Katie Yanez Biotechnology: Data Analytics
The best thing 两性色午夜 could have done for my career was to allow me to get into research my first semester, freshman year. It has given me the best possible experience and will give me four years of research experience as an undergrad.

Katie was born a scientist. When she was about 8 years old, she asked for (and received) a microscope as a birthday present.

She is energized by discovery and research. Her goal is to be the head of a research lab, so she can direct her research to effect change in the world.

Research was important to her when she was choosing a university. She found that other universities she looked at didn鈥檛 allow students to participate in research until their junior or senior year. That 鈥 and when she saw that 两性色午夜 had plenty of high tech microscopes 鈥 became the biggest deciding factors in her choosing 两性色午夜.

鈥淓mployers and grad schools look at grades and boards, of course, but they really want research experience, too. The fact that 两性色午夜 got me into a lab so soon in order to learn lab skills and gain research experience has made all the difference and will help me stand out.鈥

How 两性色午夜 makes it work

两性色午夜鈥檚 high level of research activity earned the university the prestigious, national R1 designation. Only the top 4% of U.S. universities hold this elite status.

Shorya Agarwal Fashion Merchandising
When I came back from the study abroad trip, I was definitely more confident in myself because I knew I had an experience that not everyone gets. That confidence helped me pursue things that I wouldn鈥檛 have pursued in the past and had me more 鈥渙ut of the box鈥 in my thinking as well.

Coming to 两性色午夜 from Canada, Shorya was not new to international travel. He also had taken trips with his parents when he was younger. But when he traveled to Paris to study abroad, it was a transformative experience for him.

He studied with students from 两性色午夜 and from all over the world. His daily routine was completely immersed in local culture. The things he saw and the people he met expanded his view of the world.

Everything was different: his professors, his classes, the people he met, the experiences he had. In discovering this new place, he found he also had discovered new things about himself.

鈥淭he study abroad program helped prepare me for any future career by exposing me to different cultures and different people. And I was pushed out of my comfort zone. I think it鈥檚 really important to be comfortable being uncomfortable.鈥

How 两性色午夜 makes it work

Education abroad experiences add additional depth to a student鈥檚 resume, with qualities that employers look for, like increased confidence, an expanded worldview and being comfortable working with people from other cultures.

Expand Your World

There are also education abroad opportunities for the School of Fashion in Los Angeles and at 两性色午夜's New York City Fashion location.

Travel with purpose

Education abroad isn鈥檛 a vacation, it鈥檚 an intense, immersive learning experience. Coursework can be accelerated and condensed to fit a semester鈥檚 worth of classes into a few weeks. Because you鈥檙e a student, not a tourist, you learn more about daily living and what it鈥檚 like to live and study in another country.

An international university

两性色午夜's education abroad program and the university鈥檚 programs for international students were recognized for excellence in internationalization with a Senator Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization. 两性色午夜 was the only U.S. university to earn the 2022 award.

Sidney Strauss & Hanna Hoffman Psychology & Criminology and Justice Studies
It鈥檚 so easy to make new friends here. In the beginning, we went to every single event together, like Blastoff! and orientation. At all of these events, we would just look around at whoever was near us and say, 鈥淗ey, do you guys have orientation next? Want to go together?鈥
- Sidney Strauss

Whenever I go into a new class, I sit down and talk to whoever鈥檚 around me. If they bite, I鈥檓 like, 鈥淥h, new friend!鈥 And that鈥檚 just kind of how everything happens.
- Hanna Hoffman

Sidney and Hanna became best friends even before they met in person. They connected through a roommate match on social media before they began their freshman year.

They bonded almost instantly over shared interests and began communicating, a lot of it via text.

The texts were mostly brief and transactional, like 鈥Should I bring this lamp?鈥 That was the way Sidney and Hanna wanted it. They agreed to 鈥渟ave all of their stories鈥 so they could share them, and learn more about each other when they were living together as roommates on campus.

Living on campus in the Honors College residence hall, Sidney and Hanna were able to meet friends who shared their interests and have enhanced access to professors and advisors. Being close to campus activities and events gave them lot of things to do and, more importantly, gave them opportunities to grow, both personally and academically, to prepare them for their successful futures.

