Engaging and interactive classes.

Tips: The biggest learning I've gotten here is how to be independent while putting yourself out there. Kent has very passionate and involved professors who help in breaking the ice, and since class sizes are limited, there's more comfort and interaction involved. Cleveland is close by and good for networking prospects, and people have been good so far. However, there is a very limited scope for immigration.

Great faculty and immense research opportunities.

Tips: Kent has a nice small-town feel with a tight-knit student community. Professors are truly passionate about teaching, and you can find research opportunities if you are proactive enough. The networking and growth opportunities are limited, so you'll have better luck in nearby cities.
