Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I wish I would have known more about the history of the campus. Kent is well known for the May 4th shootings and I had no idea what happened.

Even if I did know about the weather before i went to Kent State it would not have changed my mind in going there.

Before coming to this school, I wish I knew about the "bad" professors to avoid when registering for class.

Before attending this school, I wish I knew how much money course supplies was for first year architecture studio.

I wish that I had learned more about how student loans work. There is a total amount that a student is allowed to borrow in an undergraduate program. Also, there is a six year maximum one is allows to borrow subsidized leans, which are loans in which the government pays interest on while the student is enrolled in college. Lastly concerning this topic, I wish that I would have learned about the repayment of loans; there are different ways in which a student may pay back the money borrowed once he/she is out of school.

To not be shy to put myself out there and make friends whith people no matter what. You can be friends with people that are different with you an d still have great relationships

I wish i would have known that i should have roomed with someone when i came to Kent. I decided to room by myself and i realized that even though i have privacy, i do not have anyone to really talk to or go out with. Everyone usually keeps to themselves in my dorm and if i would have had a roomate i think i would have felt better and would go out and do activities and become more involved. Next year i have signed up to have a roomate which is probably a really good choice.

I wish I had been more prepared for the homesickness, it comes with any college experience, luckily I had friends who made it all worth while.

Before comeing to Kent State University, I wish I would have known more about schedule planning and how taking one course might effect the other you take further down the road.

I think the one thing I wish I had known before coming to school is that you will miss your family and high school friends more than you realize. I went to Kent State versus a school in Pittsburgh because I wanted some distance between me and my family. Now that I have my schedule filled with classwork and sorority events, I almost never have an opportunity to go home to see everyone little bitter which makes being far from home a little bitter sweet.
