Devin

Anyone who doesn't enjoy large amounts of work, or who is not looking to pursue careers in the sciences, business, medicine, or law may want to examine other options for education. Case is a very science-oriented school. The business aspect of the school is good as well. For law, there are no real requirements so that offers a great deal of freedom as an undergraduate to do what you want. But if you want to major in something artistic or what to become an english major, then you may want to take a look at other schools.

Kayla

People going to school to party like they do in movies and at state schools should not attend Case. It is a highly academic school, yet there is an active social atmosphere. However, it is not your typical "party school." Most students know how to have a good time, but they balance it out with a strong academic workload. Academic success is a top priority for most students, so if there's a big concert the weekend before an exam or finals, many students will prepare for that and leave you to find someone else to go with.

Margaret

A student of Case Western ought to have a passion for learning. Not just from textbooks, but also the people and places that surround the area. There are hundreds of opportunities as a student, however they don't fall into your lap--but it only takes a simple conversation or email to get amazing experiences. Students with diverse interests would love it here. It?s easy to double major in seemingly unrelated fields (the most popular double major on campus is Engineering and music) and the incredibly qualified professors are very welcoming and genuinely care about their students.

Jillian

Anyone who is looking for a college at which to party and not to study should not attend Case Western.

Chioma

If you are a very outwardly person, do not attend this school. If you are not intensely self motivated, do not attend this school. The academics are harsh and are no joke so you gotta be willing to work yourself in order to succeed
