<p>I'm not sure if anyone has already written on this subject...but I'm personally a very liberal person. I love wierd people and I've heard that Case is pretty much conservative. For example, is a GLBT presence at Case? Just how 'out-there' is it? If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Thanks!</p>
<p>I'd say Case is at least 50/50 politically if not a little left-leaning. There's a large GBLT group called Spectrum and they put on a number of campus events. One that many students participate regardless of orientation in is Drag Ball. There's certainly a number of 'weird' people or just people with very eclectic tastes. It's certainly a campus where it's okay to be GBLT from my perspective although I'm not...</p>
<p>If you dont find enough of a liberal presence, CIA and CIM are next door. Not to mention that you're going to be in Cleveland, which is very liberal. Or liberal enough for me (and I am an uber liberal).</p>
<p>Thanks guys, if anyone has more input, feel free to post something. I used the GBLT group as an example to just see how conservative/liberal it was. It's probably better that the campus is 50/50 politically - must provide for interesting debates :)</p>
<p>when i visited campus i heard that the college democrat group is really big and that there isn't really a republican group. i could be wrong, but that is what i heard. and cleveland is supposed to be more lieberal.</p>
<p>As a general rule, Ohio is conservative, but it's urban cities are liberal. :p</p>
<p>I talked with the Case Democrats during their activity fair. They seemed to be a very assertive presence on campus and their GLBT group Spectrum was also big. I cannot wait for Case!!</p>
<p>Being from Cleveland (and very familiar w/ Case), I'd say CWRU is very liberal-- w/ the engineers in the Case half being somewhat less so, but hey, aren't all engineers more conservative anyway. Cleveland is a liberal metro area, generally, and usually has to hold up the "blue" end in a very "red" state in presidential elections. On top of that, the East Side, where Case is, is even more liberal. University Circle, which is a bastion of culture and art (w/ the world class Cleve Orchestra and renowned Museum of Art, plus, as mentioned, CIM and CIA). As a college-town area, the Circle has rough parallels with Chicagos Hyde Park, where the University of Chicago lies.</p>
<p>The Circle sits right at the base of the "Heights" suburban areas, mainly Cleveland and Shaker Heights -- uber liberal, esp Cleveland Hts (note: one deceased local conservative radio host used to call it: the People's Republic of Cleveland Heights). Cleveland Hts also has uber, uber liberal Coventry (aka: Greenwich Village, Midwest) and, years ago, declared itself a "Nuclear Free Zone."</p>
<p>Ah, I think that should tell you all you need to know.</p>
