Ohio's Rising
College Town
There's plenty to see and do within easy walking distance of the Kent Campus.
Follow the Lefton Esplanade to downtown Kent, Ohio's #1 college town. Just steps from Kent State's walkable campus, it offers locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, live music, festivals, outdoor recreation and year-round events that make it easy to feel at home. And when you're ready to explore beyond campus, Cleveland and Akron are just a short drive away for internships, entertainment and professional opportunities.
