Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

The one thing that was most frusturating for me during this school year was the social activities. There are a lot of social events but they seem to be geared more for sororities and fraternities. I was not part of a sorority/faternity and kinda felt left out. Also it was kind of difficult to make friends that were in these sororities and fraternities as they only wanted freidns tht did participate in greek life.

The most frustrating thing about my school is definitely the parking. I live off campus and sometimes it is difficult to find a parking spot.

Being remembered for the May 4th Shootings and the common description of a Kent State student: "Can't read, can't write, Kent State".

The most frustrating think at my school are the professors who grade you based off what they think of you and not your academic performance. It's not very common but there is one professor in particular that will and his classes are unavoidable because he is the only one who teaches them.

Distance from dorms or off-campus housing to buildings for classes. The campus is set up where the dorms are on one side and the classes are on the other making walking to and from class a trek.

The most frustrating thing about Kent State University, is that some textbooks for classes can only be in Kent State edition. It makes it harder for a student to find a cheaper textbook on a student budget. Since some of these books sell out in the campus book store it makes it impossible to find the textbook online to aqquire the textbook before you start class.

The hub is a central food court on campus. The most frustrating thing is that I pay thousands of dollars to go to Kent State University, however they refuse to accept the students' food plan from the hours of 11am-2pm. This is the most frustrating part of my day, because often times that is the only place I can go to get food inbetween classes without being late. Yet they refuse to accept the meal plan, which they required me to buy.

When I first came to Kent, I was frustrated by the anonymity associated with attending a larger school. For the first few weeks, I felt so lost and alone amongst 17,000 other students. However, the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I became. I realized that there are some awesome benefits of attending larger school; as one of many students, I have the opportunity to meet people from a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. I have the opportunity to truly expand my thoughts and my self, and to become the person I've always wanted to be.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the parking situation on campus. More passes are sold than spots available, parking tickets are given out immediately, and most students are late because of this issue. A parking garage would solve a lot of problems and make students much happier than additional landscaping projects.

It gets really cold in the winter and we'll all still have to go to class with two to three feet of snow on the ground.

Kent State has a lot of great resources and you can get a lot of things on campus: groceries, art supplies, books, etc. However the things they don't have on campus seem to be the things that I run out of the most: shampoo, make-up remover, tissues, detergent and due to my schedule and lack of a car it makes it really difficult to find a few spare hours to make the three mile walk to a local CVS downtown to get what I need.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the application and transfering process. It was hard for me to figure out if I had all the necessary information I needed to transfer, whether or not my classes would count for credit, and trying to communicate concerns to my counselor was difficult.

The only thing that is frustrating about kent soemtimes is their way of informing people on things and explaining things to them. I have had some run-ins with this last semester. I wish they would take some time to truly let you know about things. Other than that I have not had any rea problems with kent.

The Weather. It is constantly cold, raining or snowing. Then it changes and is hot or humid. Also, the hills, there are so many hills you have to walk up and down in the horrible weather to get to class. Other than that it's all good.

As with other schools I'm sure, the cost of books is ridiculous. One of my textbooks I needed to buy from the university bookstore was $100 and because it was a special edition I could not sell it back anywhere. I have to do the same this semester. It's incredibly frustrating to spend so much money on something I rarely even use.

The only frustrating thing about Kent State University that I have experienced is the inability of some students to respect the communual bathrooms as if they were in their own home.

Some of the most frustrating things about my school are the professors and teacher assistants. Many of them speak very poor english and are unreasonable when it comes to grading. This is something that I have experienced at other universities also while taking summer courses. Other discouraging characteristics about my school include the long cold winter's expiernced in Northeastern Ohio. The design of the campus being based off the University of Arizon which allows for wind tunnels most definately does not help confront the harsh blizzard drafts.

The most frustrating thing about Kent State University at Kent is the hassle of paying your bill for school, there is a time dely in the time you pay your bill and time you are notified on payment.

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the over priced food. The daily meats that you need to intake would cost almost $9 for a small piece of meat. I just wish that they would lower the prices even though we have a meal plan. We need to be able to survive and be able to eat the foods that are healthy for our body.

I think the most frustrating thing about school is the amount of time you put into projects.
