I think our son is going to love this school!! So many free perks as a student here. There were also alot of efforts being made to help students throughout their entire college experience.

Shout out to the University Police force, they keep the kids safe and when need be, in line. Stay safe everyone and have a great year.

Big campus. Everything on the grounds looks clean and nicely maintained.

Very nice campus with flowers and stuff. And theres like, cool, big signs that make the campus look very professionally made. The campus is visually appealing, and theres many clubs to join. The Student Union is like a rich neighbourhood mall.

Akron leaves an impression with you as you venture into your next chapter of life. Take a step and leave your footprint.... you will see the campus as your next bff.

I rode the metro bus and it was nice and sunny. Hardly there wasnt that many riders on the bus tho.

What if you was going to college theres a lot to do a lot of fun things to see if you get a chance walk around the campus and you will be surprised Life is good

Nice campus setting in the middle of downtown Akron, Ohio. Very diverse students and staff, many food choices on and off campus.

Just move in day for the kiddos, its not The Ohio State, but still a very nice university. My daughter loves it.

Nice clean and friendly staff. We loved it

Friendly and helpful. Campus is huge there. Just alone their Financial aid and other rooms that help you get started to school there is a building by itself. They have parking papers so you dont get towed.

Class of 2014 here. I thoroughly enjoyed my four years at UA. I was a short-distance commuter student from Highland Square, but still got a totally “normal” college experience. I had a good group of friends, a solid professional network (to this day), helpful professors, and attended a lot of fun campus events/parties/athletics. For an urban area, the campus is gorgeous and the facilities are relatively new (union, football stadium, wellness center etc.).I graduated on a Saturday and started a high paying job in my field that next Monday. Does it get much better than that? Not if you’re like most of us and going to school to get a job. If that is my measure of my time at Akron, then it was perfect. It was only after graduating that I realized how much my program was recognized nationally for its quality and outcomes.My only complaints were the weather and city; two things of which UA has no control over. The city of Akron is objectively not that nice of the place (look up those reviews), nor is it an easy area to start a good career. Most of the city is dilapidated, low socioeconomic status, dangerous, trashy, heroin-ridden, and lacking opportunity. I was not from Akron, so this was a bit depressing for me. If you’re from NEOH, you’re probably used to this and it won’t effect you. That said, UA is a diamond in the rough in this town. I am male, but I never felt unsafe on the actual campus. Everything around campus is a different story. Be diligent anywhere south of Exchange St.A lot of negative reviews I see on here are from people who needed more hand-holding through the admissions and financial aid processes. NEWS FLASH: Financial aid sucks at every university in the US. It is a federal program and the process is the same everywhere you go. Most financial aid coordinators are paid like $12-$15 an hour, and that is also universal. You need to adjust your expectations for that process or vote for different politicians. I don’t know what else to tell you.All together, I’d recommend UA to most people depending on your field. It’s certainly way better than that other school down I-76 ;)Go Zips!

Excellent university!! Very well organized and always available to help!’

Went to pick up a car that was purchased on auction. With my friend seems like a quiet area nothing special to write about. Just normal..

I went to one of the basketball games. Had a great tickets cheap and affordable. Food farly good. Great place for the FAMILY.Go zips

Nice place to chill and read.

Excellent great soccer team

The football team is still struggling

Its a nice building on the outside and has an amphitheater hidden behind it, but they layout on the inside of the building is confusing at best. Im not really a fan of having to navigate the upper floors for classes, as there is only one hallway at one end that connects all the other hallways. It wasnt good planning for any reason, least of all social distancing. Forget standing 6 feet from anyone, the hallways are too narrow.

Nice university.

Trash like everything else in this town

Im an electrical engineer student at uakron and I can say with certainty that this university is a good one. Or at the very least a gokd for for me and most likely you too.

According to the Business Insider, the University of Akron is considered one of the world’s most renowned Institutions in the field of New Materials and Polymers, and has some of the brightest researchers. Pursuing graduate studies at the University of Akron was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I was fortunate to receive financial support from the University in the form of a graduate teaching assistantship, and was responsible for teaching Chemistry laboratories and courses to undergraduate students. I also served as a Chemistry lecturer to nursing students at the University. I spent 9 semesters as a graduate student and received my PhD in Chemistry. I will cherish forever the memories of the years I spent at the University of Akron.

The University of Akron is the only public university in Ohio with science and engineering courses among the top five public universities in the US News & World Report magazine. The University of Akron started as a small college attached to the body of God and a universal school. In 1913 the University of Akron was transferred to the City of Akron for financial reasons. The University of Akron became a state university in 1967. The University of Akron consists of the Butcher College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Management, the School of Education, the School of Engineering, the School of Art, the School of Law, the School of Nursing, the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, the Honor College, University College, Wayne College, and the University of Saskatchewan. Composition of Mitte College. The University of Akron can award and award more than 200 bachelors degrees and 100 masters and doctoral degrees.

