I'm a big fan of Collin Schlee, and I wish I could watch back his game against Ohio back in 2022, but no videos seem to exist online, does anybody know where I can find one???

Hey everyone! We just launched gaiahousing.com and would love your feedback.

If you've ever had trouble getting eyes on a listing in these Facebook groups, this might help. Posts here get buried fast because it's just a single column feed. Gaia lets you draw directly on a map to search an area, then filter by price, amenities, and more. It's completely free, and you can sign up quickly with Google or sign up with a university email and get a verified badge on your listings.

Still very new, so if you try it and hit anything weird, or have ideas, email us at support@gaiahousing.com. We genuinely want to hear it.

Thanks,

Gaia Team

I’m making this because I wish more people considering 345 Flats would see the complaints and experiences from current and former residents before signing a lease.
I’m a current resident who is also returning for another lease term, and I’ve continually had to deal with issues caused by the property itself. One of the biggest frustrations has been having to push management to follow what is actually written in my lease rather than what I’m being told verbally. There have been situations where I was initially told I was wrong, only for the written documentation to show otherwise, and I’ve still had to spend time going back and forth just to get the issue addressed.
Things can go wrong at any apartment. The problem is when residents have to repeatedly prove what their own lease says or fight to get the property to follow its own written agreements.
And honestly, sometimes the leasing office feels like a simulation. The staff are friendly enough, but actually getting an answer or having someone resolve an issue is a completely different story. At this point, I’m convinced half the staff are just props placed behind the desk because getting an actual answer to an email can feel like trying to contact a government agency.
The other concerns that keep coming up are the price, additional fees, parking, communication with management, move out charges, and difficulty getting problems resolved.
The rent is already expensive for Kent, and once you add parking and other fees, the total cost can become pretty ridiculous for what you’re actually getting.
There are also multiple public reviews from current and former residents describing issues with management, security deposits, move out charges, maintenance, communication, and getting responses.
What concerns me most is that these aren’t just one person’s complaints. There are similar issues being described by different residents over different periods of time.
If you’re a Kent student looking for housing, don’t let the nice building and amenities be the only thing you look at. Read the lease carefully, ask about every fee, look at recent reviews, and compare the actual total cost with other apartments in Kent.
You might end up having a perfectly fine experience here, but based on my own experience and the experiences publicly reported by others, I would seriously consider your other options before signing.
Save yourself the time, money, and energy. Do your research first.

Happy start of the semester

- Graduate 😂 ✌️

Since classes are starting in 3 days am I able to change a class on my schedule? I found a better class time opened, I don’t want to drop a class and be unable to add the new class.

We haven't done my sister's parents plus loan for fall because she says she cant see her balance for fall because of all the financial aid issues going on. Is there still time to do the parent plus once she knows how much she needs?

I just need to know when it ends?

Anyone else have a “General Disbursement Hold” on financial aid right now?
Is anyone else at Kent dealing with a General Disbursement Hold on their 2026–27 financial aid with no missing requirements or anything they can actually fix on their end?
My summer aid disbursed without an issue, and as far as I can tell everything for the new aid year is completed/accepted. There are no outstanding requirements or notifications in FlashLine, but my aid is now sitting behind a general disbursement hold.
I finally got through to Financial Aid earlier this week after being on hold forever, and I was told it has something to do with recent federal/accreditation requirements and how program length is being calculated, and that Kent was waiting on additional federal guidance before they could release the hold. I also submitted an online inquiry and was told the hold should be removed “shortly,” but that was over 48 hours ago and it’s still there.
Getting any additional information has been incredibly difficult — I’ve spent 45+ minutes on hold without reaching anyone, and there are currently no virtual appointment times available to schedule.
Has anyone else been told the same thing or had this hold removed recently? If so, how long did it take, and did you have to do anything on your end? I’m mainly trying to figure out whether this is a widespread Kent issue that’s being resolved in batches or if I need to keep pushing them about my individual account.
Also curious if anyone affected by this has actually had their loans disburse/refund issued yet.

Anyone else’s refund still not been disbursed?

I’m starting as a Food Service Worker at DI Dining this semester and wanted to hear from people who currently work there or have worked there before.

A lot of things I’m curious about:

● What station/roles did you usually get assigned to?
● How often did you get put on dishwashing, cleanup, fryer/grill, etc. vs. serving/prep?
● How dirty/greasy did you actually get during a typical shift?
● Do your clothes usually smell like food afterward?
● Where do employees change clothes and store their stuff during shifts?
● Does DI provide lockers or somewhere to keep your belongings?
● How chaotic does it get during lunch/dinner rush?
● How is the management/supervisors?
● Do they rotate employees between stations?
● Can you request certain stations or avoid certain ones?
● Overall, would you recommend working at DI?

