Case has that clique mentality that you hope you would never have to deal with again after high school. There is so much talking about the students behind their backs. It is very uncomfortable to find a professor you just met who knows more information about you than they should. This such a common occurrence that no one complains anymore. Almost immediately, you discover if you are in the 'in' crowd with the professors, which determines how much assistance you'll receive from them. The worst part is that this is usually decided without your knowledge, very soon after you arrive on campus. The 2 or 3 students in every class who the professors actually spend time with usually love Case and everyone else hates it. The most successful students at Case are those who kiss a lot of butt. If you are simply a student who works hard and tries to get along with everyone, it will not be enough to be successful at Case. Everyone really does seem unhappy, both students and faculity, at Case. One visiting prospective student was told by about 7 Case students on a Greenie (campus bus system) that it would be a terrible mistake to come to Case. I am here because I got a great scholarship, but I realize that I should have transferred after my freshman year. I believe that most of the positive remarks are just people who realize that the value of their degree would be substaintially less if the truth about Case ever got out.
