Case Western Reserve University overall review and experience

I am a rising senior from India. I see CWRU as a potential match and would love to know more about the college in general like the academic stress level, research, opportunities, residential life, and most importantly financial aid for international students. Any current student, alumni, or someone who knows well about CWRU, please tell me about it so I can identify if it is a perfect fit for me.

Case doesn’t meet financial need even for American students so you’d need a healthy budget.
What can your parents afford?

Stress level isn’t very high although since students are high achieving and academics are very strong, it wouldn’t be the right place if you hope to coast.

The location is great, University Circle has tons of nice places for students.

This is uncommon at lots of schools. They use full pay international students to round out their budgets. You might want to reverse engineer your search and Google “Universities that give financial aid to international students” and build from there.

I agree with @MYOS1634, lots to like about both Case and the surrounding Cleveland area. One caveat, it gets very cold.
