Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I wish I would have known the experiences I was missing out on by commuting. I wish I would have lived in the dorms on campus.

That college is not like High School. College is full of choices and no one is going to tell you whether the choice you made is a good choice or a bad choice. In High School your teachers would make that choice for you "you didn't turn in the assignment so you have to complete it with me during lunch". In college if you choose not to complete an assignment the professor doesn't hunt you down and hold your had through turning making sure it gets done.

I wish i had known what exact major I wanted to pursue.

I wish I had known that kent is a very small town and that Kent gets very cold. I also wish that I had known to choose a better residence hall, because mine is a long walk to classes. More than anything, I wish I had known how hard it is to complete some courses that I want to do, since some essential courses are not offered every semester. My time here has stretched by a year because I wan't able to complete all the courses that I require in time.

I wish I would have known how big the college was. I knew the number but i didn't realize how big that really meant.

I wish I had known that I would not have liked college life as much as I thought I would. I wish I had taken a year off to figure out who I was and what I wante do do before I decided now was the right time to go.

I wish i would have gotten better information on how the credits i earned at community college would translate to my degree of focus.

I honestly can't think of terribly much that I wish I'd known before coming to Kent other than to be prepared for harder course work than I had in high school.

Maybe to keep better relationships with your professors and learn how to get jobs in you major on campus. Like working in a biology lab for expeirence.

I wish I would have known the importance of a formal education in society today. Had I put more effort into expanding my mind in the previous years, I would have so many more opportunities, both for myself and my children. Kent provides more information and resources than I knew were avilable for me.
