I'm trying to get a feel for the size of Case Western for undergrad students. Can anyone share some details about its undergraduate population size? Especially interested if it's more of a close-knit community or larger campus vibe.
Case Western Reserve University has around 5,150 undergraduate students. This puts it in the medium-sized university category. While the exact feel or "vibe" can depend on various factors, many students report that they appreciate the balance of a close-knit community feel with the resources and opportunities of a larger university. The campus facilitates this blend due to its design and layout. Departments and colleges within the university are known for fostering a sense of community, and the undergraduate population isn't so large that students feel like they're in a sea of faces. This being said, the best way to really understand the vibe would be to explore the campus either virtually or in person, and to talk to as many students and faculty as you can. This way, you'll get different perspectives and can wrap your head around what to expect.
