I actually love KSU. If I had any complaints, it would be that the Psychology undergrad courses are almost always taught by grad students; professors typically only teach if it's a special topics course. Also, the university spends money pretty frivolously (like buying Lester Lefton a $15,000 golf cart to drive around campus) & sidewalks aren't shoveled in winter + class never gets cancelled for BAD weather.

I'm also a Studio Art student. The art faculty can be a little pretentious at times, & they have EXTREMELY high expectations from art students & try to consider themselves a professional art school (like SAIC-level). They do Sophomore Review, where they have the ability to kick you out if you're an Art major (I'm just a minor & skipped this). However, all the professors are really fun & usually funny, & will go out to have a cigarette & awesome conversations with their students.

However, research is really easy to get involved in, teaching faculty in all majors / fields are easy to talk to, student organizations are really easy to get involved in, & Dining Services is EXTREMELY helpful. They put in full, huge menus & a lot of effort to make the school really vegetarian & vegan friendly, AND it takes amazing. I love the primarily liberal atmosphere & how "hippie" the entire town is (downtown Kent is adorable & the community is easy to be involved in too!). Awesome school, definitely deserves a positive review & A's.
