Pros: Nice people, good layout.
Cons: The stairs! The stairs! Oh the humanity!
Summary: Well, for those of you who follow my little story (and I’m sure this amount numbers something slightly lower than the number of Los Angeles houses that don’t have to deal with any smog), I am finally going to college. I have worked my way through years ... read more

Pros: Great Dorms
Cons: Harder to meet people
Summary: Starting out as a freshman in Centennial Hall worked well for me. The dorm room was the best I had seen at any college. It was large enough for 2 people and a futon. You are provided with a small refrig and microwave. Each room has it's own private ... read more

Pros: Very solid education with varying strengths; gorgeous campus; outstanding campus life
Cons: Low prestige factor; hard to root for athletics
Summary: College is about much more than studying selected subjects that you may or may not use in your career(s) someday. The true college experience is that of personal growth. The ideal setting for this is a diverse student body with a solid liberal arts ... read more

Pros: The dedicated Deans,Faculty and Staff, opportunities
Cons: The tired, well entrenched, out of touch Upper Level Administration
Summary: The most exciting thing about any college experience is the chance to challenge yourself based on your own merit. Kent State University provides the framework to do just that. As I was always taught, life only offers the bounty from those seeds you ... read more

Pros: Friendly students; nice and safe campus
Cons: Academics
Summary: Frankly, I think my education at Kent State left something to be desired! I majored in Computer Information Systems, yet only about 15% of my classes actually dealt with computers. A great deal of my classes were "LER" (Liberal Education ... read more

Pros: inexpensive, excellent physical campus
Cons: too large unless part of Honors program
Summary: I attended KSU from 1988-1992 on a National Merit Scholarship from the Honors College. While Kent was not my first choice, in the end the Honors College experience gave me a "small college" feel at a large school, for a reasonable price. The ... read more

Pros: size, quality, many majors, liberal arts, nationally recognized
Cons: not all senior level and masters level classes available on this regional campus
Summary: I am currently enrolled at Kent State Stark Brach, which offers a wide variety of classes in liberal arts. The tuition is very economical. The students are friendly and helpful. The professors that I have met are both knowledgeable and friendly. ... read more

Pros: Supportive, not too big, not too small, safe.
Cons: Big enough to have a bureaucracy.
Summary: When I was choosing a college my parents and I traveled to at least a dozen universities in Ohio to check them our and I disliked every one. But that summer, my sister happened to be doing some graduate work at Kent and invited me to stay with her in ... read more

Pros: Beautiful and quiet
Cons: Far away from just about everything.
Summary: I lived in Engleman Hall for four years and was the interhall council rep for three. It's a beautiful, ivy covered building nestled into a hill, which makes it easy to miss altogether. When I was KIC (Kent Interhall Council) rep I often found myself ... read more

Pros: It is a great way to be introduced to vintage films and some of the newer ones.
Cons: Only a few people can agree on anything
Summary: Even though James Brundage has been the bane of the International Film Society I am forced to agree with him. I am a co-president of the organization and I absolutely love it. Sure it has a few small battles between its members but I guess that the fun ... read more

Pros: They do have a few good programs and they do their best to cater to the students.
Cons: I don't think that they want anyone to graduate.
Summary: Granted I do attend here but I don't think I will any more. I fear that there are too many conspiracies surrounding Kent State University.
First off there is the "Imagine" campaign: Within the two weeks surrounding Kent's new ... read more

Pros: Good selection of films, getting in free to the movies, the option to help select films.
Cons: Sometimes the IFS will have a few arguments.
Summary: I have been what I call a perpetual townie. I was a townie at UNC. I was a townie at Princeton. I was a townie at a branch campus of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and now I am a townie at Kent State University… or rather was. As of about ... read more

Summary: I'm currently a senior history major at KSU with a minor of Computer Information Systems. If I was not graduating so soon I would transfer. When I schedauled to take my upper-division computer classes (the classes where you get most of your experience) I ... read more

Pros: Its close to home...
Cons: Bus system, the wind tunnel ALL year round, the cost of food up here, the walk in the winter-time (about a mile across campus or so)
Summary: The main reason I am attending Kent State University is merely because it is close to home, and it has a "really good business program". That's what my family and I were told. To tell you the truth, the school isnt all that wonderful. I don't ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: people, roommates
Summary: From my own personal experience i can tell you that Kent state dorm life is not all it's cracked up to be. I lived in what they called 'small group'. The people there were very unfriendly and they did not offer half of the student help that they said ... read more

Pros: in a very good spot if you are looking for a fine art major
Cons: can't really tell why it's the "art dorm" if you just look at it
Summary: Verder Hall is supposedly the dorm for fine arts students (everyone from a general major in fine arts to architecture to painting 101). However, when you enter it, you don't see any artistry or any kind. I'm not even sure why it's considered the art ... read more

Pros: friendly atmosphere, nicely-sized campus
Cons: lack of parking spaces, the weather at times
Summary: Kent State seems to be a HUGE campus at first as a Freshman (as I still
am now) but after a month it seems to shrink in size. There are a few
cafeterias spread around campus, so those who live in dorms in one area
won't need to walk all ... read more

Pros: Great professors that are willing to help! Nice student center and library.
Cons: Long walks between some locations. Parking services gives too many tickets!!
Summary: I attended Kent state for my Master's in Accounting, and I chose to stay there to get my PhD in Accounting. The professors at Kent are excellent, especially in some cases. They are really willing to put in effort to help the students. The
