With my friends back home, the major area of conversation is being in Greek Life. I never thought I would join a fraternity after the stories my uncle told us growing up. (They included sleeping through graduation because of a hangover) Kent State University changed my mind though. The campus has an extremely large and involved Greek community. Between the numerous fundraisers for national foundations and the various events we throw for the local community, becoming "Greek" really means giving back more than you ever thought possible.

Joseph

When I talk about my school I take pride in its academic ranking. In the past Kent State's education has been undermined and looked at as poor, however their ranking has recently gone up and is now ranked as one of the top 200 colleges in the world. We have highly ranked programs in fashion, psychology, the health field, communications and journalism, and others. Kent is considered a low cost college and I take pride in paying less than I would at most other schools for a top ranked education.

Jamie

I brag about many things. Kent State is an awesome school. You can major in anything you want and Kent is probably recognized for the program or if it has no recognition, the program is a very good one. Many of the professors are Kent are willing to help you. They want to work for you because in reality they do since we the students are paying for our education. The professors are always welcome for questioning or one on ones. I find that to be great and useful, so I brag about it.

How fast the school is improving its programs and reputation.

I tell my friends and family how much I love the diversity and respect that each student has for one another. I believe in order to have a good working/learning environment everyone needs to get along and be there for help and support.

Katie

I aapreciate the diversity at Kent State. I have walked in the Student Center before and heard conversations going on in four different languages! I enjoy meeting friends who are from other countries and who also think differently than I do.

Kristi

I brag about how fun it is to live on campus. There are always events happening and most are free. For example, we get to watch popular movies before they go to DVD for free! Kent has many events where the purpose is meeting people and making friends. I think it's hard to not make friends there. We also have a wonderful rec center. Inside, there are other alternatives than strictly working out. There is a Wii, a hot tub, and places to play dodgeball. Kent is a lovely campus interspersed with nature.

Thaddeus

I always brag to my friends about the student life at Kent, and how there always seems to be something to do. Whether it's on campus in the student center or at Eastway, or if it's off campus (everything to do is within a short distance from campus) you can always find something to entertain yourself whether you're bored on a weeknight or need something to do on the weekends. I never find myself bored at Kent State.

shane

Architecture and how many amazing ideas, designs, concepts, and structures are around this world. The campus is extremely nice and clean. The whole enviornment is very exciting and busy. I am currently in the study abroad program studing Architecture in Florence Italy and it is really amazing. I would suggest to anyone intrested in traveling to travel with their school. It is an awsome experience and will be remembered for the rest of my life.

Amanda

I think the most exciting thing about KSU is how relaxed everything is here. I enjoy the quiet and I also like the fact that the people here will hold open the doors for you. Everyone is open minded and friendly.

Paul

I am an art major and feel that our Printmaking department is bar-none the best around. The facilities are top-notch, and the Instructors and student staff are so helpful; and I count many friends among them.

Jennifer

I brag about how we are the second largest school in Ohio, yet it feels like it's a small and close community. Also, Kent State has the largest Hearing Aid Museum.

Kimberlee

There is not one specific thing I brag about when it comes to my school. I truly believe Kent State University has so much to offer to its students, both academically and socially. They offer over two hundred student organizations, they have great professors, an amazing library, wonderful dining options, and high quality residence halls that become your home away from home. All around, Kent has it all.

Porsche

I brag the most about the meal plan. The meal plan is nice because it can be used to go grocery shopping at the campus shops in the dorm halls as well as the food places. We have so many food choices, you are not restricted to a couple things, there are a variety. It is hard to choose what to eat sometimes because of all the choices.

Kara

How it is some what cost effective to live at home and attend a real univesity at the same time. Its a very active campus there is always something to do and they have been making alot of changes to KSU lately. Its close and convienent for me and thats what I like about it.

Michelle

I am currently pursing my Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Merchandising and as a Fashion student I often find myself bragging about the success of Kent State’s Fashion School & Program. Both the school and program provides helpful resource and devotes much time and effort to place students with career based internships and also career jobs

Karen

I am a non-traditional student that is always asked how the students treat me. These are the best students ever. I have yet to have one treat me with less than the utmost respect. I am also surprised at how I am included as one of the group and not an outcast because of my age. This college has high quality professors that care about our success as students. All university personnel make sure needs are met. There is assistance in areas like technology, library, and tutoring. Our dollars are well spent.

Erin

If I could describe Kent State University in one word, I would say it is diverse. You are constantly exposed to a number of people, activities, traditions, religions etc. I spread the awareness of how much Kent has to offer and how it truly makes a difference in your life. I understand that each college has different things to offer, but I find that Kent is special in its own way, especially because of the May 4th shootings. We come together as a community on that historic day and remember the lives that have been taken. Truly a blessing.

Taneisha

The people. Most people that I come across are very welcoming. That's not something that you find everywhere. Before college, I felt like the world operated on cliques! But here, anyone can hang with everyone.

Kristen

I brag most about the nursing program because it is one of the best in ohio, and i was just recently admitted into it.

Alicia

It has one of the best Nursing Colleges in the nation.

Elizabeth

I do not have anything to brag about this school to anyone, the architecture is ugly and reminds me of jails, the upkeep of the buildings is awful and dated, the art building is the worst, the roof leaks all over the building, the student center is hard to navigate . The sports stadium is about a mile away from campus. I really hate being on campus, and I think about transferring all the time.

Donna

We get to use our meal plans as much as we want until we run out. We don't have limted places to use our meal plans or how many times a day we can use them.

Molly

I tell my friends about how great Kent State's business and education programs are, which are both interests of mine.

Kristen

That Kent State has amazing Pre- Medicine and Nursing programs.

Katie

The atmosphere in Kent, I love it. Just being in Kent puts me in a good mood.

Raquel

I brag about several things really. Most of all, I am excited about the interior design program I am in. It's a constant challenge but I know I am learning the things I am going to need in the future to become a great designer. It is a lot of work, but I know I will graduate with the experience that employers want to see and I'll have an excelllent portfolio to show to get a good job.

Letisha

I am proud that I will have a degree that will be respected by those in the design industry. It is verey hard work but I am proud to say I have been successful in the program I am in. I also love the alternative learning experiences. I have been able to be a part of multiple field trips, guest speakers, research projects and hands on experiences. The administration are very helpful and willing to get involved.

Katie

I brag mostly about how difficult the major is and how proud I am for completing 3 semesters with a strong GPA. The Interior Design students are graded on a much harder scale, so to achieve a 3.70 is a great achievement for myself.

Kenneth

I brag most about my academic and athletic accomplishments from high school and the summer.

Lauren

All the people I was able to meet and how much I love the Fashion Design program at my school. Although it is really intense, I have learned so much and have so many available resources.

Cara

When I brag about my school the topic is usually about the academic aspect of Kent State. Usually I talk about how experienced the professors are here. I like comparing Kent State's staff to other school's. Usually I find that the professors at Kent are much more experienced and academically challenging than those of other colleges.

Melanie

Actually, I've been gone so long, I don't really brag about Kent anymore. It wasn't very far away from home, but it was far enough that it gave me some autonomy. I met great friends there who are still my friends. Classes were challenging and some were very stimulating. Of course Kent is very controversial due to the slayings in the 70's. I started there a few months after that event. I also taught the child whose father organizes each year's memory events from that time.
