Student Ratings
Abbigail Wright Student at This School - Grad Year 2015
When you are taking your Kent Core classes, you are most likely to be in a lecture class with hundreds of students. But as you get more into your major courses, the classes are much smaller with a caring atmosphere. Everyone WANTS to be there!
Tom Beer Alumnus - Grad Year 1970
I don't know how to compare with other colleges since this is the only one I have attended. Small town life suited me plenty. Class sized were small and generally the professors did a good job.
