Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

Some things at Kent are hidden and you learn them the fall semester of your freshman year. For example, there's over 500 different clubs. I wouldn't have dropped a few hobbies if I knew Kent had clubs and scholarships for them. In all honesty, I can now keep doing what I love, but before didn't know it was an option.

I wish i would have known how difficult college would have been, and i wish highschool would have prepared me a lot more.

Looking back on my senior year, I wish I would have realized the amount of scholarships that were avaliable to me. My class load was tough, so having time for extra scholarship essays was last on my list. Most the scholarships from Kent State had due dates before March, but being the first child in my family to go through this college process, I missed my oppurtunity. Now, I am a constant deadline reminder to my rommate and friends at Kent State.

Before I came to Kent State University I attended a small all-girl high school with a graduating class of just 112. I had never been to a large school and didn't quite know what I was getting myself into. At times, I wish I knew how different a large school is. I wish I knew ahead of time that there will be people I will never get to know or become friends with. Not everyone is going to like you or understand your personality and I wish I had known that before hand.

I wish I would have known where all the two hour parking meters are located on campus. Anytime I was running late for class I tried to take advantage of the parking meters but was unsure where all they were located. I also wish I would have known about all of the different types of scholarships available. I didn't realize how many great opportunities there were out there to get the help you need to pay for school. Don't wait last minute for anything.

Before i started Kent State Univerity, I wish I would have know how much was going on all the time. There was never a night in campus with nothing to do. In all honesty too much was going on at once that it made getting anything done difficult.My first year of college I tried to take care of my class work during the day and have fun alll night. However my grades suffered for it. The lack of sleep and focus had a damaging effect on my academics in the end.

I wish I had know that college is more complex than high school. It takes dedication and commitment to succeed. I also wish I would have known how expensive books and art supplies are on top of tuition.

I wish I had known that it was so rainy, that way I could have invested in an umbrella beforehand.

There is really nothing I wish I would have known. I knew I would have to work hard in my major, find a part time job, and also get involved to make friends. All this has happened easily on this campus, making it exactly what I expected and easy to adjust to. I was also granted scholarships and financial aid from the unversity, making it easier to afford.

i wish i would have learned that the cost of tuition is double what im use to paying for a regional campus
