Case Western Reserve University Top Questions

Like every school Case Western Reserve University has the jocks, the nerds, the theater group, etc. One thing that I notice at CWRU is that even the different groups of students all have one common theme--they want to succeed in life and so they value their education. So the stereotype given is usually geeks or nerds. CWRU students are known for engineering, hard sciences, medicine, business, and many other disciplines. To get through the difficult course work takes lots of work and time spent at college doing---well, what everyone should be at school for--school work. That being said, CWRU students are stereotyped as students who do not know how to have fun, or go out and act like college kids. That stereotype is half true. I have experienced many Friday night study parties in the library as well as my friends. However, when Saturday rolls around my homework is finished and I can do something fun. I'd say we know how to do experience both sides here. So, yes. If smart, hard working students are considered geeks and nerds: call us that all you want.

Students are usually portrayed as ugly, studious, stay-indoors types, boring, weird, nerdy, smart. The stereotype is not completely accurate; some students are like this and others aren't.
