Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I think the worst aspect of Kent State University is that it is too selective in its admissions. There are many individuals that are quite gifted and will go on to great things, as evidenced by the prestigous Honors College program, but at the same time the makeup of the student body is undermined by those that will likely drop out and do not care about higher education or its implications.

The worst thing about Kent State University is being able to balance financial needs with graduating on-time and within the major a student might initially begin with.

The worst thing about Kent State University is the current administration's belief in non important infastructure and expansion projects. Only until recently did the university start to replace out-dated and older windows, repair ceilings and damaged, older pieces of dorms and lecture halls. The emphasis on non-traditional and non priority upgrades or expansions have increased tuition, while the investments are not seen within classrooms, dorm halls, food, infastructure, and returns on investment and education. This has angered many because of rising costs, devauled economy, and lack of progression in education has made college almost a bad investment.

The worst thing is the Freshmen who bring high school drama with them. We're adults, we shouldn't behave this way, college is a place to start over.

To be honest, the worst thing about Kent State University would be that the resident halls aren't very close. I feel like that seperates the students to a degree. I believe that Kent loses some of the sense of community because of this.

The worst thing about my school is having to pay for parking because its just another thing we have to pay for that should be free.

The worst thing about my school would have to the price. I love Kent State and I would change nothing but the price.

The worst thing about our school is how the students focus more about there social lives instead of focusing on the important things like their schoolwork.

I consider the fact that people smoke all over the campus to be the worst thing about my school. I consider this to be the worst thing because, when your walking the smoke blows in your face, and if a person has asthma it is bad for them, and will leave you coughing. Another thing is that it leaves the beautiful campus looking unattractive with the cigarette buds laying around.

The worst thing about Kent is definitely the parking. Freshmen aren't allowed to park anywhere except the Stadium which is located all the way down the street. You have to take a shuttle to get there and back. If you have a job or something important to do that day, getting to and from your car can be time consuming.

The worst thing about about Kent State University, in my opinion, would have to be the bus schedule. As a commuter I park in a provided parking lot off of campus. Fortunately, KSU provides busing around campus and they come quite often. However, the only way to be on time for class is if I make sure I arrive quite early. The buses often get behind schedule due to traffic and other students.

The only bad thing about attending Kent State is that there are different key cards for different things to do. There is a door card, a laundry card and a meal plan card which can be somewhat cumbersome at times to keep up with.

Kent cares more about the way it looks. 1) Every year there is a new construction project. Instead, they should spend money and time on increasing student morality. I've been at this school for many years and the student body is not very warm or welcoming. And as the years go on its getting worse. 2) When looking at pictures that the school puts up on display, the pictures show a lot more diversity than what really exists. Yes, there are people of every background in attendence, but the majority of the student body is white.

I consider the cost to be the worst thing about my school. The cost is extremely high to someone like me, from the lower class without much help from anyone. The cost is in even worse light than at the begining thought when you think about paying back so many college loans in an unsecure job market.

The worst thing about kent state is not being able to be integrated fully unless you are a student living in a dorm. I always lived at home with my parents so it was hard to make friends at first.

The worst thing about my school is that when you call everybody does not have all the answers. So when trying to get things set up if you dont already have a step by step plan written out and to follow you will be misguided and this will make your enrollment either be late or not have everything you need to start school. They will have you running around calling a ton of people and still miss something that should have been tooken care of. This has caused me to take classes I did not need and money wasted.

Sign up for dorms early because the go fast.

I think the worst thing about my school is the high wind levels.

Honestly, I can't think of a bad thing about Kent. When choosing where to live on campus, make sure your fist class isn't a twenty minute walk!

If you own a car and live a little far from campus, the worst thing would be the parking. Any place you park you always seem to be to far from the building you need to get to. Also if you don't buy a parking pass early on you may have to pay a lot of meters to park, but the meters don't pass two hours. So good luck trying not to get a ticket if you have a lab class that is more than two hours long.
