Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

That it would be so much work to maintain.

Looking back now, I realize I should have known everything I know now; about financial aid, scholarships, and loans. I wish I would have taken it all more seriously. I failed to know deadlines and that has caused some stress, to say the least. I convinced myself that I had enough time to accomplish everything that I needed to do, but I was wrong. Now I am struggling to pay for college. If i could go back with the knowledge I have now, things would certainly be easier for me.

There is nothing that I wish I would have known at this point.

I wish I had known that Greek life was not all about partying and high school jocks all grown up. I have found that it is so much more, it's building lifelong friendships, and doing service projects to benefit the community. It's also partying, but it's so much more and I wish someone would have told me that before my junior year when I finally joined a Fraternity.

I would have to say I wish I would have known the layout of the Kent main Campus. Very large compared to the Trumbull campus I was previously attending much more often. The first time I went to Kent main I was only taking one class there while I was maintaing my full-time status at Kent Trumbull. The campus was huge and I was pretty unfimiliar, I actually used a parking meter there for a full semester. I was much too nervous to be late or get lost then. I would definitely refer new students to take a tour.

I wish I had known how much more difficult the curriculum is in comparison to other schools. However, I really believe it is worth it, and I have learned so much more at Kent State University than I feel I would have at another school.

I wish I knew that the beginning GPA is the most important. If I could go back in time, I would work harder my first semester.

I wish I had known more about college in general because I never planned on going to college and im lucky to have ended up at Kent State University.

I wish I knew that there was a career service department. I was undecided on my major for a couple quarters last year. Once I realized it was there on campus I worked with them to decide my major. It made the rest of the year less stressful once I knew what I wanted to do and what degree I wanted to pursue.

I wish I understood exactly how expensive classes were before coming to this school.
