Hey Carson!
Oh man, picking a college is tough, especially when you're not sure what path you're taking yet. Around Cleveland, Case Western Reserve is kinda the go-to if you're aiming for something super academic—great for engineering, pre-med, and business. But if you’re looking for something more affordable and still solid, Cleveland State is right in the city and has a bunch of good programs. Kent State is another one people like, especially for things like journalism, fashion, or education.
Honestly, it really depends on what you’re into. Are you thinking big-name prestige, staying local, or just trying to figure it all out as you go? If you’re still figuring it out, that’s totally normal—most people don’t have it all mapped out yet. One way to narrow it down is to think about what kind of vibe you want. Do you want a big campus with tons of people or something smaller and more personal? Are you looking for a specific major, or do you want a school with a lot of options so you can explore?
Also, check out what kind of internships and job connections each school has—Cleveland State, for example, has a lot of ties to businesses in the city, while Case Western is big on research. Kent State has a solid campus life if you’re into a more traditional college experience.
If you're really stuck, visiting campuses (even virtually) can help a lot. Just walking around and getting a feel for a place sometimes makes the decision way clearer!
All the bets mate an dif you got furthur questions or something I missed just hit me on it....good a luck! 😏🤗

Hi Carson,
It's great news that you are considering your local options for post-high school education. Northeast Ohio has several great schools to consider
in Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs.
I urge you to make a list of majors you might be interested in, so you can investigate what each school offers that will match your desired area of study. Below are 3
Options for you to consider.
Tri- c
Although Tri-C is not a university it is a good choice for starting your college career. Tri-c Has a variety of programs to suit many interests. You can earn an associate's degree, or a bachelor's in some new programs. Another plus is the ability to transfer your credits to a university. It’s worth considering taking advantage of tric-c’s close distance as a commuter student and lower priced tuition than many universities. I took some classes here years ago and found it helped me to transfer from one university to another.
CSU
I don’t have personal experience with CSU, but know of coworkers and family members that enjoyed their learning experience in this downtown Cleveland institution. CSU also has a variety of programs that suit many interests. With CSU, you can live in downtown housing options, or commute from one of the nearby suburbs.
Baldwin Wallace
Found in the suburb of Berea, Baldwin Wallace is 15-20 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Berea itself has a college-town feel. Business, performing arts and healthcare are popular at this school, but it hosts a variety of majors to choose from.
Two more schools to note outside of Cleveland are the University of Akron and Kent State University. Both are popular choices, and students that graduate from the schools seem to enjoy their experience and receive a good education.
Best of luck as you make your decision!
