Robert

The best thing about Kent State is the study abroad opportunites. Fashion students can study in NYC, London, Paris, Florence, and Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to study in NYC and had an amazing experience. Classes are taught by industry professionals and I made numerous contacts. Living and working in the city was an experience that I could have only had by attending Kent State.

The best thing about Kent is the atmosphere that you feel as soon as you step on campus. When you look around, you see students walking around or playing on the beautiful green grass, it is truely an amazing feeling. I get a wonderful feeling just from being on campus, seeing everyone having fun and interacting with one another. Whether it's a game of volleyball, basketball, football or even altimate frisbee, there's always something to do on the Kent Campus.

patricia

The best thing about my shool is the fact that there is many campuses to take classes through. So therefore when I moved I was still able to attend college. I also love the fact that there are many classes to take online. When I was pregnant I was able to still attend school and be a mother with online classes. Another good thing Is that most college classes transfer to that school from other schools. So I was able to take classes at another school closer to my home and still get credit twards my degree.

The best thing about Kent State University is the feeling I get while being on campus. With the combination of professors, students, and the stature of the buildings, the campus feels like home to me. I feel welcome to go anywhere on campus to do any of my schoolwork. I also feel welcome to just go anywhere on campus and enjoy the view of campus.

John

The culture. Kent State University has a wonderful culture around campus, people are generally friendly and will stop to talk to you if you ask them something. There are also a huge amount of exchange students on campus, which gives the school a great deal of cultural diversity.

Marie

The best thing about Kent State is the diversity of opportunities on campus. There is something for absolutely everyone in both an academic and social aspect. The majors range from basket weaving to medicine. The clubs range from rugby to knitting and there is never a time when some sort of event is not going on. Kent is the perfect place to grow as an informed, diverse individual and to find a home away from home.

The thing I consider best about my college is the cultural diversity. We have many students from various places all over the world and its amazing that we can interact together like this. It really promotes cultural and religious awareness and makes language learning a blast!

Lauren

The best thing about Kent State University is the faculty. Between the professors, academic advisors, financial aid advisors and general faculty members, it is really hard to find one that is not friendly and willing to help you with anything you might need. They give great advice and care about each students' needs. I highly recommend this school because of the wonderful faculty.

destiny

I think the best thing about Kent State University is the way they challenge me for my major. They make it very competitive, this is good and bad, good in the way that it makes you work harder bad in the way that it makes everything more stressful.

Jacob

The close proxmity of all of the buildings makes getting to class easy and effecient (especially for multiple classes for the same major) While I have not used them, the tutoring and supplemental instruction options offered are supposedly very helpful, and they are offered for many courses across a multitude of majors.

Jeanette

I think that the best thing about this school is the staff. Since i have been here they have been very friendly and have helped me succeed.

Kendahl

The diversity of the different degrees students can persue while attending.

Nicole

The best thing about Kent State University is the diversity. I have met so many people from different parts of this country and even from different countries. Many of my very close friends are from other countries and it is very interesting to hear about them and the differences between their lives back home versus my life hear.

Elizabeth

The best thing about my school is the atmosphere. Here at Kent, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The campus is beautiful and everything that the "Ideal College" would look like. Everywhere you look are grassy green lawns, students being social, and black squirrels playing tag with each other. Kent is an amazing little town and the people and campus leave you feeling involved and wanted.

Krystal

I appreciate my professors' compassion for the subject they teach. I also benefit from the Regional Campuses available, along with the smaller tuition rate.

Tabitha

The best thing about Kent State is that you get a quality education and all of the benefits of attending a great college but it is located in a friendly, safe area. The university offers a lot of activities for students. The professors are knowledgable in their field and want students to succeed. The main campus is safe and easy to get around. It doesn't matter if you are a student right out of high school or an adult student trying to further your education, you are treated with respect and your education and safety is the first priority.

Kori

The programs that they offer! Because they have something for everyone!

Jennifer

I went to school in 2005-2007 and then got married and now decided to go back to school to finish my degree. The best thing is that everyone on campus is so happy and helpful. If they cant help you get where you need to be they will get someone who will. The campus is beautiful and has a great atmosphere.

Dadisi

The best part is that not many people can say that there a golden flash. I haven’t started yet but from my visits I know it’s the perfect place for me. Everybody is full of positivity we seem to have faculty who really care, and wish to make your experience the best that it can be. No other school has made me feel more at home then at Kent State University. Most students go to other Kent campuses but there truly isn’t another like the main campus and I’m extremely excited to be attending this fall.

Kailey

I consider the uniqueness and artisticness one of the best things about my school. Everyone is accepting and supportive. They dress and act how they want and are creative in different ways.

