Case Western Reserve University Top Questions

There seems to be a lack of school spirit. No one seems to really support our atheletic teams either.

At CWRU, a lot of people are initially unapproachable. They're either resistant to speak because they're foreign or because they're shy. This leaves a lot of people feeling either rejected or lonely if they don't put up the effort to get to know others. Many overcome this by finding people they identify with (e.g. other Asians).

The worst thing about this school is the distance from home. To go back home I have to take a 6 hour bus ride to Chicago, then my parents drive the last two hours home. It's a long trip, and flying is way too expensive.

I think the worst thing about my school is the school spirit and pride because this school is not usually a first choice. This is most prevalent in the upperclassmen because Cae Western Reserve University has recently gone up in ranking and name recognition.

The worst thing about Case tends to be the distance between buildings. This is obviously bad because one persistently has to walk from one building to another to reach their next class.

The worst thing is the expense. The financial aid isn't that accomodating, and with over $50,000 a year in expenses, it gets expensive.

Professors are more interested in research than teaching. Poor academic advising. Teachers are often inaccesible and do not promptly grade work.

Its location in Cleveland isn't all that terrific. I'm sure it's improved since I went there in the 1970's, but at that point, it was surrounded on three sides by ghetto, which was frightening. We were warned not to go out except in groups of 4 or more, and preferably with males. In the time I spent wandering around the campus, I was rarely worried about my safety, but there were a few incidents during that time.
