Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the enthusiasm for sports because most of the teams aren't as good as everyone would like them to be.

As a commuter student to Kent State, I consider the accessbility of parking to be the worst thing about Kent State University. I drive 25 mintues to campus and must park in the desgnated commuter lot, which is also the lot for general student parking. If I don't plan ahead or if I'm running late, I miss the opportunity to park anywhere close to the location of my class. This adds unneccessary stress to my life and the lives of other commuter students, and leaves less time to focus on schoolwork or studying.

While it is hard to think of a negative thing about my school, there will forever be one that sticks out. Our center campus, between the library and the student center, was made for a school in Arizona. Somehow, the school there didn't particularly like the blueprint plans, so we took them in. The center campus, by student greens, is a major windtunnel- Umbrellas break, hats blow off, hoods don't stay on. It's the worst during winter or in the rain. Who would've thought it was a good idea?

Kent State University has so many great points that the only thing that it could improve upon is having larger and more fitness and wellness facilities and trails. For the amount of people in and around campus, a larger facility plus a campus designated walk/run/cycling trail could accomodate and positively influence the wellness of the entire city and surrounding areas.

They don't have as many campus unification things as other schools, to make us feel like a family.

I have only attended about two weeks and I have no complaints about the school.

The lack of campus pride. Although people goto the sporting events and concerts, no one is that excited about Kent State.

Dining options are incredibly unhealthy and limited. And for students without cars, it is difficult to access a grocery store.

Trying to fill out my first semester schedule with a substitute academic advisor because mine was not available. Don't feel she was knowlegeable in what classes I needed and was able to take because I had several AP tests passed and many of the core classes are not necessary.

In my personal opinion, the worst thing about this school is just the price to attend this school and to live on campus. For students that cannot get enough financial aid, it is difficult to be able to afford to live on campus and therefore harder to be involved in clubs and other activites.
