Case is a great, and extremely challenging school that really *forces* students to advance to the next level. Those who do not push themselves to their absolute limit will simply fail out, and will be going elsewhere. Getting into the school is a great achievement, and graduating is an infinitely greater one. After graduating, you will be lined up for success like never before (so long as you get a job directly out of college, or especially if you do an internship) and set up to make good money for...

Not everyone knows Case Western by name, but the ones that do will respect you immensely for your degree. I've heard it referred to as "The MIT of Ohio" by more than one person. It's an immense challenge that will keep you up for many late nights, but it's worth every minute.

The school itself was decent overall. It had most of the elements you would expect from a good college, including clubs, academic programs, and campus events. The best part of my experience was definitely the people I've met. I met many great friends and fellow students along the way. However, the dormitories and buildings were the worst part in my opinion. Many of them were old and poorly maintained, yet were still very expensive to live in. The dining hall food was also underwhelming and far from... Read More cheap. Academically, the experience was mixed. Some professors were passionate about teaching and cared for the students, but many seemed more focused on their own research and only taught because it was required.

I attended Case Western Reserve University about 10 years ago, so this may not be a fully up-to-date perspective. There are definitely some clear positives and negatives. On the positive side, the campus is really nice—the library, cafeteria, dorms—everything is comfortable and well-suited for studying. On the downside, as an Asian student, I often felt isolated and lonely. It was hard to form meaningful relationships, and the weather didn’t help—during the winter, you’re basically stuck inside your... Read More dorm. I also found it challenging to connect with some professors, as a few were quite distant. Overall, at Case Western, you really have to make the best of your situation—it largely depends on your own effort.

After completing several degrees in online programs I was hesitant to go back to a "traditional" program. However, I was overall thrilled with my educational experience at MSASS at CWRU. The classes were small and had a diverse mix of students with faculty that were generally very invested in the success of their students. I will say, at first I was a bit put off that every one of my instructors was an "adjunct" - however, I quickly realized the value of having working professionals leading the classroom... Read More in a program like this one. These were people that were "walking their talk" every single day in a professional setting and bringing that insight into the classroom. This significantly increased the value of the learning experience in the program. If you are working in the non-profit space and are looking for a program that can help you understand the business aspect of leading your organization, I can't recommend this program highly enough!

Was very excited to join Weatherhead but was fairly disappointed after being here for a while. Way more things are promised than are actually offered. The career service is no help at all. They don’t bring in companies that are targeting Master students so you are pretty much on your own, which can be a very frustrating process. What is also frustrating is that when concerns are raised, nothing about it changes. I personally think I would have gained more knowledge and had a better experience at... Read More a different school and regret enrolling in the MFin program at Case. I think grad school should include networking opportunities as well as events with fellow classmates, none of which really happened. I often had the feeling that WSOM focuses much more on their MBA program and leaves the finance program out.

Case Western Reserve University has a lot of upside given it's assets, personnel and location. As a business student, you will encounter staff with tons of experience. The classes are setup to teach you to engage with others just like you would in the real world. Case like many other institutions is what you make it. Students have much influence over the atmosphere on campus and students have the power to make the campus their own. There is no shortage of opportunities to get involved, help the community...

University is truly loaded with talented, dedicated students that come from all over. Not only does CWRU provide you with phenomenal instructors that are many times practicing research on campus, but the resources made available to you through the city's surroundings, are world-class. CWRU takes immense pride in its community and partnering with businesses nearby. International, graduate, doctorate, and law students bring a level of diversity to campus, in addition to the surrounding Arts and Music... Read More colleges.
