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.

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.

Great quality of education and very helpful faculty.
Tips: Honestly, Kent is a very underrated place for the quality of education it provides. It's easier to get scholarships here as compared to a lot of other places, and there is more multi-faceted interaction in classrooms as well. There is a peaceful vibe here as the community is close knit with good people.

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.

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.

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.
