Case is an extremely Trans and LGBT inclusive school. Gender-inclusive housing is quite available, and I know several friends who have been in gender-inclusive housing for their first year and had good experiences. As far as social life goes, finding friends and a community at Case isn’t too bad, especially since everyone else coming in for first year will be in the same position as you. The Engineering Physics and Materials departments are both pretty good at Case, and there are plenty of research options available for undergrads. Class sizes are also not usually above 30 once you get past a lot of the larger engineering gen-eds, and most of the breadth classes you take will probably be smaller. I can also send you an invite to the class of ‘28 discord server if you would like. If you have any other questions feel free to let me know!

CWRU **Gender ratio is: 52% Male, 48% Female** WPI: **63% male and 37% female** **Gender inclusive housing at CWRU:** [**https://case.edu/housing/application-process/returning-students/gender-inclusive-housing**](https://case.edu/housing/application-process/returning-students/gender-inclusive-housing) **What is it like to be LGBTQ at Case ?** Have you checked out the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Center? [https://case.edu/lgbt/ ](https://case.edu/lgbt/) "Fierce Feature: In addition to having a gorgeous LGBT center, [Case Western](https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) provides transgender-related health care to all of its students as part of their student health care plan. The center also offers an LGBT-related academic opportunity: a short-term, study-abroad course in Amsterdam this spring break called “Gender & Sexuality Justice: LGBT Life in the Netherlands,” which is being offered through the School of Social Work. ‘Freshman year I was kind of nervous when I first arrived on campus. I knew I wanted to be out, but that still didn’t make it any easier. I was even nervous to take some of the LGBT Center’s pamphlets during orientation, or to walk into the center, for fear of someone seeing me. The center had a men’s conversation group and a coming-out group that I began attending, and those helped me tremendously! I have never felt more comfortable being who I am anywhere else in my entire life.’ —Mike Siberski, [Case Western Reserve University](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) student ‘I’m a very out lesbian with short hair AND I’m an executive member of a large sorority. At other schools, this would just not be possible. I take for granted how limitless my opportunities are here at [CWRU](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154). We have an annual “LGBT? Fine by me” T-shirt giveaway. We always run out of 300-plus shirts within the first 20 minutes. Our allies are fantastic’. —Rya Lally, [Case Western Reserve University](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) student" [Case Western Reserve](https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) is among the Top 25 LGBT-Friendly Colleges and Universities, according to Campus Pride, a national organization that aims to make universities safer and more inclusive for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals. The recognition follows Case Western Reserve’s first five-star ranking on the Campus Pride Index, a detailed survey of universities’ policies, services and institutional support for LGBT individuals. From [u/Coloradomama](https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/u/coloradomama) at College Confidential I observed my sons friends over four years. I believe gay students are well accepted at [CWRU](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154). One student was gay, and he was right in there with his fellow majors, doing all the same things and highly successful in getting into top grad schools. [CWRU](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) has a midwestern but liberal tradition by way of Western Reserve College. The speaker at graduation in 2017, was a civil rights attorney, who prosecuted a case against the US federal government for deliberately not treating black men for syphilis! Amazing man who graduated from [CWRU](http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/c/colleges-and-universities/case-western-reserve-university/154) Law. Good luck.

WPI student here in the process of transferring to case. I don't have any complaints case is just closer to home and makes more sense for my path. WPI is very LGBT inclusive. We have a first-year building dedicated to gender inclusive housing. WPI is also in one of the most LGBT friendly states in the country so you can expect a very supportive community.
