I really like Akron a LOT! I couldn't have asked for a better first semester here. I have incredible teachers and friends. There is also SO MUCH to do!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't get distracted by all the activities and fun stuff on campus. Parties aren't everything! Success is more easily attainable when you do the work now, then play later.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
My teachers were excellent and really worked with us to make sure we knew the material. I did not have a crazy amount of homework.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I don't stay in a dorm, however I have friends that do. Talk to your RA if you have any issues that can't be resolved one on one with your roommate. They seem to be really great about finding solutions.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is good. I will say that the dining hall (Rob's) is the best on days when they do tours on campus. So go those days!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is so much to do! There is also always free stuff being given away!
Join the LGBT club because we love and accept everyone here.
There are always activities being hosted by various clubs. The new president of the college plays basketball with students like once a week, so that's pretty cool. Football games are a blast! I LOVE the band! I also love that we have a million Starbucks on campus. There are also lots of fun things to do off campus like clubs, restaurants, and hookah lounges. There's a bowling alley in the student union!
The rec center is great!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There's literally so much free stuff and activities to do.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The police will escort you/drive you back to your car/dorm, no questions asked! There is also a shuttle that transports you around. There are emergency phones all over campus. I feel VERY safe on campus.
