Research opportunities after completion of my master's program were good. The faculties within the master's program also help you in getting good placement opportunities.

I chose overall 3 colleges for my study abroad based on my tuition fee structure, course curriculum, and duration of my master's program in the US. I got accepted in all 3 and Kent State University was one among them. I prefer moving to Kent State because of the spring session start of my master's program. I was able to start early so that’s the reason I preferred moving to Kent, Ohio for my master's program.

Active reading work is done , many professors provide graduate assistantships.

I chose Kent State University because it aligned to my budget , they have very good masters programs , their research work is very good and it is public university with beautiful campus.

Nothing much; in USA the placements are completely dependent on the student. Everyone has to build a profile, build a resume, learn new things, and always have knowledge of the latest technologies.

It was pretty good, my journey at kent state university went very peaceful and neat.

We have to find jobs on our own, and coming to research opportunities, professors are ready to fund but we have to do Phd.

I would not say the best, but this is a reasonable university with good studies, and good faculty.

The placement opportunities are pretty decent . A lot of events and job fairs are held to help in networking.

My overall experience at Kent state university has been a very pleasant one. My stay in Kent has nurtured me into an independent individual. My spectrum of imagination and application has been broadened because of the knowledge I gained at KSU.

It's not that great. I've seen classmates struggle to get internships and after college jobs which makes nervous when I look for my job when I graduate.

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.
