Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I am going to be completely honest with this one; the food choices. I have never been given the chance (being a freshman) to have the choice to eat whatever I want, and have whatever I am in the mood for.

The other thing that makes it unique is the 24 hour library, and the chance to have tutors help you out whenever you want! Definitely gives you the chance to succeed!
