Comfortable experience.

Tips: My transition has been positive and surprising so far. What I have noticed is that despite my programme being among the hardest ones, the curriculum is very well planned and thought through. Classes are well structured and the research programs are well known as well. The vibe is peaceful and the student body is quite close knit as well.

This university is super good to pursue masters and is also a great place to live.

Tips: If you have someone here to help you with accommodation and also with finding on campus part time job then that would help you before joining the college. Basically, everyone would get to know everything after they come here. There is nothing to know that is important before coming. If you already know about the basic needs then it's good.

Likes (Safety): Kent state university and the place Kent is a very safe place to live. People can get accommodations nearby the university and we have bus facility for transport. I came for the fall 2022 intake till now I never heard any bad incidents from any known person.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Here, I can get Indian food from the restaurants nearby. Also, at my part-time the food we get tastes good, not super good but good to eat. We can get on campus jobs easily or we can find them on handshake website. Moreover, there are Indian stores nearby so its convenient.

The fee is excessive, and the number of credits required to complete the degree is too high.

Tips: If you are planning to study CA or BA courses, this is a good option. However, for AI, public health, aeronautical, or aviation programs, you need to give your full attention, and there's still a chance of not getting the desired grades, so think twice before joining Kent.

Likes (Public transportation): It is moderate if you want to explore the city; you need a car. Public transport is not an option; it is very bad. You have to rely on very bad people in some areas, and you have to be careful and watch out for constant construction around the city and residents' areas.

Dislikes (Value for money): The fee is excessive, and the number of credits required to complete the master's degree is too high. The course content is also not relevant for the workforce. Furthermore, the teachers are unhelpful; when asked about concerns, they suggest going back to my home country and completing the course online.

Learnt a lot of things throughout.

Tips: My experience here has been pleasant and peaceful. The coursework is way more challenging than I had initially thought but the peer groups and professors are around to help out via office hours, group discussions and mails. Career support is kind of limited but the infrastructure and facilities are helpful, even the library runs till quite late in the night. City is nice and comfortable, although not big on nightlife if that's something important to you.

Scholarships are mostly merit-based.

Tips: Life here is not as overwhelming as some of the bigger universities around, and you will be able to live at your own pace. I can vouch for its safety and sense of security as well, and student well-being is pretty positive as well. Scholarships here are mostly merit-based, and your GPA as well as your projects are equally important to get one. Cleveland has better scope for networking and opportunities, and it honestly doesn't make the most sense to come here as an international student with adequate scholarships, as you'll have to mentally prepare yourself to complete your degree and head back to your country.
