My daughter has said the study abroad staff is very proactive and helpful. She is a freshmen now, and she wants to study abroad a semester in the future. They had a international fair where she met some of the international education staff and they gave her a lot of options to think about. She has heard that a lot of students study abroad at CWRU, including a lot of students from STEM. There website is really full of information: https://case.edu/international/office-of-education-abroad/

As for the question about workload, my daughter does seem to be quite busy with her classes, but she still seems to have plenty of time to be involved and do all the other things that make the college years special. She does sound like she has to prioritize things. The good news is she really feels she is being challenged, is learning a lot, that her classes are great, and our tuition dollars are well spent. While it is still early in her time at CWRU, after one semester completed she feels like CWRU is fully preparing her for the future.

As for career shadowing opportunities, CWRU has all the normal internships, etc. But they also have something really special with their COOP program: http://engineering.case.edu/coop/
This is a program where the school sets you up with a paid position between junior and senior year. They have a lot of other programs for other types of majors too. http://engineering.case.edu/coop/
