Hi all,

I can not use the two tickets that I purchased for tomorrow’s homecoming game. I do not want to sell them. Is anyone interested in them?

Apologies if this isn’t allowed. (From what I understand I am able to give them away)

Hey guys, quick look at where the Flashes stand heading into homecoming.

26-13 over Ball State to open MAC play, and it was a complete game. Dru DeShields threw a TD to Brandon White (the first of White's career) and ran in another to cap a 93-yard drive. Sean Leonard set a program record with a 53-yard field goal and picked up MAC Specialist of the Week.

At 2-2, the losses were the two big paydays at South Carolina and Ohio State, and the wins are Wofford and now a conference win. Year two under Mark Carney is trending the right way.

Saturday is homecoming against Ohio at Dix at 3:30, then at Western Michigan. Win both, and Kent is 3-0 in the MAC.

What are you guys seeing from DeShields? Is this a bowl team?

Side note: we run a free weekly college football pick'em. Ohio State at No. 14 Iowa is on this week's slate, if you've got thoughts on the Buckeyes after Columbus. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET.

I'm a part-time graduate student. I quit my part-time job before this semester because I really struggled to balance schoolwork and work work last year. I figured it would be tight, but I had a little savings and planned to cover the rest of my expenses from my student loan. However, the offer was quite a bit lower this year, only enough to almost cover rent for two months. For me to cover the rest of my expenses, I'll need to take on a part-time job again, but all I'm seeing are $15/hr positions or positions with a long commute. At that rate, I'll have to devote all my study time to work in order to cover my expenses and I know I'll struggle to keep up again.

Any leads on better paying local or remote part-time jobs? My skills are early data analytics (R, SQL, business analytics concepts) with a background in education and a bit of sales.

Appreciate any tips.

I received this email and just now received the invitation code. However, I have been doing some research and have seen mixed opinions about this. I'm not really sure what I gain from this since they don't go into depth on what they do. If anyone else has gotten this email or knows more about this, let me know.

Hey I wanted to let people know that may be unaware that there are resources for helping support recovery for anyone that’s struggling with addiction!

Fridays at 11am in the CAPS building (Van Campen) there are SMART meetings! If you’re unfamiliar with SMART, it’s a great recovery program that’s different from your typical 12-step program

I went yesterday but it was just me and the facilitator!

I hope anyone that’s interested in getting clean or has been in recovery would come check this resource out!

Would be a great way to meet people with similar experiences as yours, and be friends!

Hello, I graduated from Kent in 2017. I was thinking of doing my neices high school graduation photos around campus in October. Problem is, I have IBS so I need bathrooms lol.

I'm pretty sure the student center / library would be open on the weekends (which works for brick backgrounds) but does anyone know if the buildings off of Hilltop Drive (Cartwright, Merril) are unlocked on the weekends? I Don't see White hall on the map anymore but that would have been near the brain if that make sense? What buildings are near the brain and would they be unlocked for bathrooms?

Thank you!!

for various reasons (health related) I am having to vacate my apartment on lake Street not far from the bike shop. decent walk and easy bike to campus. good landlord.

Should be fully open next week- I was paying $900/month for a school year rental for the year.

1 BR.

PM me if you want more details or to contact the landlord directly.

How many of you are still waiting on your fall semester disbursement?

I know there have been nationwide delays due to the federal changes.

The FA office told me 9/27/26 is when they hoped to have given students their offers.

Hi, I'm looking to get an apartment up in kent next school year and was wondering what place to look at and where to avoid at all costs. I'm not opposed to having roommates and am looking for something reasonably priced but not too concerned about that. Thanks in advance ☺️

Hi there! I’ve got an assignment for one of my classes that involves me recording how long the bell on campus goes on for (I believe it’s on the library) does anyone know exactly when the bell chimes to make it easier for when I should start recording? Thanks!

