Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I wish that I would have been more aware of how expensive college can really be.

I wish I had known how small the dorm are because I would have chosen a single room, rather than having a roommate. Also, there have been some personal experiences that were uncomfortable in regards to race.

I wish that I had worked harder on my grades so that when I finally reached college, I would have understood the higher education process.

I wish I had known that I would have wanted to go to the main campus first before going to a regional one. My mind would have been much more open to experiences.

I wish I knew the importance of studying. In high school I did not have to study as hard to get good grades, but in my first semester of college I found that I had no excuse to not study. I have all the resourses to study, and many people to help me understand material. I wish I knew all the resourses I had before I started school so I could have did better my first semester.

Overall practical skills, like personal finance skills.

I wish that I would have known how far the distance to walk to my classes from my dorm would be. When I visited, I was a completely different major than I am today. Therefore, I had no idea what was in store for me, as I had to walk all the way across campus to get to my classes. However, I did learn that a bike is a very effective way of getting around.

I wish I would have realized how important reading the textbook ahead of the lecture and using it as a study tool.

I wish I would have known the Kent State was the best university to attend for those majoring in Physical Education and Health Education. The faculty are leaders in the field. When selecting a place of study, many people make their decisions based on friends, family, location, or other reasons. People should make their decisions based on meeting with the faculty and absorbing themselves within the campus culture. I feel lucky that I made the decision to go to Kent State for my M.Ed. and Ph.D. for Health Education and Promotion based on those reasons.

I researched this school so I knew all I needed to know. I am a non-traditional student who works full-time and is married so the campus life doesn't really apply to me. My husband graduated from Kent State in 1983 so I know am familiar with the old campus and all the improvements made to the campus as well.
