University of Akron Main Campus Top Questions

I think the most unique thing about my school is how concerned the faculty is with the students. Many of the faculty members are well-known authors and philanthropists and they are really involved in the students' academic careers. The faculty are always available to answer questions or they are open to giving the students information about job opportunities at local firms.

I choose UA because of the reputation of the dietetics program and the professors.

In a school of about 30,000 students there is a place for everyone.

Akron is unique because even though it's a larger school, it feels so much like a small community. Everyone is so friendly and open to meeting new people and making new friends. Also, because we are located in a decently sized city, there is a lot to do off campus if you just need to get away.

My school uniqueness compared to other schools would be the variety of differt cultures and races. My school has a unique campus life of different sports activites and learning.

Compared to other schools my school seems to have better programs and groups in place to help out students and build community among the student body.

Nothing at all. The only reason I am going here is because it was the least expensive school I considered and, if I were to do it again, I would not even think of coming here.

At the time they offered Biology with a specialization in zoology. That was what I wanted to major in. The schoool was closer to me than the only other school I could find that had a zoology major, which was Ohio State University. That was why I chose this school, they decided to stop offering it, starting this past August.

Very affordable. Enough financial aid to cover all college expenses. Great education thusfar. Cheap, good off campus apartments if you look ten or fifteen minutes away.

I felt that this school just fit me more. The buildings are newer looking and the school is now doing something called landscape for learning, so the entire campus is absolutly gorgeous. I feel waking around the school that I belong more rather than just walking from building to building just attending classes.