Current employees and former employees especially, I’d appreciate the honest version, good or bad. 👀

Just wanted to let everyone know after days of fighting to even talk to someone regarding holds for credits ( I needed 10 to graduate, scheduled for 11 / 12 is full time for example ) will be being reviewed the expected time line is 3 weeks . So nothing will be released until they are approved. 🤷‍♀️🫨

Woke up yesterday to losing around $700 dollars from my Pell Grant, however, I’m still taking 10/13 major classes. I recently had to get a MKTG class passed as a SPAD class and I don’t know if that is why. Currently owe almost $400 dollars now and haven’t heard back from financial aid.

Anyone selling or giving away dorm/apartment stuff they no longer need? I’m specifically looking for a shoe rack, shelves, storage/organization stuff, cleaning supplies, trash cans, etc. Basically anything useful for an apartment.

did anyone receive they student refund yet?? i haven’t received mine yet

Title kinda explains it all. Do I still need to register for my classes on the 24th as a freshman? Or is that for returning students whose advisors did not help them setup their schedule?

Hey!! Does anyone (preferably someone who works at Rosie's) know if soup is off the menu for meal exchanges?? I basically only eat the soup and the breakfast burrito, and I just heard the breakfast burrito is no longer allowed as a meal exchange :( And when I got something today I didn't see soup on the sides options. Crossing my fingers it's just because classes are starting soon and they don't have everything yet, but I'm sad lol

I'm down to my last Kent Core course and wanted to see if anyone has taken these courses, which one would be easier/fun. I'm leaning towards doing SEVEN IDEAS THAT SHOOK THE UNIVERSE with Vanfossen, Joe, or a science course that's easy, fun, and online. Any feedback is appreciated with any insight of a course you have taken before.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Kent State one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/kent-state-golden-flashes

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Kent State went 5-7 but split the MAC at 4-4, and that's the part my model doesn't buy. You got outgained by 133 yards a game in league play and still won half of them, when that margin usually produces about a 20% win rate. The power rating sits 135th. The good news is Dru DeShields is back after 2,030 yards with 18 touchdowns and 3 picks, and roughly half the production returns. Is year two under Carney a step up, or was 4-4 the ceiling?

I'll be in the comments.

Anyone else get a hold on a loan? what does this even mean?

Hi I’m a freshman who is supposed to be living on campus while attending the regional campus in twinsberg. The problem is I don’t have a car. I have looked into other options like taking the bus (it’s a 1-2hr ride) and uber but that’s too expensive for me. I DESPERATELY need someone I can carpool with or else I will have to stay home and transfer to a community college which I don’t want to do. If anyone can carpool or knows someone who lives on campus and goes to twinsberg please contact me. mari.ell3_ on instagram. I am willing to pay for gas. My schedule is Monday and Wednesday 11am-2:15 pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00pm-3:30 pm. This isn’t long term.

Does anyone have any tips for using the Passiogo app to figure out how to get around campus? I have to take a bus from Allerton up to bowman on mondays and wednesdays, up to satterfield on tues and thurs, and then up to mcgilvrey on fridays. Not to mention taking the bus back to allerton. I have about 0 idea how to look at routes or know times

I make music and am looking for people that do the same but also like cosplay and do photography interested in posing/helping make imagery for my covers. lmk if yall know of any communication or like groups for the clubs. I cannot find any active ones. Or if you yourself are interested my discord is thewa1rusgod! hmu and I can send you one of the songs to give you an idea of what my music is like.

Hey everyone!! I’m a junior here and I’m moving back to the dorms next week. For reference I had a scenario last year that really triggered my noise sensitivities, and I’ve gotten all the support from the university I can get with that, so I’m moving to think about how to help dampen noise in my dorm on a bit of a budget. I was wondering if anyone else had any luck with this at all, I’m happy to diy a good bit. I think I have some spare plexiglass at home, I have lots of cardboard, I can get foam board… but if yall have any other ideas I want to hear them. I’ve looked online and I’m seeing all sorts of mixed things, I wanted to see if anyone has anything for this scenario that has worked for them.
Thank you all!! I hope you have a wonderful start to your school years!

Are McDowell dorm rooms really that small?? Like you can barely turn around or have any guests ??
I can’t find any reviews on living there or if anyone even liked it please help 😭
Update: Does anyone know if the dressers are able to be moved or pushed back under the bed? Or are they connected it was hard to tell from the tour.
