Kent State University Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 4,807 reviews
Kent State is an amazing school! They have great club academics and athletics that really cater to anyone's needs or dreams. As a poly science student I have an overwhelming amount of resources that help me in my studies, networking and making myself a better person. At first I had doubt about Kent State due to it living in the shadow of Ohio State University (I live in central Ohio near Columbus for reference.) But I was so wrong. The only thing I will say is that compared to urban universities it lack things to do BUT Kent is considered a suburban area school so for what it is it goes above my expectations overall. If your into off campus parties Kent has a great Greek Life in place and there parties are great. Like a slightly watered down version of Ohio University at Athens frat party.
I transferred to the university as a second semester sophomore. The academic advisors and Student Accessibility Services (SAS) team were super helpful! Overall I had amazing professors who would put in extra office hours to accommodate my busy schedule, explain things in different ways fro students by giving real life examples, constantly stopping during lectures to make sure we understand the material being presented, worked with me when I had accommodations and when they didn't work the first time, and answer my emails very quickly.
The students and general university community are very accepting, down to earth, and genuine. I felt right at home when walking around campus even my first week after transferring!

Kent State University offers many opportunities, not only for growth, but to help you succeed in every aspect of life. They offer mental health help, mock interviews, accessibility services, and so much more! With every month I learn of a new resource they offer, not even mentioning the beautiful campus and all of the helpful professors. Everyone here wants to see us succeed and have a good time while we reach for our goals. My experience here started of negative, I knew no one and wanted to drop out and leave, but as time went on and I made friends with my peers I am so glad I decided to stay and grow my education at Kent State.
