Case western is on our list because it checks all of the academic/city/campus criteria, and seems academically like a great fit for my kid. We visited it and my kid seems to like the campus and Cleveland. But he wants a school with fun social life, lots to do. I know there have been Case threads on here before, but I was wondering if folks with kids there in the last few years could comment on... 1. any chance the reputation as very serious / no school spirit is changing at all (sometimes I've heard of "dated" reputations, so figured I'd check), and 2. how much variability is there... like is there a good social life for those who want that?

| If he joins a frat he'll be fine. |

| My son is a first year and seems to be having fun. He’s not in a fraternity but made an effort to seek out clubs when he first got there. It’s not a big rah rah school and I don’t see that changing soon, but I also don’t think that’s unusual at D3 schools. |

| My son is a 2nd year and he loves Case. He is very serious about school. He has made good friends and goes out on weekends only. |

| Also - if your kid is looking for big ten football and tailgating- Case is not that atmosphere. No one goes to the football games. |

You need to tell us what your kid considers a fun social life. Is lots of alcohol filled parties important to them? Or do they prefer other social activities? |

| Lovvvvvve Case Western. My daughter is really enjoying it, and doing well academically. For those interested in healthcare, you have the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital, the VA - lots of volunteer opportunities to build a resume. |

| DC EA-deferred! So sad. According to Naviance, Case is a safety. This is the second EA-deferral in 2 days ... |

Mine deferred as well. Sorry about your two deferrals. So far, I'm not a fan of EA. |

From Case? No. Got waitlisted and then they had some crazy steps to stay on the WL. Dropped out right away. |

Waitlisted after deferred?! that is tough! Please share your kid's stats if possible and where is he/she now? We will need to redo our college list with this unexpected deferral. |