I walked through the campus and accidentally got a bachelors degree. 11/10.

They have taken the precautions to make sure everyone is safe to eat.

Expect a better return on your investment from Trump University! They seem fine taking tuition from students dropping classes because their refund window is MUCH shorter than class drop deadlines! A complete rip-off!

WHY IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICAL-MAZING !!!

Grandson there first week . Good so far

The campus is honestly really beautiful. I went here for my undergraduate degree and am now working on campus (not employed by the university, just located in an outside agencys office here) and I couldnt be happier. There are a lot of really great professors and plenty of things that go on during the semesters on campus.

Absolute garbage. Honestly, attend anywhere but here. These advisers are beyond rude, anything but helpful, and very unorganized. They (advisers) expect NEW students to know what type of questions to ask, rather informing them, because you know... its not like its their JOB, they give attitude, and almost make you feel like your an inconvenience for asking IMPORTANT questions. They dont give you examples on how to properly schedule the classes you NEED for the semester, youre all on your own. I would not recommend anyone to attend this university, save your time, and attend ANY other Ohio college, for a better overall experience, and GUIDANCE.

My alma mater =) Great campus with plenty of green space.

I like it.

Great campus!

The absolute BEST place for both Arts AND Sciences!

Looked nice

We have had such a great experience so far with U of A. As a parent of a freshman this year, this school has been so helpful answering all of our questions and directing us in this entire endeavor. Move in day was easy and well organized. We believe that our son made the right choice by choosing the University of Akron and we are very excited to see where this education will take him. I have a feeling it will ‘Zip’ him into a future of many successes!

This is not a typical college and it is not for everyone. Like anywhere some programs are better than others; make sure you do your research. The challenge of Akron is also one of its assets, no one is going to hold your hand. Many people expect Akron to be a easy school and many programs at Akron are hard. Like the real world, nobody is going to do your work for you. I have had hiring managers tell me that they respect this about Akron alumni. They know that Akron graduates needed to motivate themselves to graduate. If you need extra attention from your professors and want a small community experience, this is not for you. If you want a respected diploma, at a (relatively) low cost, and need flexibility with class schedules, Akron may be for you.

This campus is one of the most unsafe I have had the displeasure of being on, I have lived here for 2 years now and there have been numerous break-ins a few violent disputes that Firearms have been involved with and the campus is scattered in a shotgun formation so that walking to class can take up to 25 minutes even if you live in the dorms. They have a nice gym thats about the only good thing I can say about the University of Akron, horrible School horrible town and horrible people, I would not recommend going here the price is not worth what you pay for.

The educational experience was fine, even exceptional at times! However, Ive had to personally fight back overcharges to my tuition every semester. In addition, while I admire their dedication on staying open to serve their students, recently theyve shown blatant disregard for their commuters and safety in times of inclement weather. Further, they see fit to insult the responding concerns of these adults they claim to serve. In all, while I will finish my degree at this University, their condescending responses to student issues in addition to some recent changes to the course structure may prevent me from recommending this University to others in the future.

A great University.Nice place, facilities, research and mainly very sweet people.As far as EE department is concerned, very good funding opportunities, great learning and good professors. Not recommended for someone who just wants a Degree with no real effort to learn and succeed.

Akron gets a bad rap and a lot of people talk bad about it but it is a better school than its reputation would lead you to believe. First, the majority of people who blame the school for their lack of success are lazy. It is a lot easier to blame the institution for your lack of learning instead of studying and being accountable for your own success. Just like anything in life, you get out what you put in. I spent 4 years on this campus; at the union, in the dorms, classroom halls, the library and rec. The union and rec are gorgeous but the library could use some TLC. Overall, the facilities are great and the majority of the teachers do care and will go the extra mile. But, then again I had teachers who could care less. My adviser was also horrid and I sensed that she truly did not want me to succeed which is definitely a negative. But, I made it into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Mount Union thanks to my education here. Akron is a good school and a good value. GO ZIPS!!!

Everyone has their own experiences from which to base their opinions, and we do not discount such feelings. From our experience, the care, expertise, professional conduct, and individual interest shown through the financial aid office has been outstanding!Overall, the University shows great interest and individual concern for the well-being of their students. We highly recommend the University of Akron!

MacDonalds of Education. Im finishing up a year teaching here. A lot of students (see reviews below) came for fun times, not education -- and it shows. The administration is of the mindset bigger is better. The failure rate is huge. Class sizes are often enormous, ensuring that instructors cant help the students. Instead, they are helped by other students. Many students take classes which are designed for general education and count it towards their major. This is not a quality educational institution. Academically, Id rate it at the bottom of seven schools I taught at.

