Exciting? Cleveland? I guess if the comparison is Ithaca, but I'd much rather be in such a beautiful place fall and spring.

NP. Have you been there? Cleveland is a very underrated city. There are tons of parks, access to the Lake (beaches/boating/sailing), lots of arts and culture, professional sports teams, and world-class health care. Case is in a good location too.

Yes, I've been. Very nice art museum, lake surprisingly meh, pretty flat and unattractive city with little going on when we visited. Merit plus pre-med opportunities are certainly pluses though.

Case Western won't give you the traditional college experience, but it is decent for what it is. Close proximity to hospitals make it ideal for premed majors getting experience.

What? This is not a true statement at all. There a fraternities, sororities, dorms, club sports, D3 sports, other clubs, dorms. What makes it non-traditional?

C'mon now. No legit major sports programs (D3) which results in a not so great school spirit etc. But, that's not why you go there. I get it. The best comparison would be a school like Northeastern. Not for everybody.

No! Lol

Back in the day, northeastern was an evening school for working adults, that school spirit lasts until this day. CWRU was an academic powerhouse—still is. But if you look for a rah rah school, CWRU might not be the best fit.

You are both very wrong.
CWR is like a back up option to schools like Tufts, BU, BC, or Northeastern.

Northeastern has D1 hockey team and the school spirit around that is very good.
There are plenty of diverse campus activities for everyone including Greek life if you choose that.
Everything for everyone not to mention all the thing the City can offer, that's the good thing about Northeastern.

Tufts and NEU are not the same. The former is a much better school.

My kid goes to neither but applied to both and accepted to both.

Maybe 20-30 years ago.
It's 2025 already.

Quick AI says Northeastern University has 19 NCAA Division I athletic teams including maens ice hockey, basketball, baseball.

Case Western = 0.
Big difference in that department.
Some people still living in the 80s.

Nice campus, close enough but not in the city, good communication from advisors already, connected on social media with a number of other incoming freshman. Good merit helped too. When I was there on a visit I saw plenty of diversity and realized I underestimated Cleveland. Plus, Little Italy is close to campus from some great food!

I would say it is in the city.

Definitely in the city. DD visited as we were hoping it was more of a Georgetown type set up (as in, yes in the city technically but in a pretty part of it and secluded as a campus). It was not like that. Definitely felt like an urban campus.

It seemed good for someone going pre med and left me at a loss why people would choose it if they weren’t pre med.

It's a premed school.

DC had great academic and non-academic undergrad experience. Was premed and now in a T25 med school. Has fond memories of Case and Cleveland.
DC did make the most of what Case and Cleveland offered.

How's the Greek scene at CWRU?
