When you picture your college experience, don’t forget to think about the neighborhood. Who—and what—is around you can make all the difference.

Case Western Reserve University’s one-of-a-kind neighborhood is packed with world-class resources that will launch your career in a BIG way. Just steps from your first-year residence hall, you’ll find:

  • Medicine: Get hands-on at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center—shadowing, doing clinicals and conducting research with some of the world’s top healthcare leaders.
  • Culture: Build your skills at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Severance Music Center (home of the Cleveland Orchestra). Take the stage—or work behind the scenes—at the state-of-the-art Maltz Performing Arts Center.
  • Education: Collaborate with creative minds from the Cleveland Institute of Art and Cleveland Institute of Music, or cross-register for classes and lessons. Dive into innovation at Sears think[box], the largest university makerspace and innovation center in the United States.

    At CWRU, you’re surrounded by opportunities to get real experience and build your resume—without ever leaving the neighborhood.
