Case Western Reserve University is a private research university located in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, with some residence halls on the south end of campus located in Cleveland Heights. It was formed in 1967 by the federation of Case Institute of Technology (founded in 1880 by philanthropist Leonard Case Jr.) and Western Reserve University (founded in 1826 as the Western Reserve College in the area that was once the Connecticut Western Reserve). The university offers programs of study in Arts and Sciences, Dentistry, Engineering, Law, Management, Medicine, Nursing, and Social Sciences.
The university in its present form consists of ten schools:
Case Western Reserve University's endowment ranks at #30 among all U.S. colleges and universities. The university comes in at #18 for largest endowment growth over the past 20 years, experiencing an increase of 393% in that time (See: List of U.S. colleges and universities by endowment). However, the university finished the 2007 fiscal year with a $20 million operating deficit due to gross negligence and misappropriation of funds by administration.
According to U.S. News & World Report's 2008 rankings, Case's undergraduate program is ranked #1 in Ohio and #41 among national universities. It is most highly regarded for its medical school (currently ranked #21 and #28 for research and primary care, respectively, in US News rankings) and Biomedical Engineering department, which ranks at #7 among undergraduate and graduate biomedical engineering programs.

Well, I'm planning on applying to Case Western Reserve University and I hear it's a great school. But the main reason people have been telling me not to go there is because "It's in Cleveland." So I was just wondering what are some GOOD and BAD points about Cleveland (specifically where Case Western is). And also, if possible tell me some good and bad things about Case Western too, like its programs, the enviroment, what I'll need to get in (application-wise), etc. And if I do get in should I go (your own opinion)?
THANKS!!!!

excellent school, but neighborhood made me a little nervous when I looked at school with my daughter a couple of years ago. Check it out in person before you decide. I know kids that go there and they say it is fine.

My sister transferred to CWRU & graduated in accounting. She said the classes were moderately tough & intellectually stimulating. She loved the campus life! The campus is beautiful & Case is in a neat area with lots of museums (University Circle) and shopping (Coventry). There were so many good Italian restraunts around, we loved visiting her. I think with A/B grades and extracurriculars on your application, it wouldn't be hard to get in. Good luck!

Case is a really good enigineering school, i'de go for that. Also ask if any of the schools offer a co-op program, this is where you take a quarter/semester off of school and go work in the field. I currently go to U of Cincinnati because of that reaso (that and in-state tuition). But Case was right up there (It was too close to home for me though). Any way you go you'll get a good job as long as you stick with it. Good Luck, and don't forget to have fun while in school, its the best time of your life!!!!
