Hi, I’m a prospective student, and after looking at a lot of threads on Case, I’m not sure what to think about the school. I have a campus tour and interview scheduled soon, so I will be able to see the area, but I have questions for either current students, alumni, or people that will give an honest view of the school that you can’t get from tour guides.
I’m a female wanting to go into ME, and I’d ideally like to do activities in college centered around engineering and music. In most of the threads, Greek Life seems to be a huge theme, but I am unsure if it’s actually big on campus or it just happens to be who’s posting. I’m personally not really interested in Greek Life and partying, but I get that for a lot of people, that’s really important, but it’s just not my thing.
Something else that concerns me is about the number of people that find it necessary to post about the attractiveness of the students that go there. I get posting about the personality in general of the students that go there, but the fact that there are so many comments on the attractiveness of students makes me question the type of people that go to Case.
Also, I’ve read mixed reviews on the safety of the campus. It sounds like the campus itself is safe, but the campus is near an area of Cleveland where there is a considerable amount of crime. Although there is much to do on campus, does the fact that there are unsafe areas surrounding the campus ever feel restricting or make you feel uneasy?
Any other insights into the school would be appreciated! The academics at Case seem pretty good, but if the social aspects and safety of the campus don’t really fit my personality, I want to know before I choose to apply.
