I've barley been here long but I love it! The staff and faculty are always there to support you and the professors are usually very understanding. Being on campus gives me a good understanding of life on your own and even though it's different than what I'm used to, Kent usually does well to make us students feel welcomed and less stressed. I couldn't have picked a better university to attend. I love attending Kent State University and I plan on attending graduate school here as well.
I love Kent State University. The moment I walked on campus it felt like home. It has a great "college town" feel and the town of Kent is the perfect size with a great home town feel. The student life at Kent State is superior due to their endless variety of clubs, and ways to get involved with the student body. The best part about Kent State is the price. It is affordable, and they offer many scholarships to all students, so you are assured less tuition. The athletics are great, and it is good to see diversity amongst students throughout the campus. The housing options are endless, providing you with many options to live with a group of roommates, with one single roommate, or by yourself. I always feel safe on campus due to the emergency features around the Kent State Campus. All in all, I love Kent State University and I would recommend it to anyone! It has a great college feel, and from the moment I walked in I met my forever friends and it's felt like home ever since!
As a first year student during a pandemic, utilizing a university to its fullest is going to be difficult. However, I lived on campus this semester and found plenty of things I loved about my school. I love the dining facility D.I. Dining hall, the REC center (with its mask and sanitization regulations), the scenic campus to work on, and the consistent reaching out of staff via email to be kept in the loop. I have thoroughly enjoyed the six professors I had this semester, and have had no issues communicating with any of them, or with my advisors. In fact, my academic advisor and I created a road map to what my personal next four years will look like academically, which was super helpful!
