November 4, 20186 yr Just now, KJP said: You forget the rapes and other attacks that occurred at/near the University Circle Red Line station in the late 70s and early 80s. I used that station all the time then. It was quite isolated from the campus, you had to walk down Cedar under those bridges that were more like tunnels. Indeed, some considered it an example of how the campus walled itself off from the neighborhoods to the west. Which it did, rather unapologetically. I slipped into 20th Century CWRUese there. "Northside" and "Southside" always meant the campus itself and the residential areas. That little quadrangle defined by Murray Hill Road, the Adelbert Bridge, and the tracks wasn't really considered part of the campus.

November 5, 20186 yr 12 hours ago, KJP said: Should change with CWRU's planned development of the South Residential Village. Kind of a moot point now as the Clinic and evirons have pretty much expanded their way to the campus, as long predicted.. Though the Case Quad parking lot, MLK, and the Dillard trail park do make a rather strong buffer. From what I understand that little patch between MH road and the rapid station has pretty much been absorbed into the campus anyway. The Quad design wasn't very "neighborly" but it served its purpose. It unified that part of the campus, at the cost of isolating it a bit. Edited November 5, 20186 yr by E Rocc

In addition to the No. 1 spot, the school ranked one of the leading schools in America at No. 24. The medical school includes two programs— a university program with entering classes of about 180 and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine program, with a size of 32 students each year. In 2018, approximately 2,000 students applied for the 32 spots. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/education/case-western-reserve-university-school-of-medicine-ranks-no-1-in-ohio Edited March 13, 20196 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
April 10, 20196 yr ^ And this medical school has added a new $515 million facility to its profile: Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic launch new era of health education with Samson Pavilion dedication Innovative architectural design and state-of-the-future technology to welcome students from dental, medical and nursing schools APRIL 9, 2019 Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic launched a new era of health education today in dedicating the centerpiece of their new campus, the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion. “The dedication of the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion demonstrates the extraordinary value that the spirit of philanthropy brings to new generations of students. The Health Education Campus will have a major impact on advancing medical education and patient care,” said Tom Mihaljevic, MD, Cleveland Clinic chief executive officer and president. “Its unique curricula and design will inspire health care professionals to be members of interdisciplinary teams and promote lifelong learning.” This spring, the four-story, 477,000-square-foot building opens to 2,200 students from Case Western Reserve’s dental, nursing, and medical schools, including those from Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Students from the university’s social work school also will come to the Samson Pavilion for shared coursework, but will continue to take the majority of their classes in their own newly renovated building on Case Western Reserve’s main campus. As designed by London architects Foster + Partners, perhaps the most striking part of the Samson Pavilion is the 80-foot-high, 27,000-square-foot central courtyard newly named the Delos M. Cosgrove Courtyard through a generous gift from the outgoing chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Board of Directors, Robert E. Rich Jr., and his wife, Mindy. Dr. Cosgrove is the past CEO and president of Cleveland Clinic and currently serves as an executive adviser. https://thedaily.case.edu/case-western-reserve-cleveland-clinic-launch-new-era-of-health-education-with-samson-pavilion-dedication/ Edited April 10, 20196 yr by MuRrAy HiLL

Each scientific and research institution has signed an affiliation agreement with Case Western Reserve’s Department of Biology, which will serve as the academic degree-granting institution for the group. Representatives from each met at the museum Tuesday evening to ceremonially sign the agreements and celebrate their collaboration. The agreements make official a variety of existing-but-informal arrangements among the four biology-focused institutions, said Mark Willis, chair of biology at Case Western Reserve.

August 21, 20195 yr Colleges across the country are seeing the number of applications skyrocket because of the adoption of the Common Application. Now you can fairly simply apply to ten colleges with the same form, so some of this increase in applications can be attributed to an increase in the number of colleges each prospective student is applying to.

I wish they broke out "other countries" more. For example, for undergrads, they show 122 students from 'other countries' from about 42 countries (52 less those listed). so that would be on average 3 students from each of those, whereas they give a dedicated line to Saudi which has 0 to 2 students each year.

Law is perennially running a deficit? That's a little bit of a surprise. Those are profit centers to most universities, I thought. 1 hour ago, Terdolph said: One more thing that is a bit troubling. If 28% of 30k applicants are accepted, and only 1300 enroll, that means that the yield rate is only about 15%. That really hurts the rankings score. In the 70's and 80's, about 33% of all accepted applicants enrolled, although the number of applicants was far smaller-maybe 9k applicants, 3k admitted and 900 to 1000 enrolled, and most of them from Ohio. So, that suggest that CWRU is just collecting a lot of applications from out of state people who are either totally unqualified, or are highly qualified but have no intention of going there. I think @CbusTransit had a good point on that earlier, though, regarding the Common Application. I applied to three schools when I graduated from high school in 2000. I had applications to dream schools (Penn and Princeton) in process but abandoned them when I realized it was really unlikely I'd go there even if I got in, for financial reasons. So my personal acceptance rate was 33%--I accepted one of three. And only two schools out there got a "ding" on their matriculation rate from having made me an offer that I declined. Today, I might well apply to 8 or 16. The "barriers to entry" to apply to any one school beyond the first are just lower. What's interesting to me is the decline in Ohio resident students from 2278 in 2008 to 1350 in 2018. That's a very significant drop. I wonder if that's because of admitting fewer Ohio students or Ohio students expanding their application pool and ultimately choosing to go elsewhere.
August 23, 20195 yr One additional bit of information is that many schools in Ohio are diversifying their geography intentionally—there will not be enough Ohio high schoolers to fill Ohio’s colleges in the coming years. Especially expensive private schools.

I think the bigger worry compared to safety is CWRU's scholarship system. If you move off campus as an upperclassman, Case takes away a sizable chunk of your financial aid. I imagine that won't actually end up being an issue though for one of two possibilities: 1. CWRU will acquire/build more housing. 2. or CWRU will allow people to live off campus without losing financial aid.

The thing isn't being afraid to leave campus as much as it is that CWRU cuts your financial aid by the amount they calculate you'll save living off campus. Which means your rent and utilities is more than $500 it's not worth it. There are a lot of cheap apartments in Little Italy but all the new ones along Euclid and Mayfield are way more than that. CWRU says they exclude "luxury" apartments from their calculations but every new building is marketed as "luxury". The options really are stay on campus and live in the pretty new dorms in the village and STJ, or move off campus and live in some drafty early 20th century duplex or apartment and save a couple hundred dollars.
