The worst thing about Kent State would be the parking. There is a lot of parking available but it gets super crowded during peak class times, although that is not really the university's fault!

Well I havent went to college at Kent State yet, but so far working with the financial aid office has been a pain. The office does not help and expects that parents and students to have planned out college expenses.

The freshman are open to more opportunities because they are new. I wish they had more opportunities for students who were not new to the school.

The worst thing I would consider here at Kent State University is that there are not a lot of different races that take part in majority of the events that goes on throughout the campus. That is a problem considering that that is an important way in meeting new people.

There are always new fees.

The Tution Appeal comittee. I started a new job, and didn't have access to a personal computer, just the public library. I believe that my situation was valid with letters form the library and my job to help state my case, however they denied me and I am desperatley trying to find help and jobs to help me pay the $1,900 back to the university. I believe that if i would've been able to talk to them in person that they would've understood better and they would've approved the case.

As a growing four-year institution, not unlike a sizable number of college campuses in the United States, Kent State and its administration have invited the seeds of consumerism into what is nominally an educational institution, complete with ATMs, credit-card vendors and fast food venues (including 'Starbucks' and 'Subway' chain outfits, neither of which contribute to the university as a center of education). Much like the influx of students pursuing purely-economic motives for their higher-education, so commodified is the section of campus adorned with brand names and gift-shop niceties. I'd like to see this changed.

The classes are too large for much one on one instruction or help.

I think the worst thing about my school is the cost of attendance. It is very difficult for me and my family to find the means to pay my tuition each year, and each year the tuition increases.

During my freshman year I had noticed that most students tend to go home on the weekends. Home is usually relatively close for them, since the majority of the students live in Ohio. I'm sure that being a freshman in a new place was also a contributing factor to the frequent trips back home but 26,000 students attend Kent, so it wasn't a big deal, it was just noticeable. The lack of pride/school spirit is really a shame. The stands are desolate, which I find appalling due to the whopping amount of students Kent has.
