Earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Akron. What a garbage commuter school. School does nothing for students or helping with job placement. I wish I would have gone to Kent State Stark Campus for first two years, and saved money. Don't go here all four years; you're a fool if you do. Thankfully I worked contacts to land an excellent job. The fact I had an engineering degree cinched career for me, not that it was from Akron. This place is simply the worst. I should have spent extra on a degree from Case Western, or saved money at Kent - Stark Branch.
A very beautiful and small campus with nice infrastructure however I would not recommend it to anyone who would not be a commuter. There are not that many great things to do on a campus compared to other campuses. The rec is very nice and its nice how all my classes are close to each other. Some professors are horible yet at the same time ive had some amazing professors. The worst thing ive found is creating a schedule here. For most of my classes there is only one or two options to take and as a result my schedule is a complete mess with classes late at night, long periods of time in between, and even had days where i had class from early in morning to late at night.
I do not have anything negative to say about the University of Akron. Quality education taught by quality professors.
Got in my first fender bender on campus last night and the officer could not have been nicer about the entire situation. He made sure I was okay and took me somewhere to sit with me until my parents arrived for over an hour. I don’t think I could have gotten a better officer for my situation. Thank you UAPD and my officer for all you did for me!!
If I could give this school no stars I would, they lied to me the entire time when attempting to get me to come to the school. I work full time and I am an adult so I was looking for evening classes or possibly weekend classes. I just finished at tri- c and was looking for the same flexibility due to my work schedule. Informed this to the many academic councilors that I had spoken with and all of them stated yes that the University could accommodate me but they can’t tell me which classes are offered at what time until I speak with a scheduling councilor. I don’t mind the payment to apply but then they also make you pay for orientation. So I attend orientation and it’s supposed to last for majority of the day, I meet with the councilor and he proceeds to tell me he can enroll me in 1 class and that maybe I should go part time because ALL of the rest of my classes are during the day.....I immediately leave and ask for a refund and they have been dodging me ever since. I am not expecting the refund for applying but I was blatantly lied to and they won’t refund my money. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME...ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY!!!
