Student Reviews
Good Enough
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Lots of good professors who really care about their work and their students. The honors program was also super rewarding
A good school under normal circumstances
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the school but they have not done a great job of managing and adjusting due to covid. For my major, I am required to live on campus for two years which really limits my study abroad options since I transferred here. Most of the classes were good but many of them are self-led and some I don't have any contact with the professor at all.
Unfulfilled College Experiences
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
Going to Kent State University provided me with a very useful experience to live on my own and become more independent as a person. However, many of the classes I took felt very repetitive as a result of the lack of professors working in this specific area of study.
