It is probably easiest to list some of the opportunities she has mentioned to us.
-she was able to participate in a lab doing research with a faculty member and some graduate students in a engineering lab right from the start of the fall semester. It was an amazing opportunity that helped clarify working in a research lab would be like.
-she has been able to volunteer and do service opportunities in a variety of settings. She loves being involved in community service, and there are a huge amount of possibilities at CWRU. She tells us that the office that runs the program is great, as they always have different opportunities being posted.
-she told us that all of her professors have been wonderful about suggesting ways to get more involved with their subject matter, through special events and speakers. She says the courses have been challenging and she feel like she is really learning a lot.

–My daughter is heavily involved in music and has found the entire music department to be outstanding, She has taken advantage of CWRU’s relationship with the Cleveland Institute of Music (which is located next to the CWRU campus), being able to take classes through the conservatory experience they offer. She has seen the Cleveland symphony (for free), participated in a special daylong master class with a guest artist, and been able to participate in several musical ensembles.

-Her SAGES class did some field trips to the local several museums which at located right next to the campus. She said the natural history and art museum were both very interested in having CWRU students work or intern at the museums. She thought it was pretty cool that they got to see the actual artwork in their textbook at the Cleveland Art Museum.
-Several of her classes were heavily discussion based, which she really liked.
-She says her dorm is filled with an incredibly dedicated and supportive group of fellow students who really care about the world and each other. She said the culture at CWRU is one of “academics first.” Whereas, some of her HS friends at other schools talk about the partying really getting in the way of getting the most out of a college experience.
-Her friends have utilized the free regional transportation pass that all students get to visit the downtown area of Cleveland and some other nearby areas, as well to get to the airport when she flew home.
-She has found the upper classmen she has met to be equally supportive and welcoming and has found herself involved in a couple different clubs.
-She has attended several different activities fairs and international fairs on the campus and is planning out a study abroad experience, She tells us a lot of students at CWRU go on study abroad.

-About her only complaints have been about the food (sometimes) and the quality of the freshmen dorms. The dorms are not terrible, but are a bit outdated compared all of the other ones on the CWRU campus and at many of the other colleges we looked at. She tells us that her HS friends at other schools also generally complain about their food too, so that might just be a thing.

Anyway, I hope this is helpful.
