Kent State University at Kent

At Kent I am able to challenge myself at whatever level I choose. Academically for my major, I learn a fair amount, and on top of that there are thousands of other courses I can take that are not mandatory, but just great learning experiences. With 25,000+ students, they offer mostly everything.

The major that I am in (Visual Communication Design) started me out right away in classes towards my degree! I'm only in my second semester and am actively learning many essential tools and concepts of design through three classes dedicated solely to the program. Not only are the major's classes very informative and interesting, but I have also learned a lot through my diversity and core courses. My experience is that in most courses you are not bogged down with busy work (although there is some of that), but rather actively learn through each class.

Kent State University is an overall great school to attend. Between the academics, learning facilities, overall campus environment, camaraderie among students, and possibilities for student involvement you get the best of every world. It is just a matter of whether you take advantage of the opportunities in front of you because Kent State provides them!

This is to my knowledge the only place in the country where one may obtain a Bachelor's in Translation. The program is fabulous, and languages available at this University are diverse: French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Swahili are all offered here. We're also known for our nursing program.

The Fashion Design program starts you in your major classes right away. In my four semesters here, I've never had less than three fashion classes a semester. And the professors are great, they've all been in, or are still working in the industry and will give you tips of things they've learned over the years. The class sizes are generally small, so there is a lot of one-on-one time with the professors. Most of them are genuinely concerned with you getting the most out of your education and are very accommodating, as long as you ask!

Even in many LER classes, the professors do their best to make the material fun and interesting and not so much busywork. While these classes can get a little big, many professors still make themselves readily available to help you get the most from their classes.

Kent State has a very inclusive and safe campus with a diverse and welcoming student body. People here tend to be polite and very accepting of others who have different ideas or faiths, and respect others. The education here is also excellent!

It's a taste of the city, middle of nowhere, and a small town all in one. I love the layout, and the student involvement is awesome. It's also close to some bigger cities, so there's loads to do.

I took courses at Kent State while I was in high school, under the Post Secondary Program. It was a great experience to be with amazing talented professors, who know their stuff. I learned a lot in those short 3 years, and I know I will learn a lot when I attend college in the Fall. Right now I have finished my first semester as an actual college student. I have definitely learned a lot, but to tell you the truth to learn as much as you can you have to also challenge yourself outside of classes.

The faculty and staff have so much to offer because majority of them all have some sort of background working in their specific field which helps you get a personal outlook on the materials you are learning.

If you are a student at Kent State University, how much effort you put into a class is reflected in your grade. There are no joke classes and every class will help you in the future. If a student studies for exams and reads the texts needed for each class, that student will learn from those classes.
