First things first, Case is a university and is concentrated on the educational aspect more than anything else. Sometimes this is detrimental to other facets of college life. The good news is that Case gives you a great education and resources to work with. The bad news is that is does so while sacrificing aesthetics.
I do want to dispell the myth about Case students. Generally regarded as computer nerds and hermits who never leave their rooms and who have never heard of a party with LAN before it. The general populace at Case is much like that of any other university, especially the top tier schools. The students know how to have fun and are very social, but just like any school, there are the occasional social hermits. Also, since the school is largely a tech, engineering and medical school, most students are more "nerdy" than state schools. This is a bad thing however, and is often a source of laughter when students begin discussing the newest polymers of biomechanical inventions.
That being said, the students do not as a whole support the athletic teams. Football and soccer games are not a cause for celebration and are generally not well attended. This is not because of the teams' records (Soccer was #3 in nation, Football finished undefeated regular season and made 2nd round of playoffs, and many other successes by sports teams) but rather by the tradition of failing sports teams. Only recently have Case teams began to excel, and most students are used to the lackluster performances. Once more students begin to attend, word will spread and games will once again become a social event.
The worst thing about Case is the campus. If I said it was ugly, I would be doing ugly a great disservice. Construction litters the campus and downtown Cleveland. Most building are bland and out of place, and those that are unique and inspiring are hidden from view. The campus, being urban, lacks open fields and green space which is goes a long way to creating a campus. The few open patches of green space that exist are littered with abstract art that students can't stand.
The dorms are res. life is above average for most universities. The freshmen rooms are small in comparison to other schools, but the sophomore and upper-class housing is superb. In addition the policies of res. life are fairly liberal and loose, allowing for an enjoyable experience.
If I were to rank Case as a learning institution, I would give it an A.
If I were to rank it on aesthetics, I would give it a D.
Unfortunately, both these translate into a university and that hurts Case. Don't get me wrong, Case is a wonderful school and I absolutely love my time there, but just at any other school there are things that need to be changed. | Collaboration/Competitive: A, Campus Aesthetics: D |  | | |

I just arrived at Case. So far, I'm having a great time here. The faculty and staff are very nice and surprisingly helpful. The other students are really friendly as well. I was amazed to see FREE courses offered informally by Case throughout the summer. I've attended a few of them and they are quite good. The campus is nice, but the weather is not so good. Overall I really think I'm going to like it here. | Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B |  | | |

| Bright | | Case is a good school but only if you are dedicated to becoming an engineer. If you are looking to pursue any other type of major, this probably isn't the school for you. Case sells itself on it's engineering program and a great deal of attention is given to engineering majors. I came here because Case offers huge scholarships so this school was my cheapest option but I am transferring from here because this school is not for me. Make sure you are very science/math savy and don't mind the horrible weather in Cleveland before you make the choice to come here. | | Jun 24 2008 | 2nd Year Female --

I Love This School! The scholastics are a bit overwhelming, but the University offers a great mix of extra-curricular and social activities. Girls are definitely hot, and I've made some great friends over the past two years. Frankly, I haven't had a weekend where I've been bored yet.
There are a number of stuck-up brats that go to Case. Generally speaking, nothing appears to satisfy them. They are definitely the LOUD minority so don’t pay them any attention. Case is a GREAT school | Useful Schoolwork: A+, Education Quality: B+ |  | | |
