I think Case has a stronger science/engineering program, though Rochester is also an excellent school so you will not go wrong either way.

With regards to the humanities, I’ve always been impressed with the quality and caliber of the social science programs on campus. Case aggressively recruits the best faculty in their fields and makes sure they have all the resources they need (nice benefit of a $1.5B endowment).

Cleveland’s also a more “happening” city than Rochester. There is a lot more to do here during your four years.

Also keep in mind that the city is in the rust belt - you we have a ton of engineering firms here that Case has a close connection with. Just as being in NYC is great for a finance student, being in the Midwest is great for an engineering student.
