Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is how easily it is to get lost for new freshmen. I say this because the campus is fairly large.

The worst thing about my school is the amount of snow that comes during the winter. The campus is absolutely beautiful throughout spring and fall but after the third week of winter the cold weather and snow gets old. Even worse, they have an entire fleet of mini-bulldozer type snow plows they use to clear the pathways. Don't be mistaken, you will not get a lucky day off unless there is at least 6 inches of snow on the ground and it started late in the night.

The lack of financial aid for caucasian males that also maintain a fulltime job but it may well be the same for all schools.

I worry sometimes about the security on campus. Violent crimes occasionally happen (almost always mugging or theft), but security on campus seems more concerned with catching alcohol use on campus. Even though security seems focused on the alcohol use, it is widely accepted that Kent State is a party school. I don't mind the "party school" title so much because it is very easy to find a different social scene. However sometimes I think that students are not always safe in that environment.

Probably the worst thing about Kent State University is during the winter hte walkways get really icy, which makes it hard tp get places, and it causes peple to slip and fall.

The way that the faculty will treat students. The professors are ocassionally nice, financial aid is very mean, the bursar's office is helpful but irresponsible, and the president is a hermit who likes to hike up tuition to get more birds on campus.

The worst thing about KSU is parking services. Parking lots on campus are inconvenient and passes are too expensive.

Students do not seem to have a lot of pride in their school.

For the most part, I enjoy being a student at Kent State; however, a few things about the school irk me. One of my biggest pet peeves about the university is the extremely high tuition rate. Recently, the school decided to increase tuition by 3.5 percent, while also cutting many grants. Overall, the financial aid could be much better, but I believe that by applying for this scholarship, I may not have to worry as much about the outstanding tuition bills that come from my school.

I would have to say that the worst thing about my school is that all payments and scheduling and such is done by online only, sometime's it's easier just to phone to schedule say , a counseling appointment.
