A Halloween mood was in the air and so was a small witch in the skies above Kent State's Kent Campus last week. {"preview_thumbnail":"/s3/files/styles/video_embed_wysiwyg_preview/public/video_thumbnails/1133195322.jpg?itok=LnHfUjPW","video_url":"https://vimeo.com/1133195322","settings":{"responsive":true,"width":"854","height":"480","autoplay":false,"title_format":"@provider | @title","title_fallback":true,"loading":"lazy"},"settings_summary":["Embedded Video (Responsive)."]}The drone-lifted witch was guided by Amy Alrutz, a member of Kent State's undergraduate class of 2025, who is curre...
Bubbling chemicals, fog and FIRE were all part of the festive fun at the fifth annual Chem-O-Ween event, hosted by Kent State's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry on Oct. 24 in Williams Hall and the Integrated Sciences Building.

Making Payment and If You Miss Housing Application for Returning Students
The $150 Initial Housing payment
The $150 Initial Housing Payment will secure a room for the 2027-2028 academic year. This payment is NOT a fee, nor is it a refundable security deposit. The $150 Initial Housing Payment will be credited towards your fall housing charges and will be reflected on your student account as a credit.
Roommates and Suitemates
Choosing a Roommate
A roommate request isn’t confirmed until the other student has mutually requested you. To make a roommate request, you will need to provide your future roommate’s last name and Kent State University email address. Once a request is confirmed, the first roommate to select a room in March is given the option to assign the requested roommate in the new fall room with them. You are unable to request a new incoming student to be your roommate if they have not fully submitted their application.
How Housing Application for Returning Students Works
What should I know if I want to stay in the same hall for next year?
Students interested in staying in the same hall for the upcoming academic year will have first preference to secure a room in their current hall for next year. Renew to My Hall is NOT an option for students living in the Eastway area, Koonce Hall, or students living in Stopher and Johnson Halls or Centennial Court B who are not admitted to the College of Honors and Global Education. The above areas are for new incoming students or for theme communities only.
Important Changes for 2027-2028
There are changes in some residence halls with respect to student eligibility and process. Please read carefully, as some of these changes could affect you.
Centennial Court B Reminder:
Beginning Fall 27, all of Centennial Court B will be part of the Honors Residential Experience. Honors students currently living in Centennial Court B will be able to select the Renew to My Hall option. Beginning fall 27, non-honors students (including non-honors roommate requests of honors students) will not have the option of returning to Centennial Court B.
