University of Akron Main Campus Top Questions

I think that the surrounding area of this campus is the worst thing about this school. It is dangerous and not very built up. I think that if they worked to re-build the area around the University of Akron more people would want to go there.

Long walks, but helps you maintain a healthy body.

The worst thing id have to say is the area in which the school is located. It is pretty much located in the akron ghetto.

They really drop the ball on getting financial aid for students. Unless the student is a varsity player or in the honors program there isnt really much help there.

the worst thing about my school is probably the area that its around. the school itself isnt bad but akron itself can be dangerous

the worst thing about my school is that the people there are so nice and helpful that you really never want to leave, so you dont really get a whole lot of time at home.

I feel that the worst thing about my school is the location. While campus patrol is out constantly as well as the cops, if you travel too far from campus it can get a little rough.

Getting to the campus is the worst problem on this campus. This school has a huge commuter population. This causes a large amount of congestion during the busy school hours and a shortage of parking spaces. If a student doesn't show up very early in the morning they are very likely to walk fifteen minutes to thier classes.

It is very close to the city of Akron and a lot of the crime from around the city and the area around campus drift into campus. A lot of robberies and break ins.

N/A

The crime on and off campus. There are a lot of robberies. I do not feel safe being on campus at night by myself.

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There aren't enough parking spaces and there are too many students that drive

The neighborhood. There are many crimes that go on, on and around the campus. Campus is near the inner city neighborhoods, so there are shootings, robberies and people who get jumped, a lot more than usual on a college campus. However the campus police are doing the best they can to stop the crime, it still happens, and scares me enough I don't like being on campus once the sun goes down.

The housing here at Akron has been a problem the last few years---too many students with not enough housing... but then again it goes to show you how many people want to attend this college.

Finding an advisor that actually know what they are talking about. Also the professors are experts but they do not know how to teach, especially in engineering. Most of the time students fail the tests but somehow still end up with a B.

The worst thing about my school is the parking situation. There were more parking permits sold than there were available parking spots, and parking is very difficult some days.

The worst thing about my school is some of the teachers seem not to care if you know what you are doing or not. Being in the Electrical Engineering Department, the teachers sometimes assume that you have privious knowldge which some students do but i do not. It is quite difficult to be taught by a teacher who assumes you already know wha you are doing.

Parking. Not enough on campus housing.

The worst thing about my school is the parking since they keep taking out parking lots to build new campus building and now a new stadium. Engineering class also get hard to get into when your getting close to finishing up since theres not as many professors teaching those classes so they fill up quickly.
