Possible Summer Transfer

I’m an exercise science major who is looking to do summer classes for Gen Physics and Gen Chem. I was highly suggested by my advisor of my current university to not do those classes in my uni. Kent State Stark campus is gonna be closest to me, are the Gen Physics and Gen Chem classes good or will they kick my ass? Thank you for your time

Off-Campus or On-Campus

I’m most likely joining,hopefully, in the time to come. From your experience, which form of housing best suits life at Kent state and Is there a big cost difference between the two?

is there somewhere i could spend a long stretch of time working on creative projects?

i really like this school & am hoping to go next year, but i spend a lot of time making cosplays & props, using stuff like eva foam & contact cement, spray primers, a lot of stuff that needs a well ventilated & open workspace. i sand stuff a lot too.

i’m really scared that when i go to college ill have nowhere to do my hobbies, is there any kind of open studio space that students can use? sorry if this is a dumb question & thanks in advance

Is submitting a portfolio required to be accepted to the Visual Communication Design major?

First Snow Tips

I've made some posts earlier asking about winter weather gear and I got some great responses.

But...

Now that we are about to get our first snowfall here, what is some advice for going about?

I have winter coats, boots, gloves and even ski pants. No car for now.

Does the university plow sidewalks? And how worried should I be about slipping on ice? And what is the university policy on class cancellation, like if there is a bad snow storm or crazy low temps?

Send me all your winter tips!

Will I get accepted in honors ??

I recently applied for the honors program and submitted 2 essays but the main problem is that eventhough the essay was written by myself it was showing some percentage of ai . I don't really remember how much was it and the fact that I didn't cared about it because I was confident that the honors college admission team will recognise that the essay was written by human just by looking at its tone . Now I am really afraid after putting so much time and effort I think I will get rejected by the honors program.

Applications

Hi, I applied to Kent around 2 weeks ago now and I still haven't heard anything back from them. I've been getting emails and mail but nothing regarding my acceptance or anything. I was wondering how long this could take, as I did apply kind of late.

Single dorm as a freshman/nursing program

Currently a senior in high school and kent is one of my top choices. Just curious, how easy is it to get a single dorm as a first year? I assume applying for them earlier is better, but are they favored towards upperclassmen or anyone so it would be harder to get one?

Also anyone who has been in/heard things about the nursing program, how is it?

Thanks in advance!

I hate going to this class (rant)

It's literally across the entire campus from where I park. The 20 minute walk is so grueling and I cant do it anymore. My body hurts like hell afterwards, I'm sweating like a pig, and today it's cold as hell and raining. Ive already missed a few classes and I don't want to miss anymore, but I can't keep paying for passport parking because it's going to add up quickly (it already has).

I'm just sick of classes being so far away from where I park, and not being able to get a good parking pass each semester because I'm not a grad student or senior. My grade is literally suffering because my body is physically incapable walking to and from this class 4 times a week.

Considering Transferring to Kent State – Looking for Insights on the Psychology Program and Campus Experience

Hi! I’m considering transferring to Kent State and plan to major in Psychology (BA) with a concentration in counseling, and minor in either Business Management or Entrepreneurship. I’ll be commuting, and I’m currently at a small liberal arts school, so I’m used to a lot of personalized help and a tight-knit community. Since Kent is a larger school, I’m wondering how the experience compares. Specifically, do faculty members typically respond to emails in a timely manner, and do you feel that you get the individual help/attention you need as a student? Also, to current Psych majors, I’d love to hear about your experiences with the program. I’d really appreciate any insights/advice from current students. Thank you!

I got accepted!

Hi! I just recently got accepted into Kent State on the main campus at Kent and I was wondering how well their biology program is? I have a lot of family that went there and I was thinking about committing but I'm gonna wait until I get the rest of my decisions back. I have 8 awaiting and I've gotten accepted into 4 schools already (Kent, Cleveland State, Ohio University, Uni of Dayton). I got in for the Biology - BS - Pre-Medicine/Pre-Podiatry/Pre-Dentistry major and i was just wondering if anyone knew if they had a strong program or not

Acceptance chance in PhD Ecology

Hello, I am an international student with 74% in undergrad, 1 internship, 1 thesis and 1 manuscript plus 1 RA experience. I have applied to PhD program as per the suggestion of Prof with whom I have contacted. The concern is, he is saying he can not guarantee the admission as he do not have control over admission process. By seeing my profile, any senior can guess whether I can get enrolled or not, because I have not applied else where ..

dorms

i recently took a tour and i looked at the dorm model rooms. the only one i didn’t want to get was the one with the metal bars as a bed frame but i forget which those are called, and i would need to know if i wanna request which style of dorm i want. not a big deal if i end up in that style but it would be nice if i can try and avoid it.

Sleep in?

I haven't gotten any real sleep all week and I'm feeling sick. I have a test in my classes today though. should I just sleep in and take a day to myself or should I slog though the exams?
