Explore Our Virtual Reality Campus

While we’d love for each of you to visit our campus this summer, we realize that might not be possible for every student. Or, maybe you’ve already come to Case for an open house or tour and want to explore the university further. We have a solution for both of those situations.

Check out our virtual campus, hosted by Second Life, a popular online system with millions of users worldwide. Learn more about campus landmarks, plot a course from quad to quad and explore our unique University Circle neighborhood and nearby downtown Cleveland as well. Along the way, you may run into Case faculty and students or other prospective students using the system, with whom you may be able to chat and ask questions about Case.

Weekend Welcome Series “Sells Out”

Our summer Weekend Welcome series has received an amazing response from high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors from across the country. A few minutes ago, we took the last reservation for the final event, scheduled for August 12.

Even though the series is over, we would still love to meet you. Customize a visit (first-time visitors are encouraged to register for a campus tour and group information session; interviews are available only to senior applicants) and plan a weekday road trip to Case.

Note: Sophomores, juniors and seniors--especially seniors interested in applying to Case in the coming months--can also consider attending a Summer Open House.

Come to Case for a Summer Open House

As our series of summer open house events heats up, I wanted to share with our readers some of the feedback we have received about our June 29 event:

“Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Case Western Reserve University summer open house. I learned a lot while I was there. Not only did the tour help answer questions I had about the field I want to major in, it also informed me about other programs that Case offers."

“I was impressed with the size of the campus, the friendly people and the variety of departments/majors available to incoming students."

“The experience overall was very enjoyable, and the campus tour was one of the most thorough campus tours that I have been on."

“Thank you for putting on a very well planned and covered event. We very much enjoyed the tour guides taking the time to answer questions with families…those informal sessions offered a lot of great information."

“Overall, this was an excellent experience. I got a sense of the campus, where the buildings are located, the admissions process, and a glimpse at some of the specific programs offered at Case."

Open houses take place on Fridays from July 13 through August 10; register today so you don’t miss out. Each event includes a campus tour, an overview of the admission process, your choice of four academic presentations (each covers a different undergraduate college), and tours of program-specific labs and other facilities. And, if that's not enough, we provide breakfast and lunch, too.

So break out your planner and plan a road trip to Case. Consider staying in town for the weekend to explore the surrounding area.