Paula

The best thing I considered about my school is that I know Kent State University offers me the chance to earn my PhD.

Adam

Lindsay

I really like how everyone is so proud of the school they are attending. I love it because I am attending it for the program Interior design, and they are an AWESOME school for that. Everyone is usually very happy rather than sad or depressed.

Stephanie

The diverse population of students is definitely a positive of KSU. I have met so many unique people and really enjoying learning about their lifestyle. Kent is a very active campus and there are many opportunities for students to take part in campus and community activities. The campus is absolutely beautiful and I enjoy walking to my classes because I get to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Brooke

The best thing about Kent State University is that I am free to talk about my religion because I am so into my religion I love that I can freely talk about my religion.

Michelle

There are many great things about the University of Kent State. One thing that made my school year this past year was being on my hall council. I was worried at first that I would not get the position I wanted, but once I talked to everyone and saw how friendly everyone was, I was happy to have signed up. I met many new friends while on hall council which will in my opinion last a lifetime. Another reason is because I have gained much more leadership experience for my future.

Brittany

The best thing about Kent State is the opportunities that they offer to students. When I speak with faculty members, I feel that they are preparing me for the future in a positive way. At Kent State, I feel that my goals are not far from reach and their quality of education will prepare me the best for a future in photojournalism after I graduate.

Wesley

That best thing about Kent State is that it helps you find who you are as a individual. It also helps perpare you for the real world given that there's hundreds of free resources avaiable for each student and there personal/academic goals and interest.

Jacqueline

I believe the best thing about Kent State University is that the employees of the University do their best to help you become involved with your community and get to know new people. They don't force anyone into anything but they make it known about the privlidges about becoming involved. Whether it's from extra curricular, study groups, counseling help or game nights their is always something to do on campus and their are employees letting you know about what one can do and they are there putting the activities to work, making them successful.

Kathy

I think the amount of things you can become involved in is the best aspect. I love that it is so easy to become involved in activities and are welcomed.

Thayer

Honestly, I can't say I have many good things to say about Kent. Don't get me wrong i'm lucky to be able to pursue an education, but I feel I could be so much more successful somewhere else. If I had to name one good thing about Kent it would be the dining plan. I know it sounds weird but honestly it's vey fair and doesn't take advantage of students and their money like some schools do. If you buy something that costs $1.89 that's what you pay. No tricks or surprises.

Taylor

Taylor

The Kent State campus is very large, but it's also very nice. It's an outside campus, which means that during the summer it can be extremely beautiful, but during the winter you can get pretty cold walking to classes. Probably the most well known thing about Kent State would be our tiny little "mascots" - the black squirrels. These little creatures were said to have been brought in years ago for an experiment, and now students can see them daily as they walk to classes.

Jacob

I think the best thing about Kent State University is the diversity. Coming to Kent State, I did not know what to expect and when I got here, I met people from all over the United States and some from other parts of the world. I did not think that people from all over the country would come to Kent State but they do and I think the diversity gives Kent State something a lot of other schools don't get to have.

Aimee

I believe that the best things at my school is the fact that it's diverse. We get the chance to learn about different backgrounds and cultures and are able to see how all of it relates to ourselves.

MaryCatherine

I consider the environment the best thing about Kent State. It is well-kept, for the most part, and offers many opportunities to get involved, whether it be sports, extracurriculars, or Greek life. While it has this good environment, there are always classes going on, and it has an air of professionalism as well. There are places to study and places to relax. There are free movie screenings, comedy nights, and so much more going on every day. Kent State has a fun, relaxed, yet still professional, environment.

Sarah

The best thing about Kent State University is that it is a medium sized university in a small town. It is also safe, and I am never afraid to walk around the campus alone at night. Also, the academic advisors are very helpful in keeping you on track to graduating on time.

Emily

The best thing about Kent State University is that they truly care about their students. Although there is such a large number of people that attend KSU it really feels like every single person gets the attention they need to succeed. I have not taken a bad class, or met any employees of this school that I did not enjoy.

Nicholas

The faculty is amazing, there are there all the time for consultation and can help you in anyhting. They are knowledgable in their area of expertise and are great to know and talk to.

Minu

I, myself being an international student, I feel very proud that my school holds more than 1000 international students. My school organizes lots of programs for international srudents to make us feel home here in the school. My school comes up with many ideas to make this place better and welcoming to students from other countries. They have many organizations within the school where international students can be a member and meet with other students. These organization also provides mentors for international students to develop their english speaking and writing skills and just to have some one to talk to.

Gina

I think the intellectual atmosphere one gets from attending such a liberal and understanding university is the best thing at Kent State University. From the hardships came a deeper love and understanding for their students and faculty alike. Those there love what they do and where they are, and it shows!
