Pure Mathematics - Master of Science - Batch of 2026

Offered by Kent State University

3.8

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.

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.
