does the USPS in thwing provide international mailing?

Genuinely scares me tbh

I've heard that SAGES courses are going to be discontinued. Are they still offered for Fall 2025?

I wanted to take it for spring 2024, but ran into some scheduling issues.

Looking for a weighing scale to track my fitness goals

Trying to get part of my breadth out of the way. Am looking for a snooze-fest social sciences class. I'm talking like as little time consuming assignments as possible throughout the sem and preferably not mandated attendance. Like Soci 101 with Donald Hutcherson level easy, or like ENGR 399 difficulty/hours per week.

EDIT: CAN ALSO BE AN ARTS AND HUMANITIES

Thanks!

May you never find peace. We also have you on camera committing felony theft.

im int student , applied ea , should i book an interview and how , is it required?

For this of you that applied for the emt course for next semester what is the time line for hearing back after applications were submitted?

Could some kind soul please go up and clean the lens on the camera!

If I put effort into it and work on a regular basis, is it realistic to get a pretty good grade or is there a glass ceiling on how much they're willing to grade you?

I’m currently a freshman and i’m not sure if I want to stick with neuro. Anyone a psych major on the pre-med track? I was considering psych.

Which professor (Haywood or Burden-Gulley) is better for bio 215? I’m taking it next semester.

I was up there to get a free flu shot a few weeks ago, which was the first time I had any real experience with the inside of it, and that crystallized a lot of impressions I'd been kicking around every time I'd gone past the exterior.

Most of my problems with it relate to the siting and grounds. I can understand the desire to move part of the medical school closer to the Cleveland Clinic, so while the remoteness of it from the rest of Case does cause obvious problems with getting to it, that isn't a problem with the design in and of itself.

The problem is that the shuttles most people will use to get to Samson, stop waaay in front of it, across a long, barren no-mans-land of sidewalk. Not only is this unfriendly to scrubs-clad students in inclement weather, but it also serves to conceptually isolate the building so that it feels less like an extension of Case, than a remote island. It's not like you get on a shuttle on the main quad, and then get off in another part of Case; there's this section of empty, foreign land in between them.

This is exacerbated by placing the other Case entity nearby, the dental clinic, in a completely different building across the street.

Additionally, despite ostensibly being sited to increase collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, Samson is actually a noticeable distance away from any Clinic buildings and is not integrated into the walkway system that unites the main Clinic campus.

Just in general, my big problem with Samson is how far back it is set from the street, and how little use it makes of its lot- most of which is either flat paving or flat, empty grass, which looks desolate and barren, especially in the wintertime. It almost feels like a flex- that property cannot have come cheaply or easily, given the location, and it's almost like Case is saying "look at us, we're just going to let this space sit empty because we've got money and influence to spare". The big empty atrium in the middle adds to that impression. It also seems like they wanted to remove as many elements as possible that could block views of the actual building, but the building's exterior is unimpressive and looks pretty much like any other post-2000s contemporary office block, just on a somewhat larger scale.

I think that site could have accommodated the dental clinic as well in one building or two proximate buildings, with a little re-arranging.

My main objection to the interior is that it's very white and very barren, and has a lot of glass curtain walls. It seems to physically handle extremes of temperature okay (in fact, I believe it won some kind of sustainable design award for its thermal system), but psychologically I think it feels cold and dry inside when there's cold weather outside, especially in that big flat stone-floored atrium (views of that barren outer lawn certainly don't help). Some greenery inside would help this greatly- the Cleveland Museum of Art has a large planting in its atrium, for instance. There's a little bit already on the first floor of Samson, but not nearly enough, and very little on the upper levels.

Finally, what is the deal with adding very tall entrance doors that are physically difficult to open? Both Samson, and the new Olin lobby, have these and I don't understand the thinking that went into them at all.

What would I do to fix it? On a small budget (as such things go), invest in additional greenery for the interior and maybe paint some walls as accent walls; extend the driveway so that the shuttles actually stop near the front doors, and put in some kind of landscaping with a few hills or terraces on the lawn, plant a few more trees. Then mark that entire lawn section for future construction the next time an expansion of the medical school is planned.

Thoughts? I'd be particularly interested in hearing from students who actually use Samson and take classes in it, particularly about how much of the different programs occur within it, versus either the old medical school buildings or actually in the Clinic.

I’ve been hearing mixed opinions about preferences. For context I am a freshman bio major

I already ED

applied ea and just wondering

Just lookin for a percentage and was wondering if it was curved?

Which out of the 3 BIOL intro sequences did you find the hardest and the easiest?

