Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I wish I would have known how hard it was to make friends. After the welcome weekend, people aren't eager to make friends.

I wish I saved ALOT more money.

I wish I would've known more about studying and had more time to prepare for the major that I am pursuing. I wish I had enough money to be able to buy my books and other things that I need for school.

I wish I had known what it was going to be like to share a bathroom with 30+ girls. It is a challenge that I had not been expecting. Due to the fact that so many people share such a small space, we have had to learn the value of cleaning up after yourself. To start the years no one ever wanted to go shower because they were always gross, now they are improving as we make the transition and begin to grow into more mature adults.

I wish I would have known exactly what was expected of me. I came from a smaller, wealthy neighborhood and school system. I took advanced courses and was ahead of many students in my grade. I came to college thinking the expectations would be similar, if not greater. However, I found that I was way ahead of many people in my classes. So the expectations were a little lower than what I experienced in high school.

The way the teachers grade, the level of out of class work (excluding homework) that was needed to stay on top of each class.

How unbelievably cold it would be. This winter was the worst I have ever experienced and I was not at all prepared for the affect it would have on me physically and emotionally.

I wish I had known that there is a huge amount of resources and scholarships. There are many academic opportunities on this campus.

I wish I would've known that financial aid would not provide me withe finances I need to pay for school. Start saving early.

I wish I would have known the resources that were available to people who are my age. I also wish I would know how expensive schook was going to be.
