The place that grade A students drop their acceptances to West Point in order to follow their guinea pig eating girl friend whose had terrible names like Nutella, Oobaldina, Fudwaga, and usually have a generic Mexican last name

Case Western Reserve University is a Napoleon college. Though small and in general unknown outside those who have reasons to look at college rankings, Case also 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 not the most time efficient or 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.

Small liberal arts catholic school located in the middle of no where MN. Co located next to St Ben's - an all girls school. These schools both cater to spoiled rich catholic kids who think they are better than Tommies, but not nearly as smart as Gusties.
60% of all the guys that go to SJU are GAY. Some just don't know it yet. But 4 year stay behind the Pine Curtail will get them out of the closet pretty fast.
St John's students are called Johnnies.

The place where they care more about paying Ann Williamson over $250,000 a year, cutting retirement funding for their employees, making units work short staffed on a daily basis, and caring more about profit than safety of staff and patients. Then after asking staff to give back earned vacation time and cutting the retirement funding, they find a billing error totaling more than 15 MILLION dollars. But lets not be harsh because they do have the Iowa Cares program where anyone in the state that doesn't want to work like the rest of us, can come for free healthcare where they can have room service, treat the staff like shit, and get all the legal drugs they want on behalf of the taxpayers. Even better, they can complain about the color of the walls, the rooms being too small, having to share a room, parking is too expensive, they couldn't find a cheap hotel, and the hospital should be closer to where they live. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea!
University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics Staffing Department hard at work
Staffing: you need 2 RNs and 1NA so you are not short.
Unit: yes and if we get 2 more admissions, we will require 1 more RN or we will be short staffed.
Staffing: we probably won't have the NA but we will let you know.
Unit: okay let us know, we have x-number patients that require 2-3 people to turn, potty, etc.
1hr later:
Staffing: we can give you the RN's but couldn't get an NA.
unit: okay, what choice do we have
5 minutes later:
(pager going off)
5 admissions in 20min.
Unit calling staffing;
We just got 5 admissions, we need another nurse because now we are running short.
Staffing to Unit:
Sorry but we don't have anyone.
Surprsingly staffing and bedboard share the same office, but staffing had NO IDEA there were all these pending admissions from ETC????

The well known rule that fat people may make fat jokes or comments at other fat people without offending them.
It is not required to say "Universal Fat Guy Rule" after a big guy makes a comment to another, nor is it to just say "UFGR".

Skinny Guy: Nice moobs, Joe!
Joe (Who's a hefty fellow) : *punch to the face*
Harold (Also a big guy): Nice moobs, Joe!
Joe: *starts to look offended, but remembers the Universal Fat Guy Rule* "Thanks!"

A university in Cleveland, Ohio that focuses on engineering and sciences. It does offer a top notch education, but it is not worth it once you consider the following:
-90% of the girls are either really ugly, really plain looking, or both. The other decent looking 10% are pretty much reserved for the football players. Sorry. If you want a love life at case, youre going to have to find someone outside of case.
-Most people at case are so dull. They're too caught up in studying, playing guitar hero, frat business, online games, anime, and some random organizations that they have no interest in but simply want to include in their resume. Some of them are immature, arrogant and insecure assholes (see example). People here simply aren't chill, and they act like they're still in high school.
-Don't expect to party too hard at case. Frats rarely have parties with alcohol (or hot girls). Case students either don't drink or they are alarmingly inexperienced drinkers who get belligerently wasted off one beer and brag about the stupid shit they do at the time.
-The workload at case is ridiculous. It's extremely easy to fall behind in any of the classes, and you get fucked. Exams tend to pile up all in the same week. Basically, you study your ass off just to get a C or D on most of the exams. This usually equates to a passing grade due to generous curves, but you don't end up learning anything this way. The worst part is imagining showing someone your resume. As much as you would like your employer or the admissions office at a transfer college to appreciate the Ivy-league workload you survived through, chances are they simply haven't heard of the place.
-Like I said, Case Western Reserve University is conveniently located in CLEVELAND, OHIO. As in, the land of eternal winters, construction, potholes, poverty, crime, and absolutely nothing to do. I don't understand why people always respond "-but there's the rock and roll hall of fame!" yes! so? It might be interesting the first time, but it's basically a museum.
Don't end up like me kids. Don't go to Case.

In my freshman year at Case Western Reserve University, my bike and car got stolen, the only parties I went to were by CIA, and everybody in my building decided to talk the biggest shit about me for absolutely no reason, all while talking shit about each other. The only thing keeping me sane so far was an amazing girl I found at nearby Hiram college.
