One of the best things about Akron is the size of campus. Overall the campus has many buildings and features which makes it feel like a large university. On the flip side, a walk across campus only takes 5-15 minutes depending on which direction is being traveled.This compact layout mixes the best of large universities with community schools. School pride is something that has grown since I have been a student but would be nice to see evolve. Akron's soccer team won the national title in recent...

Overall, the University of Akron is a great school. I love meeting new people and getting to know them. I feel like my school is just right. It's not too big or too small. It definitely feels like home. I usually spend my time in Library or in my dorm. There is a LOT of school pride. Akron has done a great job this year athletic wise.

I initially did not want to attend The University of Akron, but it was what my family could afford. With that being said, it was a real eye-opener when I ended up really enjoying going here. I expected it to be just like high school because that is what most people said about it, but I really enjoy it, and it is not exactly like high school. It is in a city, and I really like that because I like being around lots of people instead of secluded in the country where you do not see as many people....

I enjoy being here at The University of Akron emensily. There are so many ways of meeting new people and new experiences through their numerous clubs and activities that are constantly taking part in new various activities both on and off campus. Another thing I really like about Akron is our sports teams and the fans. Soccer is a big sport here at Akron because we have a great team. But not only do we have great athletes but we have great fans; no matter what the weather try are there to cheer...

The administration at the University of Akron Main Campus are helpful and care about the students who attend. Administration goes out of their way to make students feel at home, I am grateful to attend a school where employees make students feel like they matter!

I love U of Akron. It's really science focused, which is why I decided to come here. Plus, it's a very good amount and quality of schooling for the money. There's always something for you to do around campus, with sporting events, movie nights, performances at EJ Hall, and tons of other activities. There's definitely a lot of pride about our school that many others don't have!

Best thing about the school is the dorms. One thing I would change is the on campus dining. My school is just the right size. When I tell people I go th The University of Akron they usually say that school is ghetto. On campus im usually in the polsky building. Thats were most of my classes are. Akron is not a college town, but it continues to grow. Overall, I think the administation is great. The recent controversy on campus was Jim Tressel is now the Vice President of Strategic...

UA is an excellent school. Our men's soccer team have been the national champions for the past couple of years, and many of our students have even followed them to the championship game in California. Akron is a pretty standard college town. If you look hard enough, you'll find a party. If you don't want to party, you don't have to. UA is just the right size; it only takes about fifteen minutes to walk from the furthest point on either end of the campus to the other.

My opinion of the University of Akron The University of Akron can be summed up in one word, big. It is a huge campus and can be a hassle to traverse at times. With careful consideration on when and where to park however, it gets quite a bit easier.

Overall Opinion My overall opinion of my school is a great one. I love everything about it! I chose it for my major's highly regarded program and I do not regret the decision one bit. The student life is very involving, on and off campus. Everyone here has tremendous school spirit and I'm sure they love it here as much as I do.
