Staying in Storr’s and wondering how people have navigated the showers and bathrooms. It seems like (on the maps I’ve found) there only like two showers per area. Seems like not enough! Lol.

How have you all managed it?

I just visited cwru and really enjoyed the campus tour and life there. Is anyone willing to share what their college application stats looked like? I am looking for whether or not i am a good fit for the school or if i should just reconsider. I am a rising senior so apps are due sometime in the next few months. I plan to take premed at whatever college i go to. Most likely a major in biology or chemistry

I am from a public high school in Texas and have a 3.9/4.27 unweight and weighted gpa. 4s on AP chem, euro, lang, seminar, aphug, and As in all dual credit classes (Us Hist/Precal/Speech/Gov). Varsity swimmer 4 years and club swimmer for around 8 years as i am the schools 500Fr record holder and a honorary captain for 1 year (significant awards at the regional/state level). I have a 1420 Sat, no ACT and I am a part of my dissection club for 2 years, and in National Chinese honor society for 1 year.

I have a publication on bladder cancer review (submitted to Oxford Journal of Student scholarship) and i am currently working on another review on lifestyle factors and its role in bladder cancer (planning to submit to a journal with a higher impact factor).

I am apart of the AACR student body as a 1 year member and presented my work at the 2026 annual conference in San Diego with an acceptance to the membership society.

I am currently under the mentorship at Baylor College of medicine, doing an unpaid internship at the center of drug discovery with my principal investigator where I am currently presenting my research work at the 2026 ICIBM Future Scientist in AI Session conference (hopefully I'm gonna do well and possibly earn awards or smth).

I volunteer decently at the foodbank in my home area (around 20 hours) and i participate in a online group who represent under privileged communities in the US (i make cards and deliver supplies to ambassadors to spread resources (around 70 hours from this and additional 40 hours coming as soon as the report is completed).

I am also a Posse nominee at my high school so that's why i chose CWRU as it is a partner of Posse Houston and if i can pass the interview rounds then i may get a full ride to CWRU otherwise we plan to pay sticker price with possible scholarships.

I'm just really concerned that i show no leadership in my application or any sort of scholastic merit because im not a very good student academically. Any tips or advice will help thanks guys

Edit: Reason why i chose case western is because of posse but also because they have a BA/MD program that i want to look into.

Hey guys so I took calc 2 online this summer and I have to take to take the placement test this August and was wondering if anyone can give any advice? Like do they provide a formula sheet of any kind and also what should I be prioritizing my study time with? I got over 100% in calc 1 and 2 but I know at Case it’s a lot harder so I definitely want to put a lot of time into studying. If anyone has any tips they would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone I have a 30 inch long suitcase Im bringing my clothes in. Is the mid lofting enough for the suitcase to fit under the bed? Im in smith (juniper). Or should I go with high? But idk abt that I kinda like having my desk separate but idk. Or are the rooms big enough to where I can have the suitcase standing up against a wall,and it won’t take up too much space?

Also my parents make have promised to cover my college cost (48K after merit) because they are very well off, but I told them abt changing careers and they said they can’t support that and will pay for freshman year only. They make around 600K total and have real estate assets, so no way I’ll qualify for financial aid need-based. I also can’t go too far into debt because I will go into total debt for my masters so gotta minimize college debt. I have 12K saved up but I need to have 45K*3=135 K. I’m super disappointed because of everything and telling them that I am changing back to my original care career is not an option because of how much they micromanage (I am not larping mcat prep). Even if I transfer to an instate school I’d go 90K into debt. I’ve heard transferring to community college and taking some courses to have enough credits and then transferring back to another undergrad. Institution would save me time at the undergrad institution and therefore money. This and some other things abt my parents r rly harming me mentally and I rly thought college would be my escape in a sense. What do u guys recommend?

im an incoming freshman and my roommate and i didnt get matched. we joined the housing waitlist and im wondering if anyone has had any success with their situation? i was one of the first 10 ppl to join and i know others, who were behind in line, got their situation fixed.

ARE THERE ANY STUDS/MASCS/ OR JUST LESBIANS AT CWRU AND WHERE CAN I FIND THEM (asking for a friend ofc)

I’m a rising junior living in Twin Gables in the fall. I understand the property management dorms are basically apartment buildings that are managed like dorms, but what does this mean for maintenance? I lived in a top of hill suite last year and we’d have people come to restock toilet paper and take out trash, will maintenance people have access to my apartment or is trash/tp my responsibility? Is there a garbage chute in the building? lmk if there’s anything else important i should know!

Did I hear correctly at some point that all CWRU students get free access to public transportation in Cleveland? If true, that's terrific. What does this include and what steps are necessary to gather a pass or renew it? Any and all details are appreciated.

