<p>I'm an international trasfer student who've admitted to both
CWRU and U WISC at Madison.
I'm majoring mechanical engineering, and I hope I could go to
a college which has a both good reputation and good academic quality.
I know CWRU has a better faculty/student ratio than WISC does, but
I'm not quite sure if the index is relevant to estimating academic quality especially for undergrad student like me- I heard profs of both schools usually focuses on their researches.
About settings, I was brought up in Seoul and suited in metropolitan surrounding so I think U WISC is better for me in this respect.
Ofcourse I can choose CWRU if I can be assured that academic and reputation of CWRU outvalue those of U WISC.</p>
<p>I suggest you look up the population of Madison and Cleveland.</p>
<p>The Korean community is HUGE at Case. They are also very friendly and inviting... this means a lot from me, because I'm not Korean.</p>
<p>Wisc has higher rankings, etc. But don't let that make your decision.</p>
