CWRU may be the most underrated university. It's got Ivy League quality academics, a beautiful campus, great athletic teams, and a plethora of clubs and organizations. There's something for everyone.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Check out everything. It's not just a STEM school. It has a joint program with CIM and CIA, stellar English faculty, and a fabulous business school. Come visit, and meet with professors; they're great to talk to. If you like sports, contact the coach. In my experience, they are always willing to discuss logistics with you. Really get a feel for it.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
That's 5 stars for quality. It can sometimes be a lot, but it's never way too much. I have been balancing double majoring, clubs, and varsity sports just fine. You will be well-prepared for more education or for entering the professional world.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are decent quality, and I lucked out with the people I was with. I'm staying with them again next year! They're of average cost, I think. The village is for upperclassmen only, but it's definitely something to look forward to- absolutely gorgeous.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Not too bad compared to other schools, but it's pretty expensive.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
You are right in Cleveland, and get to do a lot for free as a student!
Parties are always happening.
Go to the Botanical Gardens, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the art museum, MOCA, canoe on the Cuyahoga, walk through Rockefeller park! Go shopping at Beachwood, get ice cream at Mitchell's, watch a movie at Cedar Lee (or with your dorm).
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Perfect. Expensive, but great academics and activities, looks great on a resume or grad school application. High employment rates and acceptance rates.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
1/3 or students are involved. It's a ton of fun, but you won't be pressured if you don't want to join.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Even though it's in Cleveland, the campus is super safe.
