So you’ve already read about the hilarious and crazy things CWRU students can identify with, so it’s only right that we make a sequel. Here are 10 MORE signs that you attend Case Western Reserve University.
1. Everyone double majors.
You know the first day of the semester, when your professor goes around and makes everyone tell the class their name and major? Well, it’s almost impossible to count how many students rattle off more than one major or minor.
2. Your peers are from all over the world.
It’s not uncommon for you to sit in class with students from six of the seven continents. Who knows, there’s probably someone from Antarctica on campus, too.
3. Accepting Cleveland weather.
You know you go to CWRU when it goes from 70 degrees and sunny to thundering and raining to snowing three feet, all in 24 hours. Carrying an umbrella with you everywhere you go is not a fashion statement. It’s for protection.
4. Getting from the main quad to the north side of campus is your workout.
Don’t you just love sprinting half a mile to get from one class to another in 10 minutes? Yeah, me neither.
5. Naps are your best friend.
Any time, anywhere, you could probably just fall asleep. Not to mention that naps just happen to solve all of your problems, from that math homework to dealing with that group project. Who says naps aren’t productive?
6. Everyone is doing work 24/7.
Ever seen someone write a paper while simultaneously going for a jog? No? Just head to Veale and see it for yourself.
7. Students try to argue with the professor.
There’s always that one kid in class who thinks he knows more than the professor with his doctrate. So he decides to test him. For an hour. But you know you go to CWRU when this you’re totally used to it because it happens so often.
8. You know people who are inventors, have patents, and have bascially saved the world a few times.
As a student at CWRU, you meet some pretty amazing people. But sometimes you can’t help but feel underaccomplished because you haven’t invented the flying car yet.
9. You never knew how you would look as a zombie. Until finals week.
Because the workload at CWRU is so intense, you kind of completely give up looking like a decent human being sometimes. What’s a hairbrush, anyways?
10. Those nerds you thought only existed on tv? They’re in your lecture class.
CWRU has lots of smart people so it’s unavoidable that there are extreme nerds. Like the kind who don’t even know how to make eye contact while having a conversation.
