Campus Resources
We serve as a place for international students to go to get support on campus! If you are a student with questions and don't know where to go, you can come first to Intercultural Student Life. We are here to listen and help you get connected to resources you need on campus.
If you can't or don't want to come in person, you can use the resource list below. This is a non-exhaustive list of resources available to students at Kent State. You can use this when you are looking for solutions to problems you are having or when you're looking for ways to get involved on campus.
