Kent State University Kent

My overall experience with the university has not been pleasant. I have attending the Tuscarawas Campus, Stark Campus, and Kent Campus and all three are pretty horrible. There are a few exceptions of course. I have had a few good professors at the school and I think certain majors are set up well but overall I have been very disappointed with my experience at Kent and am transferring next year. The positives are there are a few good professors, parts of the campus are very attractive, and I have felt relatively safe on campus. The negatives are some professors are a joke (in my case 90% have been), the town has NOTHING to do (not to mention there are very few restaurants), and I have had horrible experiences with the faculty. Many advisers have given me wrong information and had me in the wrong classes my freshman year, I was wrongfully accused of plagiarism my sophomore year (long story but to sum it up, I did not quote the definition of DNA even though I had written clearly where the source was from and the professor could not spell "plagiarism" correctly), and I did not feel like the student body was particularly friendly. I would not recommend Kent to any of my friends. I am sure some people are reading this and think I am exaggerating about how shitty the school is but I really am not. I think that maybe for certain majors that the experience is great but I have learned close to nothing in the past few years. I am going to OSU this summer and starting over my college career. Kent's classes are not worth the cost you pay, you get NO individual attention, and overall I felt like the experience was not worth anything. I am miserable and depressed. I am extremely bitter and I am only 21. I feel like I wasted the last 3 years of my life and am doing everything I can to change this and just get away from the school. Take my advice and look elsewhere.
