Why Cleveland?
Many people have heard of Cleveland, but few who have not been here really know this exciting, modern city. While it
proudly celebrates its industrial roots, Cleveland is in the midst of an exciting transformation toward a more diverse,
technology-focused economy. Throw in a reasonable cost of living, amenities like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum,
and the natural beauty of Ohio’s North Coast, and you have quite a place to call home. The city of Cleveland also features
entertainment, major-league sports, and outdoor activities. You may witness a Broadway production or opera at the
Playhouse Square, dance the night away in one of the city’s thriving entertainment districts, cheer on the Browns, Cavaliers,
Indians or one of the area’s minor league baseball, soccer, and hockey teams, sail on Lake Erie, or hike or bike Cleveland’s
famed 'Emerald Necklace,' the Metroparks that surround the city and dot the shoreline.
University Circle
The neighborhood immediately surrounding the Case Western Reserve University campus is known as University
Circle, an extraordinary educational, cultural, and medical district, located just minutes from downtown Cleveland. In
this one square mile, you will discover arts and sciences, museums and parks, galleries and restaurants. From blockbuster art
exhibitions to natural wonders of the planet, from world-class music to dazzling theater, the vast wealth of offerings in
University Circle rivals that of any metropolitan area in the world. This district is also home to University
Hospitals of Cleveland, a nationally recognized academic medical center. Among University Circle’s highlights are
the internationally acclaimed Cleveland Orchestra, the newly renovated Cleveland Museum of Art, and just minutes away is
the Cleveland Playhouse, one of the oldest theaters in the country.
Student Life & Environment
In addition to an outstanding academic and research experience, graduate students can also experience an enhanced sense of
student community through the Graduate Student Association (GSA). GSA is the graduate student voice of the Department
of Biomedical Engineering at the university. Its membership includes every biomedical engineering graduate student.
The GSA provides graduate students with a forum for vocalizing opinions regarding department and university-wide issues.
The GSA also provides an opportunity for fellowship among graduate students. It sponsors social events and service projects
that allow graduate students and their families to come together with each other, as well as faculty members and staff in a
fun social setting.
