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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
If you come to Kent State understanding that this is a small town, you will know to find ways to amuse yourself. We have a quaint and pleasant downtown area. There's a hookah bar, several bars, a rockin' hair salon called Skullz, and more! However if you want to go to big concerts and check out museums, Cleveland is the place to go. Luckily, it's only about 45 minutes away.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Sometimes it's difficult to ensure that you get all of the financial aid you need, but the fin. aid office is full of friendly people, and sometimes there are department scholarships available. The quality of education is surprisingly good, although it goes up when you join the honors college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would recommend that you join the Facebook mentorship program, so that you will be in touch with somebody who will gladly show you around the campus and town. Be prompt and professional, especially when you first meet your professors. In terms of social etiquette it's always better to be safe than sorry! Also, it's not a bad idea to carry pepper spray around campus. I'm not saying people die around here, but robberies to happen somewhat frequently.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
-Foreign Language
-Physics
-Nursing
-Journalism
Note also that social activists will find student organizations that will suit their needs. There's a fairly strong Christian presence, but not one that's pushy. There are a lot of smokers at Kent State, so if walking past smokers makes you nauseous-- you probably wouldn't like it here.
