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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I LOVE Kent. I live on campus for my third year, and next year I will be in a house. Although the first year living experience isn't amazing, know there are 4,000+ freshmen each year, and they all need somewhere to live! Being on campus and near by, I always have something to do. The greek system contours to whatever you are looking for, socially, academically, or honors societies. Beyond that are plenty of community service groups, and your normal society organizations such as the nearby Masonic Temple and our three local Kiwanis clubs (involved in both). When you get here, make sure you check out our 200+ student organizations. I looked at Kent and Akron, and Kent gives me a home. A place to live, thrive, and be. From schooling to learning, I have everything within a fifteen minute walk.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Kent State is one of the best schools for the money. Tuition is SO low, that many people from Pennsylvania come here because of how good the education is, and the OUT OF STATE costs are cheaper than in state costs in their own state! Leading the way in many fields, having exceptional programming all around, and offering so many diverse fields, Kent State is one the best schools within the country, nationally ranking.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-Apply for scholarships! If you don't ask, you may not have it suggested. Unfortunately I wasn't told about everything that was available, nor did I ask, and I missed out. If you ask, you find everything that you can take advantage of.
-Check out different classes. Feel free to explore Kent's diverse programming options, from anthropology to zoology, and everything in between.
-Get active! Kent has hundreds of student organizations, and you can get involved in anything from fencing, to hookah clubs, to card games and volunteering.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Active. If you come to Kent, you can sit in your room and do nothing. But I suggest Kent if you want to get out and socialize, get out and volunteer, and get the best education you can. At Kent, you can slip by and just sneak through college...but at Kent, you can challenge yourself and make the most of all of your potential.
