I haven't been to Kent yet, but my undergraduate school I went to Southeastern University in Florida and I would say.... It is like living in an endless summer camp with buildings that make you feel like you are in Italy. Our chapels (Christian school), always consisted of weird games and challenges and people being very loud. It was just a big fun time where everybody knew everybody and people could lay on hammocks everywhere.

All the time, friends from home and family ask me how college is going. It's one of those questions that have an automatic response like, "It's going good" but, when I respond it's much more than that. Kent State really makes it a very enjoyable place to receive your education. Every staff member here from professors to cooks, really enjoy their job and are always friendly. It makes it feel more welcoming and comfortable everyday.

Caitlyn

Funny as this is, at Kent State we are really proud of our Black Squirrels. We happen to have the largest population of black squirrels. While you can occasionally find black squirrels in different areas, we have A LOT of them. Everytime you leave a building you can guarantee that there will be at least 10 squirrels waiting outside for you. They are our "unofficial" mascot.
