About Residence Life

We work to build an on-campus community that fosters personal growth, teamwork and offers an opportunity for students to enjoy creative social, educational and cultural programs.

 

Each year, we welcome thousands of CWRU students to live and work alongside us. In recent years, we’ve tasked ourselves with overcoming unique challenges and disrupting the dynamics of an ongoing pandemic while supporting a larger residential community than ever before!

From strangers to sisters: A journey from roommate assignments to friendship at CWRU.

As an international student more than 6,000 miles from home, Nivedita Srinivasan arrived at Case Western Reserve three years ago knowing no one. While she expected to meet new friends and share experiences with her roommates, she never dreamt they’d show her the same depth of love and support her parents showed in her hometown.

Spartan Showcase: RA Margaux Johnstone

This summer, Margaux Johnstone found herself reciting poetry in Urdu to a rickshaw driver while in Lucknow, India. It was the ultimate test of her abilities with the language—an experience afforded to her through the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) program.

 

As a CWRU student, Johnstone also serves as a research assistant for MetroHealth’s Center for Biomedical Ethics and a resident assistant for upperclass housing on campus. Read on to learn more about Johnstone’s time abroad and her experience in the CLS program.

Vision

Residence Life strives to create a residential community that is more than just a place to rest your head; we strive to create an environment that bridges living and learning, to build a community that celebrates the individual, and to foster an experience that makes CWRU home.
