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.
