[quote=Anonymous]This is based on the perspective of one young woman I know--so take it with a grain of salt.  Though the gender balance is not too bad--54% male and 46% female,  she felt the culture as whole felt somewhat male-dominated--especially in the STEM departments. Not in a negative, aggressive way or anything--more in a nerdy way where she felt they interacted oddly with her--odd treatment in teams/study groups etc.--and that she just didn't fit with their interests (lots of video games).

Overall in her view, the significant "nerdy" population that is fairly introverted (both males and females) and this plus the gender balance made it hard for her to find her people as a sort of average, somewhat extroverted young woman.  She said people were nice enough, the classes were challenging but she did well, she liked Cleveland except for the cold.  She ended up transferring to Virginia Tech though (which was in-state for her) and is much happier there.  She's not very negative about Case, just felt it ended up not being the best fit for her.[/quote]
