What's the most frustrating thing about Kent State University at Kent?

Brandon

The one thing that was most frusturating for me during this school year was the social activities. There are a lot of social events but they seem to be geared more for sororities and fraternities. I was not part of a sorority/faternity and kinda felt left out. Also it was kind of difficult to make friends that were in these sororities and fraternities as they only wanted freidns tht did participate in greek life.

The most frustrating thing about my school is definitely the parking. I live off campus and sometimes it is difficult to find a parking spot.

Being remembered for the May 4th Shootings and the common description of a Kent State student: "Can't read, can't write, Kent State".

The most frustrating think at my school are the professors who grade you based off what they think of you and not your academic performance. It's not very common but there is one professor in particular that will and his classes are unavoidable because he is the only one who teaches them.

Distance from dorms or off-campus housing to buildings for classes. The campus is set up where the dorms are on one side and the classes are on the other making walking to and from class a trek.

The most frustrating thing about Kent State University, is that some textbooks for classes can only be in Kent State edition. It makes it harder for a student to find a cheaper textbook on a student budget. Since some of these books sell out in the campus book store it makes it impossible to find the textbook online to aqquire the textbook before you start class.

The hub is a central food court on campus. The most frustrating thing is that I pay thousands of dollars to go to Kent State University, however they refuse to accept the students' food plan from the hours of 11am-2pm. This is the most frustrating part of my day, because often times that is the only place I can go to get food inbetween classes without being late. Yet they refuse to accept the meal plan, which they required me to buy.

When I first came to Kent, I was frustrated by the anonymity associated with attending a larger school. For the first few weeks, I felt so lost and alone amongst 17,000 other students. However, the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I became. I realized that there are some awesome benefits of attending larger school; as one of many students, I have the opportunity to meet people from a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. I have the opportunity to truly expand my thoughts and my self, and to become the person I've always wanted to be.

Ashley

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking situation on campus. More passes are sold than spots available, parking tickets are given out immediately, and most students are late because of this issue. A parking garage would solve a lot of problems and make students much happier than additional landscaping projects.

It gets really cold in the winter and we'll all still have to go to class with two to three feet of snow on the ground.
