I'm not sure how to PM so I will just reply on here. I've heard good things about Marymount. A nurse I was paired with in clinical did their program and had great things to say. KSU is disorganized among other things. In my opinion, their program was a 4 semester nightmare of professors who were disrespectful and dismissive of student concerns. At one point, the director of the program actually told our entire class "If you don't like it you can leave. You knew what you were getting into." rather than actually addressing student problems. There were 2-3 professors who were helpful and genuine but the overwhelming majority were not. Obviously, the program is doable. You can get through it and do well. If money is a concern then you have to make the decision that's best for you. However, I will say that now that I've graduated from the program I have NO desire to be a nurse. The attitude of Kent State and my experience there sucked every ounce of passion and excitement I had to work toward a career in nursing. I certainly don't stand alone in saying that.

I finished the program at Kent. Without getting into detail... I will tell you that I, along with a overwhelming number of people I know who were in this program, would recommended going ANYWHERE else. In general, to do well in the program all you have to do is memorize your powerpoint slides. Good luck.

I am from a Cleveland suburb and moved near campus for the program. If you need any suggestions for apartments I'd be more than happy to help you. I love the complex I moved into. It is quiet and almost brand new. It takes me about 5 minutes to get to campus.

I am in my first semester of the accelerated program and Kent and it is great! I was torn between CSU and Kent as well but I am so glad I ended up at Kent. Message me if you have any specific questions.

i wish i had seen this sooner! are any of you moving around or near campus? i am moving to an apartment off campus but from the few people i talked to at the meeting to register for classes it seems like no one else is planning on actually living in kent.
