You do not need a campus consulting club to find good case partners. Look at school-wide career groups, nearby universities, alumni, online case-practice communities and classmates who are also recruiting for strategy roles.

Consistency matters more than finding someone with the perfect background. A good partner shows up, gives specific feedback and is willing to repeat practice rather than only trading case prompts.

Do one trial case before committing to a regular schedule. Check whether the feedback is useful and whether your preparation levels are close enough for both people to improve.

Do one trial case before committing to a recurring schedule. Look for a partner who is reliable, gives specific feedback and is close enough to your level that both people improve. After each session, exchange one or two written feedback points so the partnership becomes cumulative rather than a series of disconnected mock cases.

I would rather have two partners who give specific feedback than a giant chat where nobody responds.

How can you tell after one mock whether someone is a good long-term case partner?

Would you stick with the same two or three people once you find a good fit?
