I wonder if the list was confined to evaluating the top 50 nationally-ranked universities.  If so, the ranking is not wholly unfair.  But if encompassing all college campuses, the ranking is an absolute joke.  I mean, even within Northeast Ohio, how can you say Case's campus is less attractive than CSU (a brutalist masterpiece) or U Akron (a whole big mess).  While the South Side of campus is not great, the North Side is fairly attractive, especially with CMA, Severance Hall, Allen Memorial, Glidden House, Temple Tiffereth and other highly attractive buildings all integrated into the campus.

Especially since UC is named a top ten most beautiful neighborhood year after year.

Um, yeah.  As with most Forbes lists, this one got a major side eye.

CWRU on the up and up:

If that doesn't provide a boost to projects like Intesa, I don't know what will!

Great news. Im excited to see the future of CWRU

"a figure that represents growth of 25 percent over 2012, and 150 percent over those who applied five years ago."

how does that compare with other US universities? not sure about undergrads, but at the graduate level, school application numbers always go up when the economy is bad.

[StrapHanger]

Good question about the overall trend, though I doubt a crap economy inflates undergrad applications for private universities. If anything, I'd guess it causes a shift towards cheaper alternatives.  And even the effect on grad school aps is sometimes swamped by other forces. I'm pretty sure sure law school applications, for example, have been much lower in recent years than during the boom.

Unless the bump in applications was caused by a cynical marketing push aimed at poorly credentialed high schoolers with no shot at admission (which some schools have been accused of), this is great news for Case.

Case is an awesome place!  I mean, it's gotta be to convince someone to stay for 9 years and 3 degrees, lol.

Four Case Western Reserve trustees commit a combined $10.5 million to the university
By TIMOTHY MAGAW
11:48 am, March 7, 2013

Four Case Western Reserve University trustees have committed a combined $10.5 million to the university's $1 billion fundraising campaign.

The university did not disclose the names of the donors or the terms of the gifts, but said in a newsletter the details would be shared once the commitments were finalized.

“We are deeply grateful to our trustees for their commitments to our capital campaign,” Case Western Reserve president Barbara Snyder said in a statement. “Their support sends a powerful signal to all of our alumni and friends regarding their confidence in Case Western Reserve's future.”

The university's major fundraising campaign went public in October 2011. In the university's last update to Crain's in late January, the campaign had brought in just shy of $800 million.

Smart move CWRU, smart move...


CWRU to honor Peter Lewis and Frank Gehry in upcoming commencement ceremoniesPrint  By Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer

In a gesture with a rocky back-story and rich historical nuances, Case Western Reserve University will honor internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry and philanthropist Peter B. Lewis during commencement ceremonies on May 19.

Lewis, the chairman of Mayfield-based Progressive Corp., has been named the 2013 commencement speaker. He’ll also receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters degree. So will Gehry.

The honors will punctuate the end of the 10th anniversary year of the Weatherhead School of Management’s Peter B. Lewis Building, the curvaceous and exuberant building designed by Gehry and named for Lewis in honor of a $37 million donation that made the project possible.

CWRU President Barbara Snyder said she’s excited to stage a Lewis-Gehry reunion and to honor both men. The event also continues a rapprochement between Lewis and his hometown after he charged in the early 2000s that CWRU mismanaged its side of the design process for the building and let the cost skyrocket from $40 million to $61.7 million.