I found 214 to be the easiest, but my friends who took it with Bader say 215 is easiest. 216 was toughest for me but got way easier once I just literally memorized each line of the 500 slides.

should i submit a 1400 sat to case? ik the average sat of admitted applicants to case is like a 1440, but according to collegeboard, my school’s average sat score is around a 900, so it might look good to college admissions officers if i do submit.

Hi so I applied to CWRU as a transfer and My HS GPA 3.66 My College GPA is 3.88 (They will consider both I called and ask) Part of PTK honor society which means I will get 25k

I receive the full amount of fafsa I did the online calculator thing and it says my estimated amount to pay is 3k

What scholarships or grants I may get ? Can I get merit base-scholarship as a transfer, if so what I may get with that GPA

Main Q will I get accepted with this GPA ? I heard CWRU is competitive

I’m currently taking Genetics with Crown and want to continue taking more genetics classes. Has anyone taken this Plant Genomics class with him? How was your experience? What were his problem sets like?

how is the class taught or structured? who's the prof and is it intimidating for beginners?

I live in Noyes, one of the new buildings. They added AC this year, and sent out in their email bragging about how they were using on HVAC system, which wouldn't make noise. In fact, they said if you like the sound of AC, to bring a fan so you can hear the blowing sound.

Now this thing is anything BUT quiet. It sounds like rushing water and is honestly more annoying than the sound of normal AC. Now this should not be the case for an HVAC system. Since it was just installed, the most likely cause would be air in the system, which they would need to purge to make sure there is only water in the pipes.

Basically, I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I'm thinking about emailing housing about it, but from my experience, I doubt they will do anything. It just is such an annoying noise and how do you expect me to sleep and study well with that on?

I need an 80 on E3 and get a 77 on the final to keep an A. Is that doable? I'm terrified about how hard she's gonna make it because the content is already so much worse.

HI y'all, the cwru application has a pre-med major and a biology major... what should i pick if i plan on majoring in biology as a pre-med?

EDIT: I picked biology and submitted my app last night. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, I am applying with major in Mechanical Engineering undergrad. I also have interest in playing piano so I want to submit some of my performances in the portfolio through my portal to enhance my application. As I am not going to pursue the music major, I submit the portfolio as optional so do I have to follow the requirements for the digital portfolio for music major students or I can submit any of my performances on the portal?

hi! i just got accepted to the MSMP program for spring 2025 and wanted to know if anyone could comment on their experience :)

Hi everyone,

I’m a junior at CWRU, currently living off-campus, and I’ve got a frustrating situation with the mail/package system. Back in early September, I had a $200 package delivered to Fribley Commons. USPS and the store both confirmed that it was successfully delivered and accepted there on Sept 9th. When I went to pick it up, the Commons staff told me they couldn’t process it because I live off-campus and that they would be returning it to the sender. This confused me because I had successfully retrieved an earlier package, which caused me to assume that Fribley was able to accept packages for off-campus students. However, the next package they received they informed me that it was going to be Returned to Sender and only after I told them I was staring right at my package that they begrudgingly gave me my package, with RTS scrawled on it.

Over the next few days, I managed to retrieve several other packages from the office after explaining my situation, but there remains one package, unfortunately the most valuable one, that is “already returned.” I changed my delivery address to my own apartment and have successfully received all subsequent packages, but the very last package delivered to Fribley is still missing. I’ve been checking in regularly with the sender and USPS, and both confirmed that no official Return to Sender (RTS) request was ever made. I've been to Fribley multiple times to ask about their RTS policies and implored them to check their RTS package piles or give any more information I can go off of, but It’s been two months now, and the store still hasn’t received any returned packages from me.

From what I've checked online so far, there’s nothing in the university’s policies that explicitly excludes off-campus students from using Fribley Commons for package processing. I’ve saved screenshots of the policies from the university’s website as proof. I have documentation of the delivery and acceptance of the package, plus confirmation that no official RTS request was issued. I’ve also called just about every number related to CWRU support and the CWRU mail system, and visited every help desk I could to get any leads for how to submit a complaint or get a case opened for my package, but the calls have just sent me in circles (the operator sent my line to Wade Commons after I explained my problem was with Fribley lol). Every attempt to reach someone with authority to investigate or address the issue (open a case, file a claim, or even discuss compensation) has been unsuccessful. People I spoke to were sympathetic but couldn’t actually help advance my case.

I’m considering taking this to small claims court to get compensation since the university accepted my package and may be responsible for handling it properly. I've even considered calling around legal offices/firms wherever for advice cos I'm at my wits end about this affair, but I wanted to ask for advice here first. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any suggestions on steps I should take or whether small claims is worth pursuing?

If anyone has any idea of who I can even begin to talk to for this I would be endlessly grateful I'm losing my mind.
