Pre-Health Advising at Case. Western.
** Case has a dedicated Pre-med Advisor, Wesley Schaub.**
The pre-health advisor also maintains a Pre-Health Professions Canvas page for current and past CWRU undergraduate students interested in the health science professions. The Canvas page provides additional resources for students and is used to communicate information about group advising sessions, application preparation and workshops, clinical and research opportunities, and guest speakers on campus. Students may request access to the Pre-Health Professions Canvas page by sending an email to Wesley Schaub.

** What’s unique about CWRU?**
I am not sure any college has just one thing that makes it unique:
CWRU was created from the merger of a ** LAC + STEM **school in 1969. So you get people majoring in the liberal arts, nursing, business, as well as engineering. Unlike some engineering schools, you get more of a male female balance.
Case also has a ** Single Door admissions** policy…once you are admitted you can major in whatever you want…no applying to the engineering or business school or whatever…so you can also easily change majors (obviously you need to meet the requirements)
Case is in the University Circle, Home to world-renowned museums, prestigious universities, nationally recognized hospitals, Cleveland Orchestra, eclectic restaurants, beautiful parks, and cozy spaces.

Case is minutes from downtown Cleveland and you get a free RTA pass

Case is affiliated with the ** Cleveland Institute of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Art.**
All art programs are considerably enhanced by close cooperation with and access to the facilities of cultural institutions located in University Circle, in particular The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Cleveland Institute of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland.
The Department of Music at CWRU offers undergraduate students a wide range of opportunities for musical study and participation, many of which take advantage of our Joint Music Program with the Cleveland Institute of Music. https://music.case.edu/prospective-undergraduate-students/general-information/

Case has the ** think[box] Maker Space **
ThinkBox at Case is 50,000 square feet of space for engineers, business majors and patent attorneys
to come together to innovate. I think this is unique, even MIT does not offer this cross section of
resources in one place, the maker space, the business partners and the attorneys all for you to invent, prototype
patent and launch a start up while an undergrad or grad student or MBA student at Case Western.
Watch the students talk about it on this video:

If you happen to be ** LGBT: **
Case Western Reserve is among the Top 25 LGBT-Friendly Colleges and Universities, according to Campus Pride, a national organization that aims to make universities safer and more inclusive for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals. The recognition follows Case Western Reserve’s first five-star ranking on the Campus Pride Index, a detailed survey of universities’ policies, services and institutional support for LGBT individuals.
** Safety:**
University Circle is well lit and busy, and safer than other Cleveland neighborhoods.
I walked in early evening, before 10 pm, from a B&B on Cornell and Murray Hill, to Little Italy and then
back up to 115th St, where the Case upperclass suites are located and felt pretty good
in all those areas. The areas to avoid are East 55th Street, which is well west of campus,
and parts of East Cleveland, which is a tad closer to campus.
but students don’t have reasons to go to either of those locations. . The Healthline Bus, which
goes up and down Euclid Avenue, to the downtown/Lake Front area is fine, and the train from
the airport is fine too. I road both of those with my son, to be sure.
Case students, like all college students on urban campuses,
get reports from campus police, on any muggings, and there are some each year, as I remember, but
students can use Greenie Buses at night to get around, and the police are responsive, both
the city police and the campus police patrol the campus and surrounding areas near Cleveland
Clinic, and University Hospital, right near campus.
