Akron is a great place to go to school and live. There's never a dull moment on campus with all the different activities they offer year round. The schooling is very good, and for a very good price compared to the other expensive schools. The University of Akron is like a home away from home for any college student, and I'm definitely glad I chose to come here. Any prospective college student should consider giving the University of Akron a good look.

The classes are not far at all to walk to, and the parking is incredibly convenient.

The University of Akron is one of the highest ranked engineering schools in the country, they also allow a co-op program so it is easier for the students of any major to find a job after college graduation. Unlike many universities I went to Akron seems like the college that is willing to extend thier welcome to commuter students. The University also has many groups and programs the students are encouraged to join which also allows for more scholarships to those students as well as other job opportunities.

The University of Akron was the only college that offered Mechanical/Polymer Engineering, which automatically gave them the upper hand. Tuition was also somewhat less expensive compared to the other Universities I have considered. In addition, I heard that the University of Akron had one of the best math and engineering departments compared to the other Universities. Lastly, you cannot beat Zippy (our mascot). In fact, Zippy won the 2009 best mascot of the country.

All the teachers want to see you succeed and want to help you excel far into your major. Especially for engineer majors, the curriculum focuses on your future beyond graduation and what they can do to make sure your resume is rich and impressive for future companies that are interested in you.

This school is unique because of its placement, it is is litterally in the center of Akron. This provides a lot of diversity.
