�� and the City of Kent have so much to offer that we can’t cover it all in one visit to campus! As a result, many students and families visit multiple times. Here are a few ways you can make the most of your visit experience at ��.

Just steps away from the Kent Campus, you’ll find locally-owned restaurants, eclectic shops, galleries, the �� Hotel and Conference Center, venues for live music, festivals and more in the true college town of downtown Kent.

Ohio is a state with four distinct seasons throughout the year. Depending on when you plan to visit, please check the local weather and dress accordingly for the best possible visit experience. A sweater or coat may be appropriate during the spring and fall seasons, whereas heavier coats are highly recommended for visits during the winter season.
