The Summer Experience encompasses the residential community of CWRU students who are living on-campus for any portion of the summer. This unique community brings students together from all walks of life.

1609 Hazel is a residential facility owned by the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) and managed by the same group that oversees Case Western Reserve's Triangle Towers and Property Management Apartments. Learn More Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ the floor plans, layout, and costs of Hazel Apartments.

Community Size: CWRU undergraduates occupy the 4th & 5th floors, while Cleveland Institute of Music residents live on the 2nd & 3rd floors. Hazel includes 2-bedroom single occupancy apartments, 2-bedroom double occupancy apartments, 4-bedroom apartments, and studio apartments, accommodating approximately 114 upperclass CWRU students.

Physical Space: Due to the joint nature of this complex, CWRU residents experience some differences compared to CWRU residential facilities. The music rooms of Hazel (as well as the surrounding parking lot) are for the exclusive use of CIM residents. CWRU residents should expect to use Lot 46, near the Village at 115. Hazel uses a card access system that is different, with CWRU residents issued a key fob to enter the building, elevator, their apartment, and their personal bedroom.

Community Features: Other services remain the same for CWRU students. CWRU residents' packages and mail will be delivered to the NRV Area Office in Wade Commons. Maintenance and Custodial issues will be handled by the Office of Facilities Services and residents will be able to use  to submit maintenance and custodial requests.
