Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

Honestly, I feel I had a fairly accurate mindset of what life as a Kent State college student would be. This school has lived up to my expectations for the most part. The only thing I wish I would have known is the extreme variety of majors and minors Kent offered. I had no idea and struggled to settle on a major for quite sometime. Had I actually known all the choices I had in advance, maybe it wouldn't have been so hard to choose one.

I don't wish to have known anything other than what I already knew when enrolling at Kent State University. It is a great campus and I love it.

In high school I had always heard to be involved in college, and I took that kind of advice for granted during my first year which is something I regret since I was pretty lonely and bored during that first year of my college career. Now as a sophomore, I am more involved and I appreciate my school more and I actually have friends and I have a really great time at school and I never want to leave my new friends.

Before I started attending Kent State, I wish I had known what it would be like to be completely independent and being completely responsible for myself. My success at school depends on me and only me. Unlike in high school, you don't have teachers or peers looking over your shoulder every minute making sure you get to class and do your work on time. Before I started college, I had no idea what it would be like to have so much responsibility and having my academic success in school be based only on me.

I wish I had known the vast amount of oppurtunities that are available at Kent State University. There are hundreds of internships, jobs, and other ways to be prepared for the work force much better than other universities would like to say they have available. If I had known this earlier I would have taken full advantage of these opportunities and have had a much better head start for my career in the medical field!

Don't be afraid to speak up. Stop worrying about being perceived as weird. Get involved with as many things as possible. Stop thinking that you can't or you won't. The only thing holding you back is yourself. Campus food is heavenly. No one judging you. You don't need to talk to your boyfriend constantly. Your friends are more important. This is the last time you'll be able to sleep until 9:00 everyday, so: Laugh. Eat. Trust. Divulge. Flirt. Cry. Pretend. Try harder. Sweat. Focus. Relax. Believe in yourself. Be; You will go far.
