Campus life is pretty safe and comfortable at Kent State. Kent State has the largest library with ample amount of resources for students, you can easily issue all your course-related books from there, they do have separate study rooms, and group study rooms. Kent State's environment is very open to accepting international students. They organise all Indian festivals such as Holi, Diwali, etc.

So, in order to get good accommodation I would advise there are Indian associations available for many international universities. These associations help you with everything i.e. getting accommodation, contacting and communicating with people from similar courses or backgrounds, picking you up from the airport, dropping you at your respective location, providing you with a university tour, etc.

Every week there’s an event on campus , lot of student clubs to join and have fun. Campus is large and beautiful.

I stay off campus in a 2bhk apartment, shared with 3 other people .I pay around 270 USD for rent and 30 USD for electricity.

I like living off-campus better. I live in a house close to campus with a friend. I have my own room, a porch, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, one and a half bathrooms, and a sunroom so a lot of space.

It's close to my hometown. I also like the programs it offers and it has a pretty campus. I knew kids who went there before me too. So that really pulled me in. There are good professors too and others.

The fashion program is the third in the country behind New York and Los Angeles and they gave me scholarships and have a really good program. I also like it because it is no too far away from my home town, but far enough that it gives me the college experience.