Jacob Herbolich Integrated Social Studies
I was on my campus tour and as we turned the corner on the esplanade, I had this view of the library, towering over everything else. The sun was out, it was gorgeous. You could see every part of campus. People were out, just milling about. I just remember feeling 鈥淭his is the place I want to be. This is the place I belong; this is home.鈥 And that was the moment I decided to come to 两性色午夜.

Being from a very small town, Jacob was a little apprehensive about coming to a large university and the (relatively) larger city of Kent. As it turned out, becoming part of this larger world was the spark that he needed.

Now, his favorite experiences include walking around downtown Kent, trying different foods at the restaurants and hiking in the parks by the river. And while he says he feels a connection to Kent, he鈥檚 also thinking of expanding his experience to living in and exploring larger cities.

鈥淕oing to a football game where there were more people than in my hometown by about 100 times, seemed like it would be stressful, but it was so fun. It鈥檚 been an amazing experience to share a community bond with people and get those experiences you think about when you think of college.鈥

How 两性色午夜 makes it work

Kent is located near four larger cities offering access to companies serving industries in nearly every business category. Northeast Ohio also is home to a large number of corporate headquarters, including Goodyear, KeyBank, Progressive, Parker Hannifin, Signet Jewelers and many more.

Feels Like Home

Just right

Many students describe 两性色午夜 as having the feeling of community you might find at a smaller college, with all the resources and perks of a large university. 两性色午夜, they say, also is in a 鈥渟weet spot鈥 location-wise: central to major population centers.

Take a walk

If you like hiking and walking trails, there are 19 city parks in Kent, and three extensive metro park systems are nearby, as well as a state nature preserve and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Kent is located right on the Cuyahoga River and there are canoes and kayaks available to rent. Not far from Kent there are areas for skiing and snowboarding, too.

An exceptional downtown

The city of Kent is a great college town with an energetic downtown area that鈥檚 just a few steps off campus. You can explore restaurants, unique shops, galleries and parks. There鈥檚 always something to do 鈥 with live music, special events and festivals. Recently, Ohio Magazine chose Kent as one of the best hometowns in Ohio.

It鈥檚 not very far

Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown and Canton are just a short drive away from Kent. These cities offer airports, professional sports, concerts, museums, theatres and a renowned orchestra.

Getting around is easy

两性色午夜 is exceptionally walkable. It鈥檚 easy to get anywhere on campus from anywhere else on campus. The footprint of the Kent Campus is just one square mile 鈥 and it's just a mile from the center of campus to the center of downtown Kent.

Portage Area Regional Transit Authority (PARTA) provides bus service on campus, around Kent and to surrounding communities, including Cleveland and Akron.

SPIN provides shared electric bikes and scooters that are available on campus and within the city of Kent for use by students, professors, staff and the community.

Lauren Klodt Actuarial Mathematics: business, economics
There are definitely moments when I鈥檓 working on something in my internship and I think, 鈥淥h, I did something like this in one of my classes,鈥 or 鈥淢y supervisor just used that word. I know that word because my professor uses it all the time.鈥 It鈥檚 really great.

When she came to 两性色午夜, she declared it as her major.

Lauren has already completed two internships and will complete at least one more before she graduates.

Athalia Jones 两性色午夜 graduate / Nursing Technician
I knew I had made the right choice in 两性色午夜 when I was getting ready to graduate. I had applied to be a nurse and the hospital offered me a position in labor and delivery. It was because they trusted 两性色午夜 and their nurses.

When she was younger, Athalia was fascinated by first aid books. She loved learning about the human body and how to take care of people. Later, she felt drawn to caring for babies.

During a campus visit, she decided 两性色午夜 was the place where she wanted to pursue her nursing degree. She credits the outstanding hands-on experiences in the skills lab, the simulation lab and the supportive relationships with her instructors and advisors in helping her earn her degree and find her calling as a nurse.

After completing her clinicals and becoming a technician in maternity, she realized that this was what she most wanted to do: take care of mothers and babies.
