Hi guys, I couldn’t register immediately for freshman classes at 9 AM due to a personal reason and I didn’t end up getting the classes I wanted. I need to sign up for chem 105, chem 113 (lab) and bio 221. I am really stressed I won’t get these classes and I need them as I’m pre med, I’ll literally pay someone if they drop it.

How do you guys actually manage the workload here?

Once the semester gets busy, what do students usually struggle with the most?

Is it keeping up with assignments, understanding difficult material, managing time, or balancing coursework with everything else?

For those of you who have struggled with your coursework at any point, what has been the hardest part of the experience?

What did you struggle with, and how did you deal with it?

Do students usually work through these struggles alone, or do they tend to find other students who are going through something similar?

Hey all, I recently chose my classes for freshman fall semester and ended up getting all the classes I wanted except Chem 113 on Tuesday from 2:45 to 5:45 pm.

I'm taking Chem 105, so naturally I wanted to take the lab as well, my intention as a pre-med was to start Bio and Bio lab in the spring, but as a last-ditch effort to get all the credits I needed I joined a class for Bio 214. For me, it just seems very disoriented to take the lectures and then the lab in a different semester.

I learned that Case has a drop and add week where everyone moves around their schedules, but I wanted to know if it's likely that a spot ever opens up, especially for this class which only takes 50 people.

Please let me know your experiences with fixing your schedules, and if anyone wants to drop that class at that time, LMKKK lollll!!

Hiii! I’ll be staying in tippit next year and want to know what to bring for my kitchen. Online it says that they don’t even provide garbage cans for us in the kitchen. Is that true? Other than that, what are some essentials?

Hey yall I love thrifting and was wondering if there were any good spots around case to thrift lemme know?? Thanks yall!

Thinking of switching from AIQS 100 to AIQS 130. Someone on here had really great things to say about 130 with Fejes, but her Rate My Professor ratings are horrible, so looking for more input.

I’m a Spring 2027 undergraduate admit. My financial aid offer appears in my admission portal, but when I log into My Financial Aid, there are no awards, documents, or options to accept aid. Is this happening to other Spring 2027 admits? For previous spring admits, when did your awards appear, and when were you able to accept loans?

I’m an incoming freshman at case this fall majoring in statistics on the premed track, and I was wondering which lab people would recommend I take! Is there any significant difference between these labs? Also, would anyone recommend taking a bio and chem lab (with the lecture courses as well) during the same semester? Any help is appreciated!

course list after today's registration^

For context, I want to pursue a minor in biomolecular engineering, and figured it wouldn't be the worst to take a bio class first year since i'd like to do a few minors. I do have concerns about taking chem and bio at the same time, though.

anth 102 - prof. almeida

chem 111 - prof. meyer

engr 130 - prof. harper

math 121 - prof butler

biol 214 - prof. dilulio

eche 151 - prof. baskaran

From what I saw on RMP, ANTH is an easier course because of prof. almeida, and so ECHE 151. im using anth for breadth. i'm concerned about the biol and chem combo, and would like to hear other students' takes on the schedule. chem i got ap credit for, but wanted to retake for gpa, and i took ap bio snr year and got a 4, though i know it's not the same. i still would like time to join a few campus clubs or work. thx all in advance!

Obviously I've heard bad things. Those who had her, how does she compare to the previous bio professors? I had Bader and Burden-Gulley specifically. I understand the course is content heavy already so obviously it's not easy, but what is the realistic situation of how her class is run? Is it as bad as people present it?

will there be more sections of PHYS 121 opened later because like all the labs filled up instantly?

I'm a neuroscience major, and this is my first year. The website was glitching for a minute, and within that minute, my bio class + lab and chem class + lab got filled. No other courses are open. What do I do? I did the course request and emailed my advisor. I want to graduate on time. Is there anything more I can do? What is the probability I will get the classes I need?

Last minute, but I hope this aids whomever may be in need. Happy registering, and good luck!

anyone a spring admit premed at cwru who can share their experience with class scheduling and getting all their requirements in before mcat and med school apps without a gap year? how are prereqs offered only in the fall such as chem 105 handled (i’m assuming summer classes) and does it set you back? what’s it like to graduate in 3.5 years?

Hi, I am an incoming freshman at Case, and I was wondering if these courses for the first semester were fine. Just wanted to do the minimum for now since I want to settle in. These are my courses for next semester.
MATH 125, MGMT 201, ACCT 100, ACCT 106, MGMT 198, and HSTY 100

Maybe I might take Chinese 101, but does anyone have any good recs on teachers or any knowledge of additional breadth courses, or just facts about the classes?

Hey everyone!

I'll be joining CWRU this fall and I've been spending way too much time reading this subreddit.

I'm an international student and I'm trying to get a better idea of what everyday life is actually like outside the brochures.

A few things I'm curious about:

• What's something you wish you knew before arriving?

• Best places to study?

• Is campus really walkable during winter?

• What's the social scene actually like?

• Any clubs you'd recommend joining?

Also...if anyone else is starting this semester feel free to say hi! Always happy to meet new people before move-in.

edit: one big question. can you order food ahead???? or do you need to order everything in person

Can someone please explain meal swipes and how they work? Like, how do you know what is covered by a swipe, and how do you use one (do you use id card or something else), and is there any way to see how many you have left for the week? Does anyone have any tips or tricks for using the swipes, like which locations have better value for a swipe? Does case western give some docuemnt with all of this information?

for some reason my advisor has not been responding to me, but I recently decided I did not want to pursue engineering and I wanted to pursue biochemistry instead. I wanted to ask if any biochem majors here have an idea on what freshman classes to take because I know some specific classes are requirements for others.

here is what I have below (my OG schedule for engineering).

• AIQS Course
• MATH 122
• PHYS 122
• CHEM 111
• Elective (I think HTEC 101 or ENGR 130) 

if I choose to do biochem I think it’s probable this will change somewhat since I am also planning to go pre-med (so I will need to take the physics course anyways). I have found a schedule back in 2023-2024 for reference by CWRU, but I’m not sure if taking the ones for engineering or the general one would be best. Much thanks to any advice anyone could provide.

Are most students able to get part-time jobs in case? if they do, do they pay well? Anyone minds sharing how much one can earn working part-time on campus jobs?

Is there a big difference between taking biol 214 taught by bader vs dilulio & gardner?

I’m just wondering because I really want to take biol 222l instead of biol 214l, but for me to fit it into my schedule i’d have to switch biol 214 to the section that bader teaches. And I haven’t heard many good things about him 😭

hi everyone, incoming freshman here. I'm planning on taking the math 122 placement exam during orientation week, and I need to know if there will be a formula sheet for the exam. prof chris butler has equation sheets at the ends of his exams/test reviews?... but the information i've found online about the placement exam formula sheet is confusing. any information would be super helpful!!

I need advice on whether I should drop my precal class bc I currently have 73 in that class. I’m taking summer classes at cwru and I’m not failing but I don’t really like my grade. I don’t want to ruin my gpa. I’m going to start my fall semester off to a bad start. My teacher gave me option to drop that class but I can’t take my final test. But I really want to take the test and I want to see progress in my math. I studied hard and worked my ass off to understand it but my last test something happened and I fucked up my test and got a bad grade. So my final test is my only way to see how much progress I have made. I know u could’ve done better. I don’t know what I should do.

My other class which is seminar, I don’t know my grade but I know I’m not getting an A bc I barely participate which worth 20 percent of our grade. So I’m fucked up.

is anyone here joining in spring semester and if so when are you planning to graduate
