WOOHOOO!!!! Alma mater what! I finished my undergrad here and also attended graduate school here. I would've found it hard to go elsewhere after seeing this campus for the first time.
I loved KSU. The campus is gorgeous and so full of history. Many more green pastures than its next door neighbor the University of Akron. Because of the vast size of campus in order to give some character, the buildings could be a little far apart, but it was worth it in my opinion. Some of those walks and the people watching that occurred were epic.
My professors, particularly in graduate school were amazing and it was fairly easy to find the resources one needed to study or do anything else for that matter. We had our share of fun festivals (we all know the Black Squirrel should be the mascot right?) and campus activities. One of my favorites was the Wyclef concert, though now I'm probably dating myself.
There's lots to do in the vicinity and always something going on around campus. I mean come on... Eastway Center has a bowling alley (or did).
The Ratt in the basement of the student center is always a good time. I had a few review sessions with professors and classmates down there while enjoying a brew.
Drew Carey bought shots for everyone at one of the local bars once.. but now I'm just name dropping :)
