"kent read, kent write, can party" Kent state has a bad reputation of being a party school and has a reputation of being a "back-up school" or an easy acceptance. Although it may be easy to get into Kent, it's hard t stay in. We also have a very vigorous architecture school as well as a very respected journalism and communication college. Our fashion school is 3rd in the country too! As for the partying, it's college, happens to the best of schools, but it's not something everyone participates in.

Kent is a very diverse campus. There are no "stereotypes" just unique people who like to express themselves freely. College is a place where you can be who you want to be without having to worry about other people judging you.

It tends to have a stereotype as an ultraliberal place, especially because of the events of May 4th, 1970. Kent is a liberal place, but there is also a lot more diversity than the stereotype would have you think.
