What’s the best thing about life at CWRU?

The chance to do research—starting in your first semester. The dedicated faculty who help you find your passion. The location, with more than 50 arts, cultural, medical and education institutions within 1 mile. And, of course, the friends you’ll make along the way.

But don’t take our word for it. See what our students have to say, and to hear from students and ask your questions live!

Arts & Culture

Our prime location in the city’s arts and cultural district puts you just steps away from top-ranked museums, a world-class orchestra and beautiful gardens, not to mention our own performing arts center and an arts film house. And in minutes, you can be downtown enjoying the nation’s largest theater district outside Broadway.
