What impressed you positively?

"Kent State's student ambassadors were amazingly helpful. They were both tour guides and available to answer questions. I appreciated their honesty when answering questions the most. I felt they were passionate about Kent State but not enough to cloud their judgement about the school or their experiences. They also pride themselves on their family-like community which was evident in the tour. Everyone said "hello" to one another, even the professors." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?
