The City of Cleveland wins more honors: Just another reason CWRU is great.

Location, Location, Location: Certainly it is part of every college decision. You really can’t go wrong with Cleveland.

Cleveland just won a spot on the National Geographic “Best of the World” list. Cleveland was one of only three US cities named on the list. http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2017/11/cleveland_named_to_national_ge.html

My daughter who is a sophomore at CWRU raves about the place, but also loves the city and the wonderful relationships the university has with the city.

In the last year or so, it has also made the best places to visit lists published by the New York Times and Fodors, among others.

My son also really enjoyed his four years in Cleveland. Its a medium sized city, so much smaller than Chicago or NYC
and less intimidating than these larger US cities. Things to do in Cleveland: , a student can go apple picking, about ten miles from campus then go for a discount concert ticket at the Cleveland Orchestra on the same weekend day! Students can go to a sports bar in Cleveland and catch a good sports event, even if they don’t actually go to the Cavs game, (winning Cleveland basketball team) the spirit is permeating campus, for Cleveland professional sports teams. There is actual city life for students, so dance clubs, and that whole scene for those that want city life. OR one can stay safely ensconced in University Circle, and go to local parties, events, lectures, etc.

Its pretty easy to keep a car on campus in the upper class years, most freshman do not bring cars, and one
can get around find without a car.

The public transportation, both bus and above ground trains are safe, to and from the airport, with a stop near CWRU.
The Healthline Bus is part of the student fees, so students can ride a public bus past to the Lake Front to enjoy some city life too.

Off campus housing is less expensive than other cities. CWRU often live in the Coventry neighborhood, to the east
of campus, and can walk or bus to campus, or to a summer job in Cleveland.

There are jobs in Cleveland, in many fields, such as computer science, economics, math, engineering , nursing, etc.

There are girls to date on campus, for boys and visa versa, the gender balance is close to 50-50.

Greek life at CWRU is mellow, some service oriented, some frats are party oriented. Often students not in the Greek system date someone in the Greek system, so the parties end up being pretty open.

CWRU is located in University Circle and students often stay in this section of Cleveland all four years:

Wade Oval has ice skating, and walking distance from CWRU. Its the area right in front of the Art Museum.

Students can live in Coventry, a neighborhood about a mile to the east:

Cleveland is a friendly city, with a lot to do.

how is the student safety on the campus

How is campus 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.
