<p>Hi,</p>
<p>ill be honest: applied to case cause it was free on the common app. got in with a huge scholarship wich is making me think twice about case.
but what does case offer that distinguishes it from other unis ??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>student-faculty ratio 8:1 ; 69% of classes have fewer than 30 students; 52% of classes have fewer than 20 (compare that to OSU, or Cornell for that matter)</p>
<p>single admission allows access to any program; can dual major in any combination of programs; can get BS/MS in 5 years in almost any program</p>
<p>3300 undergraduates, 6000 graduate students</p>
<p>campus located in a cultural center (museum of art, Cleveland orchestra, botanical gardens, other museums, art institute, music conservatory) and large hospitals complex</p>
<p>main library (Smith) is new and state of the art</p>
<p>students get free public trans. passes; rapid transit stop on campus goes to the airport</p>
<p>College Prow ler guide ratings:</p>
<p>A+ computers (network access, computer & labs technology avail)</p>

<p>College P rowler says 10 best things about Case:
1. Location
2. fiber optic gigabit ethernet network
3. UPB events
4. residence hall life
5. abundant research opportunities for undergrads
6. the film society
7. financial aid and scholarships
8. excellent academic preparation for the real world
9. you can reach anyone on campus at night via AIL or email
10. student diversity</p>
<p>thks for your thourough answer but honestly i dont think i would choose a school cause they have good computers and gigabit ethernet ;-)
what about job prospects? and prestige ? compared to lets say Umich..</p>
<p>Just to clear up one point...at the beginning of each semester each student must buy a bus/train pass for $25. That pass lets the student ride the train/bus system throughout the Cleveland area for free. It is still a great deal when you consider the expense of maintaining a car...but it is not "free".</p>
