Immerse yourself in the dynamic atmosphere of Case Western Reserve University, a premier research institution located in the heart of Cleveland’s University Circle neighborhood. At CWRU, learning goes beyond the classroom—students engage in hands-on, experiential opportunities across every discipline. From cutting-edge research labs and innovative design studios to community partnerships and real-world internships, CWRU empowers students to apply their knowledge, tackle real challenges and make a tangible impact. Connect with passionate students and faculty, explore state-of-the-art facilities, and discover how CWRU’s collaborative spirit fuels both academic and personal growth.

Step onto the historic campus of Oberlin College and Conservatory, known for its exemplary academic and musical pedagogy and its commitment to social justice, sustainability, and creative entrepreneurship. Located in a quintessential college town just 35 minutes from Cleveland, Oberlin holds a distinguished place among American colleges and universities as the first to grant bachelor's degrees to women in a coeducational program and the first to adopt a policy to admit African Americans. Oberlin's 2900 students pursue countless passions and interests within a supportive, collaborative community that is focused on undergraduate teaching, hands-on research, culturally immersive study away experiences, and world-class music opportunities. In the last century, Oberlin alumni have gone on to earn more PhDs than graduates of any other liberal arts institution, and the college is currently the top producer of Fulbright awardees among U.S. undergraduate-only institutions.
