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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Though Kent's campus is large, you can always find some place for yourself, and with friends, you don't feel as though the school is quite so huge. The campus has lots of open space to hang out, and there are always people out and about. Between activities going on and clubs and organizations, the options are endless!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The tuition and room and board aren't too terrible, but being a Fashion Design major, there are definitely a ton of added costs. You'll constantly be buying fabric, markers, and various other supplies, and that gets to be a bit much. But the Fashion school is third in the country and thirteenth in the world, so it does pay off.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved! There are so many options- clubs, student organizations, volunteer opportunities. There are loads of things going on all over campus all the time as well.
And make sure you realize what Ohio weather is like! Lots of rain and snow, but on nice days, the campus is gorgeous.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Kent has the third best fashion school in the country, and also is big in visual communications, architecture, and nursing.
