Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus parties and frat parties are student favorites, especially for students not of drinking age. The most convenient club and bar location is Coventry, but many students, owners of legal and non-legal IDs, expand their horizons to downtown Cleveland. For a 20-minute, $20 cab ride, Case students can hit up the Flats and the Warehouse District in downtown Cleveland, although the area doesn’t really cater to college students. As for the raging weekend-long party scene, there is naught to mention. But Cleveland is by no means as young-person friendly as other large cities such as New York or Chicago. The nightlife scene is not geared toward college students so most students find entertainment and nightlife nearer to campus.

Students who come to Case have an understanding prior to enrollment, that Case is almost the farthest thing from a party school. Those without this understanding have been known to either acquire a renewed appreciation for studiousness, or to have become transfer students. That is not to say that there are no parties at Case, they’re just not as numerous as, say, the number of students that at any given time are playing Warcraft. Social interaction comes in many forms here, nightlife in its purest, rowdiest form does not happen to be one of them. The bottom line is that if you’re looking for social stimulations, you’ll find it. If you’re waiting for it to find you, look into downloading Warcraft.

Go Greek

If you decide to come to Case Western and want to be a social butterfly the first thing you should do is consider going greek. Even though at Case it is not the typical sorority/fraternity scene it is still a great way to meet people, learn about what is going on and a way to network with those you would have never had the chance to meet.

Also, Case has some good hotspots with Little Italy being in walking distance and Coventry a short bus ride away. you can also venture into downtown Cleveland for some great bar options and clubs. There are also many famous places around here such as the Hard Rock Cafe, the Winking Lizard, and Melt.

Most people I know spend their time either studying or playing video games. I suppose there are the party type of people out there at Case Western Reserve University, but they're few and far between. Case is definitely a nerdy place.
