Receptionist, Kent State University

There’s plenty to see and do within easy walking distance of the Kent Campus. Follow the Lefton Esplanade to experience a city renaissance of new restaurants and specialty shops that have brought a renewed energy to Kent’s already vibrant downtown.

Kent State University is committed to protecting life and property, maintaining the peace and ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for students, faculty, staff and guests of the university.

Whether you’re a current student, parent, visitor or considering attending Kent State University, you need to be able to get around campus.

We want to help you find the living and learning environment that will feel like “home” while you’re on campus. A community where you feel supported and empowered to thrive! 

Dining at Kent State is more than just exceptional food. It's an entire community get-together geared towards culinary expertise, fresh ingredients, healthy options and a collective sense of environmental and social responsibility.
