Students Say
Weatherhead professors are very helpful and dedicate time to students outside class “for discussions, extracurricular projects and coursework-related doubts,” and as the professors are often the authors of the textbooks being used, students “learn more than what is taught through the books.” Students also cite the campus’ “amazing infrastructure” as a key to their studies, which includes “study rooms, lounges, gym, pool, athlete center, libraries, medical center, IT support and a bar.” Students have the “ease of access to all departments under Case Western” and are free to use all the university’s libraries and facilities as well as licensed software resources, and there are ample places around campus to unwind for the day “which makes it a good blend for academic, professional and social life.”
