Alum: My experience at Oberlin College was wonderful overall. Yes there were some bumps in the road socially and academically challenges but I wouldn't choose somewhere else if I could do my undergraduate over again. Key thing was having a community that looked like me and support me socially and culturally. I also built relationships with wonderful professors and staff that truly cared about me and my success because they were able to connect to each and every student, unlike giant public schools. While the party seen is pretty boring, the student life activities and events are great; there is always something happening on campus. And the natural areas around campus are gorgeous, especially in the fall.... Read 659 reviews

Freshman: 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.... Read 4,805 reviews

Senior: I am a returning student at The University of Akron. After earning an associate's degree in 2002, I joined the working world. After many, many years away from school, I decided to return for a bachelor's degree. I reached out to an advisor who was extremely helpful. She worked with me to make sure that all of my prior credit hours were applied to my new degree, and worked with me to create a school schedule that would accommodate my full time work schedule. She has been instrumental each semester to ensure that I stay on track to meet my graduation goals! Taking online classes has been much easier than one would expect. All of the professors and instructors are accessible through email, and will meet in person, or teleconference. Email responses are very quick. Everything has made returning to school so much better than I anticipated.... Read 2,930 reviews

Alum: I absolutely loved my time at Tri-C. It helped me find what I wanted to major in while exploring several interests. I am at a four year institution that is highly ranked nationally for my degree and I learned better insights at Tri-C than my four year college. While there’s no denying some things were whacky, the one thing I truly admired was all my professors genuinely cared about their students and wanted them to succeed. I am thankful for starting my college career here and would recommend it to anyone!... Read 1,129 reviews

Junior: I didn't know what I wanted to do yet, so I went for just General Science—I got my degree in the fall of 2022. Then I decided I wanted to go to the Respiratory Therapy Program. So, I am now going back for that! My previous degree took off some of my "core" classes and is making this degree a little easier! LOVE IT HERE!... Read 633 reviews

Sophomore: This school maintains their Catholic identity fairly well and has a great campus ministry. The classes vary in difficulty, but overall the education is good. Most classes are not online, but, I would make sure to ask if your classes will be online if you're planning on taking a small major. Game Development, for example, is almost completely online. Some classes that are listed on the website are offered vary rarely or never, so I would definitely recommend talking with the head of your major before committing to this school and asking about this. I usually like the food and the housing is fine. The school is expensive, however, there are lots of scholarship opportunities that can lower the price. The school is small enough that you can find great community and some great help from professors. The library is good and the campus looks nice. The neighborhood is safe. I like that the classes run on a quick 8-week term schedule, because you can focus on only a few classes at a time.... Read 523 reviews

Alum: My experience at Lakeland was like no other. I graduated from high school in 2020. I was planning on heading to Kent State when COVID came into play. I knew that going to Lakeland was a good decision, I just didn’t know how much it would impact me. Being mostly online for the past 2 years I still enjoyed every moment. One major thing that made my experience at Lakeland was having the chance to graduate with my aunt. During COVID she thought to herself and brought it to us, why not go back to school? Nobody had an answer to why she shouldn’t. So back to school she went. We actually had 2 classes together! One in person, one online. 2 years later, her and I were able to graduate together with our associate of arts degree and this is something that I will cherish forever. I couldn’t have done it without her by my side. She is one of my biggest supporters, my inspiration, and so much more. So thankful for such a great experience here at Lakeland, I will definitely miss it.... Read 427 reviews

Freshman: I am starting my ultrasound tech program in May at the Stautzenberger College Brecksville location, and they could not have been more helpful. All the staff are extremely friendly and easy to reach. They are so warm and welcoming, and value having a personal relationship with each student, which is very valuable to me. My advisor, Anne, has been absolutely awesome in making my enrollment process simple and easy to understand. I recommend checking this college out for anyone who likes a smaller school with a closer relationship with staff.... Read 32 reviews
