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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Be yourself
- Volunteer
- Study (seriously!)
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
They seem to have any level of challenging to moderate classes. The Honors College really ups the ante, too, while maintaining interest.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Each dorm does activities together, sometimes as floors, sometimes as a building. Only a couple halls have air conditioning, but a fan and opening the windows are just about as good.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is delicious, the dining staff is pleasant, and they have many job opportunities with great reviews.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's a ton of stuff. They have concerts, speakers, their orchestra and theatre groups also perform. In addition, Cleveland is only 45 minutes away - and there's a bus! There's also a lot of group stuff going on on the weekends. Sports are a big thing, too, and they have 280+ clubs/organisations. If you're bored, it's because you're trying to be.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For me, this is where I'll get a quality education for a reasonable price. It's got the programmes I'm looking for, with the amount of rigor and stuff to do. I'm majouring in Visual Communication Design (their graphic design majour). I'm also in the Honours College. I've had people in both industries tell me that Kent is where it's at. An art professor at The Ohio State University told me that Kent has a wonderful art programme, and my aunt, an administrator for Dublin City Schools has had several colleagues say that Kent was a good choice for an education majour.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Some things I thought were neat:
-There's a bowling alley.
-There are call boxes where you can call and ask someone to walk you somewhere. Ex: from the library to your dorm, etc.
-They have a ton of stuff to do.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students looking for a bit of anonymity, while still getting attention and help; students willing to work.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There's a ton. I plan to check out Glyphx and The Tannery, the student graphic design firm/marketing firm on campus.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They have a fairly limited amount of Fraternities and Sororities. My mom and grandmother were surprised at some of the more popular ones that weren't available at Kent.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
You see campus police often, they have call boxes for extra help if you need it, and the campus itself is set apart from the rest of the town. I felt very safe walking around, even at night. The police mean business, and the discipline system seems pretty fair.