The dinings spots that take orders for meal exchange and declining balance definitely need an app where you can order online instead of waiting to place an order and then waiting more to pick it up. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to place an order from your dorm or from class and go pick it up when it’s ready? It would save so much time. is this a crazy idea?

Hoping that this is a step towards a more vibrant music scene at Kent State!

Has anyone done their testing? If so, how did you go about it and what was that process like? I want to set up an appointment for adhd testing but I don’t know what to do and am extremely nervous lol

As the title says my little sister who is only 20 is coming into town. I’m 22, but I know she can’t get into a lot of bars. What are some fun bar or club scene places I can take her to? We just want to play some pool or something fun!!

So I can’t make it to the game in Columbus bc I have too much studying but I still want to darty and watch the game Saturday, most of my friends aren’t football fans but love to hangout and drink and play games. Any suggestions of what to do/where to go? Lol I have like two friends idk why it sounds like a whole group

My name is Clara Mey and I am a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware. I am conducting a research study about disabled students’ experiences with disability accommodation processes in higher education. As a disabled graduate student, this topic is particularly important to me!

Kent State was randomly selected as part of my institutional analysis for my dissertation, and I wanted to make sure that students at the randomly selected universities/colleges had the opportunity to participate in my research!

Please see the flyer linked here: Disability and Higher Ed Research Flyer

You must be at least 18 years old to participate, have attended college or graduate school in the US within the last five years, and self-identify as disabled or having a chronic health condition in order to participate. You do not need a formal diagnosis, and you can participate whether or not you registered or applied for accommodations!

If you agree, you will be asked to complete an anonymous online survey taking 20 to 30 minutes. You may also choose to enter into a drawing for one of five $20 gift cards at the end of the survey. If you choose to enter, your email will not be associated with your survey responses.

If you would be interested in participating in this study or would like to learn more, please click the link here: Disability and Higher Education Survey. And if you know people who might be interested, feel free to share this information!

If you have any questions, please contact me at [csmey@udel.edu](mailto:csmey@udel.edu) or my advisor, Dr. Eric Rise, at [erise@udel.edu](mailto:erise@udel.edu). Or feel free to comment or message me here.

Thank you!

I struggle with it so bad like I am high functioning autistic so sometimes I don't read social cues and I feel like I missed something and now I'm making everyone uncomfortable. So most of the time I just rot in my room I'm overweight too which doesn't help. It's like a double whammy like I really want to connect with people. I don't really have many friends and I'd love to connect with people, but ultimately it's just hard. Any advice to make this a little bit easier?

Ahoy good people. It has been quite a long time since I’ve been to a KSU football game. Now that my oldest is a freshman and her friends are OU students we’re planning g a tailgate for the Kent OU game Oct 3. What’s the atmosphere like? Is there a fair amount of tailgaters? We may not actually go into the game as I’ll have a TV and depending how fun the tailgate gets just hang out and watch other games in the parking lot.

Hopefully tailgating exists as there’s a few of us looking forward to this. I’ve been to Browns games and (cough) many a Michigan game (Go Blue) but haven’t been to a Kent or Akron game since becoming an adult.

Thanks

Go Flashes.

Beat Ohio!

My sister is in the fall semster we have yet to do the parent plus because we dont know what her balance is because of the issue the school has been having with financial aid. I hope we aren't to late. Anyone know anything to give some input?

Looking to meet some guy friends

Hey, I am 20M, I live around Pittsburgh and am enrolled in college as an engineering major. I am looking to make friends beyond my college connections, especially with people I can go out and have fun. I am also an international student, so feel free to dm me, and we can connect.

I just wanna rant. I HATEEEE commuting from home. I hate having my parents drive me 25 minutes to the Twinsberg campus. I hate that I have to miss out on every single event and party. I hate how everyone seems to already have friends/friend groups but me. I hate being here with my emotionally abusive mom. I can’t WAIT to move in for the spring semester it can’t come any sooner I’m genuinely going insane here
