Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Kent State University at Kent? Why?

Mark

The worst thing about my school is the lack of a job placement program. There wasn't much emphasis on finding a job after college. The career counselors/academic advisors didn't really do much with that either. I graduated during the worst economic times in the last decade and there wasn't much emphasis on finding a job after college. What needs to happen is an active job placement program that would remedy this situation.

Kent can be slightly crowded. For this reason it is imprtant you give yourself plenty of time to get to and from classes.

Anthea

The worst thing about my school is that in the winter it is very difficult to get from class to class because the sidewalks are not always paved and the bus system is not very efficient at times. Also, missing a class, even if it is for a legitimate reason, is very difficult because the penalties are slightly ridiculous and it could at times be difficult to get the right documents. And if one misses class for a reason other than what is described by university policies,(but is still a good reason) one is penalized, in my opinion, unfairly.

The red tape. It takes multiple signatures from all of these people, most of which don't want to take the time to talk to you, in order to get a lot of things done.

Amnea

No one really knows whats going on. You find out important information after its too late.

Kristi

The worst thing I consider about Kent is the food. A lot of it is fried, sugary and not enough fresh vegetables or fruit. I may have not gained the "freshman 15," but I notice my pants fitting more snug. This year they are working on this by making sure each cafeteria has salads and other options for those more health-conscious. Also, it is very expensive to buy meals there. A lot of students run out of money on their meal plan before the semester is over.

Nothing really too bad about Kent State University. Everything easy going but, if I were to choose one thing I would say it's location. It's location is right in the middle of neighborhoods and restaurants and it's just so far away from everything to me. I can't complain about that. I commute and catch the bus out there, and I hear other students complain how they have to drive 35 mins before school starts to arrive on time. With over 40,000 students attending Kent State housing is very limited within the area.

Sierra

I really do not like the location of the school. I am always freezing no matter how bundled up I am outside.

Beatrice

I do not have a bad thing to say about Kent State, as my second year attending KSU I have found it a great school. It is challenging yet I feel like I have become a better person because of it.

The worst thing about Kent State is parking and the lack there of. This is my first full year with a car on campus and getting a parking pass in itself is difficult unless you an upperclassmen or try and buy one the day they go on sale. For me, all my classes are virtually in the same building so I tried getting a parking pass as close to that building as I could and I was unable to on the second day of parking pass sales. Besides parking, however, Kent is a great campus!
