This school believes in me and offers me the chance to do what I want to do instead of what people expect me to do because, at my home, people would tell me I wouldn't succeed in the field of journalism; but here, the teachers and faculty do not criticize my goals but encourage me to follow my heart and my passions while helping me improve my skills and increase my knowledge so that I can achieve my dreams one day.

What makes Kent State unique is while we may be an average university in the middle of Ohio, we have created a reputation that rivals some of the top schools in the nation. For the fashion school, we are ranked third in the country in a recent survey. We also have excellent programs in nursing and education. There are also excellent study abroad oppotunities in places like Florence, Geneva, and Hong Kong. We have a traditional setting, but a diverse environment with a place for everyone.

Kent State University is very focused on diversity and making everyone feel accepted around campus. Many student organizations are focused on minorities, including several of the largest organizations on campus, which shows the emphasis on diversity by both the administration and the student body as well.

Kent State is unique in that it is very diverse. There is a lot of individuality here. Some people say it is a very colorful campus because of the diversity. There are not only people of different race but also people of different sexuality, backgrounds, etc. It makes classes and social life very interesting.

The diversity on the Kent State Campus makes the university very unique. I have had the opportunity to associate with many wonderful people from different backgrounds, age groups, and lifestyles. We have students from not only all over the United States, but also from across the world. Being that I was raised in a small town, the cultural experiences has been very enlightening for me.
