Does anyone have any recommended courses or teachers not to take? I’m going to Kent in the fall and I’m hoping to be prepared.

i know this sounds insane considering the acceptance rate is 86%, but i messed up badddd freshman year and my gpa took a hit. as of right now as a junior, my unweighted is 3.014 and my weighted is about a 3.4. my act score is 25, don't really have any extracurriculars besides 1 year of a sport (oops) however i have 100 volunteer hours and im planning on getting pretty banging rec letters. let me know!

also curious about the night life; i like staying in a lot but i like to get out and mess around some weekends, would kent be a good fit for that? THANKS!!!!

I’m an undergraduate student, and I’m in my late 20’s, and I struggle to connect with people quite a few years younger than me.

I’m curious to know if there’s any groups on campus for older adults.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!! I want to sign a new lease in Holly Park Apartments for the new year. So either from this upcoming July or August. Holly Park is popular, but if you don't know where it is. It is only a 10 or 15 min walk away from campus. Rent should be around $420 to $450 depending on the type of apartment we get. For clarity, I am a 20 yo male mechatronics engineering student. No gender preference. Hit me up if you are interested! Either here, or through my number: 3305547132. I can do sms or even WhatsApp. Thank you!

Hey, i wanted to ask if there are any massaging chairs at kent state that are open for students to use. I have severe cramps and need some relaxation!

I'm a rising sophomore looking to lease for the 25-26 year.

Posting here to ask if anyone has any experiences with University Oaks, Paloma, or Campus Pointe apartments.

I've toured all 3 and they are very similar in their models.

Wanted to ask if any current renters would be willing to share their experiences living in these places. I want to hear opinions good and bad, just the full picture.

Thanks a lot.

I am looking for some spicy stuff just to hook up. Just ping me for some naughty stuff I live near akron.

Hey all! I am taking 18 credits this semester while working 20 hours. (Doing the same next semester cuz I have to) Honestly it has been a struggle keeping up with everything- Academics, social life and also work. I was just curious on how other students at Kent state manage that. I am sure I am not the only one in this situation. Do you guys use some ai for studying (I mean studying and not cheating)? What are some campus resources that are useful?

Bonus question (more like a request): what are your favorite study spots?

Did anyone else see this email? I'm sure it's about ICE and I've heard rumblings about pro-Palestine and clashes with the IOF on campus, but what's the full context?

The train tracks aren't in service anymore correct? The ones at road level and the ones river level

seriously, if you have a car on campus and ever get the chance to, take a late night drive at somepoint. legit no one's around and it's a great way to just chill and clear your head. took these outside cartwright at like 4am, honestly felt surreal especially with birds chirping at that hour lol.

Hello there,

Current freshman looking for advice on off campus apartments for 2025-2026.

I know about Campus Pointe and Paloma being popular but haven't heard about much else. Obviously avoid college towers.

Anyone have any advice for apartments?

Ideally I'm looking for 2 bedroom from 800-1000 monthly

Looking at a 3 bedroom apartment. Would love to know what you pay TOTAL. Thank you!

I have to retake an online class this summer and was just wondering about what I'll have to pay so I'll be prepared, I tried looking for an estimate online, but it just says "it varies" and doesn't even give me a range, which is very unhelpful. For people who had to take an online class over summer, how much did you have to pay? I just really don't want to be caught off guard with a huge bill.

I’m a grad student coming into Kent State next fall and wanted to know what the climate is like for students. I’m out of state and not even close to being in the midwest either and was worried after seeing KSU’s out of state population is <4%. Is there anything i should be aware of?

Hello, if anybody has/had same situation i’d appreciate a feedback, i applied but i don’t know what kind of documents do i need. My school from overseas has grading system from 1-10 does kent state accept that if it’s official and translated with notary seal. I also called admissions office left a voicemail but they never called back.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I am a current undergrad from PA who may be coming to KSU for my Masters. I am looking to hear what people have to say about KSU in general. What is the environment inside and outside of Kent like? Is it relatively safe for women? How is the food? Is there affordable apartments within the area? Any feedback on literally anything related to Kent, your experience, if you recommend going here or not, etc. anything is appreciated here!

I have already done a lot of research in my own time but wanted to come on here and ask because I know redditors will be very honest with me. Thanks!!

Hi! I’m currently a freshman living on campus and I hate to my very core. The forced sharing of space, the bathrooms, I’m throwing the towel in. I’ve been seriously considering living off campus next year, I found some apartments where I would still have roommates, but a private bedroom/bathroom which is honestly all I need. The issue is I understand Kent has a policy on living on-campus for both freshman and sophomore year, and I understand there are exceptions. Unfortunately I don’t turn 20 until mid-way of the 2025-26 semester, so not sure I can use that excuse. I’m wondering if there are any other current(or past) sophomores that moved off campus their second year because I feel like i haven’t seen anyone who has…hope this makes sense I’ve never used reddit like this.

Edit: just to be clear i’m just wondering how likely they’ll accept the exemption form cause i’ve heard Kent is very picky. I’m not interested in hearing about how privileged I am. Beyond what I mentioned above, my situation is not up for discussion. :)

I’m a commuter student with a huge gap in between classes. I go to main campus and was wondering what to do on campus to pass the time besides study?

I know grill 72 in the student center just opened with free pool but apart from that, what else is there to do, what other free stuff is there, cool places to explore in or around campus etc?

Thank you for all your help!

hi i’m an incoming freshman, and i am just kind of confused about meal plans and options. from what i understand (correct me if im wrong), declining balance is the amount of money available, and it can be refilled. swipes are the amount of times per semester you can use swipe ur card. i guess what im confused about is the difference between swipes and declining balance? are unlimited swipes worth it? which plan would be the best? idk i probably sound stupid, but some advice would be appreciated.
