage Party State University.
Also due to this lack of women, SPSU also churns out gays who have given up on women and hook up with their room mates.
Dude, let's go out this weekend. Nah, I think I'm going to stay around Sausage Party State University and work on my bromance with my roomie.
Only at Southern Polytechnic State University.

Anyone who has ever read (and presumably understood) Sartre's "No Exit" will have no problem understanding how this "powerful school that finds itself on fertile ground for students with imagination, innovation, and motivation" functions in the real world. Notice, first, that everyone who offers a good definition of Case here offers only idyllic platitudes.
Case is the ultimate institution of absurdity.
1.Academics -- Case's academics are actually pretty good. When you compare it with other institutions, however, the workload is mind-numbing. The problem isn't necessarily that you have to work hard. However, this conversation illustrates the problem:
A: the first year is the worst by far.
B: how come?
A: because after the first year you are mentally acclimated to the fact that your professors will give you more work than you can physically do. By the second year you realize that you can't do everything, so you feel more comfortable in your inability.
The academics are not ivy-league. But the workload is more than comparable. The ratio should be even, but it's lopsided.
2.Social life -- parties at Case have a customary policy of "girls only" because if boys can get in, the ratio will always be lopsided. The amount of girls that party is already low, but the amount of guys who want to meet girls and get laid without remembering the morning after is astronomically high.
Michael Chrichton, in Airframe, wrote that little boys reach a crossroads around the age of 13. Most boys stop playing with their toys, start socializing with girls, and date. The engineers didn't get the memo, and keep playing with their toys. Case is an engineering school, and the boys love their toys. Many Friday and Saturday nights involve (at least in this dorm) six guys piling into one room to play XBOX or WoW while a couple girls lay on the floor, tacitly watching in complete boredom as they listen to "WHAT I TOTALLY JUMPED YOU WERE SO DEAD OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO CHEAP."
3.Size -- it takes almost 30 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other. There are only 4,000 undergrads (compared with 20-30,000 at University of ______) and the number of buildings makes absolutely no sense.
4.Administration -- the administration at Case is concerned with finding the best non-solution to problems. As you can read in other definitions, they spend a bunch of money (raising that tuition!) on something completely erroneous that has nothing to do with the problem.
If you have a good sense of humor, you can come to Case, observe that literally nothing works in the way it should, that there is an absurd "solution" to every problem, that you have "one of those days" every single day...and laugh about it. You accept it soon enough, and it's funny to laugh at the purely miserable state of everything, and how people try to pretend that it's still a world-class institution. A surface-level look at things shows that it's a cool school, but closer examination will only reveal the dysfunctionality of every facet of the campus.
But it's a namebrand education, and it has a reputation which precedes it by leagues. The bottom line is this: if you want an education that only involves you training for a specific job, come to Case. If you want an education that has a less myopic focus, Case probably isn't the place for you.
Isn't it ironic that our Case Western Reserve University English class is reading "No Exit" this week?

Best school in the country that is not in New York. President Obama sent his kids to the school, and that is just one of the abnormally high status attendees who went to the school. The school is filled with rich snobs who look down at anyone who doesn't have a 4.0 GPA or is mentioned in some article in some famous newspaper about some overachievement. The kids who go there are abnormally smart but they know how to party. They study hard, but they party harder. Abnormally rich parents send their kids to UCLS when they are in Kindergarten so that they are brainwashed so early and don't know anything besides A+'s and expensive cars and penthouses. Unless your the kid of one of the teachers. Then your lucky to get in on half off the tuition. Whenever you tell anyone you go to UCLS, kids are amazed because they just hear University of Chicago.
Random public school kid, "Hey which school do you go to?"
Rich private school kid, "I go to the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools."
Random public school kid, "Whoa you go to the University of Chicago!?!? but your really young!?!"
Rich private school kid, "No dumbass. I'm 15, and even though i skipped to grades, I'm not going to go to college before i can drive."
Random public school kid, "So which district is it part of."
Rich private school kid, "No dumbass, we're not part of a district cuz we're a private school."
Random public school kid, "Whoa you go to a private school!?!? So are you really rich??"
Rich private school kid, "I live in a 2.5 million dollar condo in downtown Chicago. and my parents drive 2 new $100,000 mercedes cars, an Aston Martin, and a vintage ferrari. So what do you think.
