Academics Summarized
Academics at Case seems to either be only slightly more difficult than high school was for some students or blows people right off their asses with the work load and difficulty. People don't really do "okay." In my experineces and what i know of my friends grades, you either succeed (much like you did in high school), or you fear every semester will be your last due to a subpar academic performance. (really though, the professors are willing to help, and they curve, so not many people really get kicked out.) Case is hard, I've never heard anyone deny that, but if you're considering grad school of any kind, Case will prepare you for it. I've talked to many Case Alumni who went on to med school and said that Case had prepared them so well, and they actually found undergrad harder than med school...
Just stick in there

Drugs and Booze
Case is not a party school. I beg you, if you want keggers and big greek bashes, do not come to case. This is not to say that the students don't have fun. In theory I could find alcohol on any given night of the week if i really really tried (I'm under 21), but this would most likely result in me drinking a PBR with 3 random people on a couch. Parties happen, but you can't expect great things every weekend.
Case does have a small underground drug scene. There's a fair amount of pot, and some research chemicals floating about. Really, when you have kids with loaded famlies, there is bound to be some sort of drug scene.

I am a nerd at heart, and Case has helped me grow in every way possible (academics, friends, confidence, goals, ect.) I would never trade my experience for anything, but it's definitely not everyones cup of tea
