The University of Akron is best known its Engineering department. Being located in Rubber City, UA has had many close partnerships with all of the largest rubber corporations in America. These partnerships have allowed for many incredible facilities and projects on campus. The residence organizations, the Residence Hall Programming Board and Residence Hall Council, are also very highly regarded in many national college residence groups.

Sports. The University of Akron has over 30 club sports and activities of any and all varieties. I was recently voted in as the president of the table tennis club last semester. My freshman year I just played at the recreation center and it has become a real part of my life. The traditional sports also have a large presence here. Our mens soccer team won the national championship in 2011. No matter what your interest, though, if you try out enough of these activities, you will most certainly find one that you love.

One of my favorite traditions is SpringFest. There are tons of free games, contests, food, shirts, etc. that are available for all the students. The entire weekend, typically one of the last weekends before the end of the Spring semester, is jam packed with activities, from concerts to carnival style games. And the best part is - most of it is free and easy to get to!

The University of Akron is known for many great things. One of our best known traditions is our always excellent men's soccer team. They have been MAC national champs for quiet some time. We are also known for having one of the best communication programs. The program even has its own student run tv and radio station that are ranked number one on many levels. But perhaps what The University of Akron Is really known for is our unique mascot Zippy. Zippy the kangaroo was ranked Capital Ones mascot of the year!
