50 Things Kent State Students Hate About Kent State

It seems that Kent State students love to brag about how great their university is and talk about all things wonderful at Kent State. That's all great, but there are some things that everyone is thinking, but no one wants to say. These are all the annoying aspects of Kent that the students actually hate. I asked 50 students to tell me one thing they hate about our college and these are the responses that I got.

I hate:

1. That Kent can never freakin' clear the sidewalks or roads.
