University Of Akron

The University of Akron has had troubles over the past five years which include hiring and firing of some of the top staff and retention of a number of key professors in certain departments. Any time a school has this kind of turnover, you need to ask why. The library needs to add a lot of books to allow students to do an adequate job in their research projects for classes. Many of the books are out of date and their are few copies of some of the newest research texts. Parking is tough during certain times of the day, but sometimes you can find a meter on the street in the nearby commercial areas. If you are considering entering the U of Akron, come to the campus and chat with people who are in classes in the department. Some departments have quality instructors, while others have a lot of problems. Do your homework before applying. more

I recently completed my law school degree at the University of Akron. I just loved my experience at the school and would recommend it to anyone. The teachers are down to earth and willing to help all students succeed. The course work is challenging but prepares you to pass the bar. There are many activities and clubs to get involved in and your fellow classmates are open to differences and very friendly and willing to help each other. Also, the price is right for a great education. more

I had fun during my two years of Masters program at the University. It is close to most of the stuff - restaurants, residential area, busstop, public library. It is a very calm and serene environment with all its greenery. The Gardner Student center is the center of attraction of the university. more
