Read Hundreds of Quotes from Kent State University Students

Read samples from the Kent State University guide below:

Academics

“The profs aren’t anything special. There are good ones; there are not-so-good ones. I’ve only encountered one truly evil professor. The classes are interesting if you want them to be. It’s up to you how much you’ll enjoy a class. Sometimes complaining...”

Diversity

“Kent State likes to think it’s diverse, but it’s not. There are minority student groups on campus, which is good. But going just by sheer numbers, there aren’t many.”

Guys & Girls

“There really aren’t many particularly attractive people on campus, but I’m sure the typical girl would be drooling over these meager prospects. Most people walking around here act like it’s something wonderful to be going to Kent State and that they’re...”

Athletics

“The University likes to pretend that sports are a big deal around here. Like football is supposed to take all the drastically different social groups and bind them together into a wonderful, writhing crowd of cheering fans painted in blue and gold. Varsity...”

Academics

Though Kent State is a large university, it doesn’t mean professors ignore students, but it does mean that students will have to take the initiative if they really want to excel in their academics. The majority of freshman classes are taught in large lecture halls, with more in-depth classes being taught in smaller, more manageable class sizes. Despite popular belief, most professors speak English as their first language. The lower-division classes are mostly taught by graduate students, and nearly all of...

Diversity

Looking at the raw statistics, it may seem like Kent State is about as diverse as a bag of red jellybeans, but by actually experiencing the campus first-hand, you will realize that the campus really isn’t so monochromatic. While the majority of the students are white, this doesn’t mean there isn’t a strong minority presence on campus. If it involves an ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, there is already a group on campus set up to represent them. Many of these clubs and organizations are highly...

Guys & Girls

It doesn’t matter if you’re into Abercrombie or Wal-Mart. It is almost impossible not to find people on campus you’re attracted to. You’ve got your geeks, your thugs, your jocks—all kinds of people to interact with. Most of the “lookers” are preppy, but there are attractive people of all stereotypical college groups. The general sentiment on campus leans toward hookups over relationships, but that’s not everyone’s scene. Kent State does not currently have any guidelines with respect to sexual activities in...

Athletics

It is only on occasion that one of Kent State’s athletic teams will have a season that really gets students excited about KSU sports, though Kent State’s basketball team went to the NCAA tournament in its 2005 season. For the most part, students are generally apathetic about the various teams on campus, and they only occasionally go to sporting events for social reasons. There are a few diehards who closely follow obscure teams like women’s field hockey, but for the most part, you’ll never hear students...