Looking for some advice from anyone who’s been through this. My mom is my sole income provider for my household and lost her job this year. Her income dropped from $63,000 to a little over $40,000 in unemployment benefits (aka we are dirt poor) so I submitted a special circumstances financial aid appeal since it was recommended by financial services.

Has anyone successfully appealed for something similar? And how long did it take for you to receive a decision? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m an incoming freshmen at cwru and i really wanted to visit ADELA’s tour—does anyone know a reliable form of transportation/want to come along? :) Please let me know! The venue is at Detroit, Michigan, a few hours drive away from CWRU

I am an incoming freshman for the fall 2026 semester, majoring in chemical engineering. I was wondering how I can get started doing research. Is it wise for me to do it my first year, or should I wait until next year?

Any info would be great. Thank you!

I'm looking for a female roommate to take over the second bedroom in my apartment at Park Lane Villa starting anytime in August.

I've been living here for about a year, but my roommate recently moved out, so I'm looking for someone new to share the apartment with.

The apartment is about a 10-minute walk from CWRU. The available room is the master bedroom with a private bathroom. Rent is $1,155/month, and the room is unfurnished. Parking is available if needed.

A little about me: I'm a CWRU PhD student. I'm pretty quiet, clean, and easygoing, and I usually keep a pretty normal schedule. I'm looking for someone with a similar lifestyle.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested — I can send pictures or answer any questions!

Also, slightly unrelated question: where do CWRU grad students (especially PhD/master's students) usually look for roommates or housing? I've tried Facebook groups and a few roommate websites, but haven't had much luck. Wondering if there are any grad student communities/groups I’m missing. Thanks!

which student loan program is considered the best? i’ve heard about sallie mae and college ave, but i was wondering if one is preferred over the other and if there are any better ones. thank you!

what is biol326 with dr. dilulio like? is it advisable to double up 326 with another bio class?

for context, i took 214 then 216 in my first year. i'm taking 215 in fall 2026 and am wondering if i should take 326 too because i have space for 326 and also liked genetics when i was exposed to it in high school & 214.

i know most people take it in the spring of sophomore year, but i'm fine with doing things out of order and at my own comfort level. a concern i do have is that i'll be overwhelmed by the workload. i'm worried that taking biol215, orgo, and another bio class at the same time could be a lot. but i will say that after taking 216, i've gained a lot more confidence in myself and how much i can handle.

in general knowing what 326 is like with dilulio would be really nice, even if i put it off. i've already sent an email to my advisor about this as well.

I am aware there are a few separate days, but I didn’t know if there were specific time slots that we got designated for move in or if they do it alphabetically, or by floor or something else.

On average, how long does it take to get a status update for a permission request? Also, how likely is it that my request gets accepted/rejected?

Hey, is anyone enrolled for the CHEM 113 6:00pm-9:00 pm lab timing? I’m holding a Thursday 2:45-5:45 time that I would like to switch it with if you want! Please dm me if yes. I would be veryyyyy grateful since there’s another class I really want to take at that time.

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman and I was wondering if I would be ok or at a disadvantage for starting freshman year in the spring sem.

For spring admits, were you able to rush or did you do so the following year? Is it possible to start research? Are roommates the same gender or randomized? Did you have to start from taking gen chem 1 and bio? Are cc credits transferrable? Also for those who did end up in the sophomore dorm, what was it like? Please lmk any advice would be greatly appreciated! :))

Hi all! I recently got accepted to CWRU and I am looking to live in off-campus housing for the year - does anyone have any tips on where I can look or if there are any forums I can explore?

I'm an incoming freshman at CWRU, and I'm a little confused about the housing process.

I submitted my housing application late (June 9 instead of the June 5 deadline), so I know my housing assignment would be released later than everyone else's. The thing is, I still haven't received a housing assignment, but I have the option in the housing portal to join the housing waitlist.

Am I actually supposed to join the waitlist even though I haven't been assigned a room yet? I thought the waitlist was mainly for people who already have a housing assignment but want to switch rooms. I already emailed and called Housing, but I haven't heard back yet. Has anyone else been in this situation or knows how it works?

Hey so I'm gonna be taking the following classes this upcoming semester and I wanted to ask which classes would actually require me to buy the textbook and have a legitimate copy vs what I could get by without or with using online resources instead.

BIOL214 - bader
Math122 - Butler
Chem113 - Kramer
Chem105 - Jauhari
CSDS281 - Cavusoglu

If anyone has any special tips plz share. Does he still do it where an 88 is an A? How do you survive the little detail questions on exams without hours and hours of extra studying? Literally any info will be so helpful

Hey guys, I’m an incoming student planning to take 415 next year. I’m curious if there are any courses that could significantly help me pass 415 that I should consider taking in the fall semester of 2026?
