How to Take a College Visit to Case Western Reserve University

Case Western Reserve University is the result of a merger between the Case Institute of Technology and the Western Reserve University in 1967. Western Reserve College opened in 1826 with a focus on the classics. In 1882 Western Reserve College moved to Cleveland, hoping to increase its size while educating Cleveland's community. The Case School of Applied Science was born in the early 1880s in Cleveland. After many years of joint projects, the two schools decided to combine.

1. Tour the Rockefeller Building that is occupied by the Physics Department. The building was a gift from John D. Rockefeller, who lived in Cleveland before making New York City his home.

3. Take in the beautiful architecture of the Mather Quad, Western Reserve University's college for women, the Flora Stone Mather College which was established in 1888.
4. Leave lots of time to wander University Circle, Cleveland's center of culture and history and just a couple of miles from downtown. Take in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Cleveland Botanical Garden, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Orchestra or the Case Western Reserve University musicians.
