Meet the Kent State Class of 2023

More than 20,000 people applied to be part of Kent State’s Class of 2023, and 4,270 can now consider themselves to be Golden Flashes.

Who are they, and where do they come from?

Three of every 10 students are the first in their families to attend college, while 20% come from 38 states outside of Ohio and from the District of Columbia. The class also includes 82 international students arriving from 29 countries.

A record number of applicants filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and one in six students of the Class of 2023 is considered to be coming from poverty.