Unfortunately, I had the same experience as Meredith, with the same result. I havent attended classes for several years here, yet I received a $500 charge for a class I never took. After speaking with them on the phone, I was told to fill out a form to have the charges reversed. I sent in the form, and did not receive a response from the university, but instead received a collections notice for the fee.Regardless of this issue, if you are looking for a university in the same general area, Kent State offers a better campus, with more things to do in the area, along with a more helpful staff in my experience.

The University of Akron has some aspects that are commendable and others that are in desperate need of change:Positives:There are some brilliant professors teaching here that really want to see their students ameliorate and flourish.The Polymer Science building and the engineering research has kept Akron relevant and innovative.Negatives: The PARKING situation needs to be improved. I speak for a great deal of students who think that the new football stadium was wasteful and should not have been created; a parking deck would have made much more sense.The university is also located downtown and near some sketchy areas. There is a fair amount of homeless individuals (some with mental illness) near or on the campus. There is some crime which usually includes robbery. What saddens me is that many of the cheap, dilapidated apartments that they offer off-campus students are usually targets because they are near the hood. I would never live in the majority of the off-campus housing because it is far too dangerous. I commuted and also lived in a dorm (until it became to expensive).Academically, there were some challenging courses but I like work that is applicable. All the electives and rudimentary work could be replaced with CORE work to get people graduating and into their work lives. I could speak on and on about the ways in which this university could be improved. However, I am glad I was able to get an education at all and am looking forward to going to graduate school elsewhere.

Nice urban university. Well integrated within the city landscape.

Professors, directors and deans don’t advocate and try to help students. Instead they tell you how much you can and cannot handle. DO NOT TAKE THE ACCELERATED NURSING PROGRAM OR ANY NURSING PROGRAM here

I came to the University for a masters because my first University professor did his post doctoral work at Akron and loved it. While I was working on my masters I actually obtained another Bachelors. I enjoyed many professors and also tutored Calculus while I was there. You get out of college what you put into it.

Like my second home. 😁

I had a great time in undergrad and grad at the University of Akron. I loved my Exercise Science/Physiology program. Great professors, knowledge and hands on experience. My only negative comment is the horrible impact and negative press the university received due to President Scarborough (who recently stepped down, thank God!).

I graduated in 1995 and had a great experience here. I got my BFA in Graphic Design and have had a great career from the result in my education. I also was in Phi Delta Theta, Ohio Epsilon fraternity that offered great scholarship programs.

Let go 170 teachers so good luck.

There is so much wrong with this university and its incredibly saddening to see what the school has become during the course of my time there. High turnover of faculty, administration that mishandles finances without thinking about what difficulties their binge spending and money shuffling will create for students, cuts to programs and scholarship money drying up as the population of the city goes down and people start to realize what kind of school UA actually is...considering financial aid, you better either be rich enough to pay all of your tuition in cash or be prepared to be in debt over your head when you get out because this school is incredibly stingy when it comes to providing adequate aid. Programs keep changing and the university is doing whatever they can to keep students from graduating on time so they can suck as much money out of them as possible to keep the school from going bankrupt. How about taking all of the money youre using to build new buildings that arent needed on funding your programs, filling the financial gaps that are bringing the school down and actually fund more than one search for quality faculty to replace staff who have left instead of hiring the first person that puts in an application?

The University of Akron provided me with an excellent education. There were countless opportunities to learn, grow and get involved. I loved my time at UA and am FOREVER A ZIP!

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!!

Current student at Akron, challenging academics but the majority of other students do not put an effort into their studies. If you work hard you will go places. And..Get Involved! many different organizations on campus, get out there!

My first year was fun but after the 2011-2012 year they went through massive changes form meal plans, dorms, classes and teachers. The worst is that they cut many teachers due to their debt so therefore there are not many class options and classes go by quick. Also the cutting of about 55 programs so they have less options after about 3 years of this school Im transferring to kent to finish my last 2 in peace

Students here are generally friendly. Campus has some areas of nice scenery, but some areas are eyesores. Food options include Chicfila, Qdoba, Panda Express, Starbucks, and general market sandwiches, salads, and sushi. Everything on campus is around a 15 minute walk. Generally, a safe feeling aside from some of the outskirts where the city bleeds in.

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. Dont go here all four years; youre 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.

Its a beautiful school !

All in all a good experience so far. Staff has been attentive to my individual needs, and the curriculum appears challenging and complete.

Everyone here is so friendly. The first time I visited it felt like home

Beautiful campus for a walk.

My Cousin graduated from here so Ive been on campus. Its a beautiful campus. Last time I was there LeBron was doing a lot with the school, but that was his first time there.

This school has done much to improve its campus. Very nice dorms and classrooms.

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. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME...ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY!!!

In the moderately sized and mediocre town of Akron Ohio comes a beautiful but mediocre university. Nothing is truly impressive of the school. It is heavily updated and the classes are nice but it is very basic.

Go2Go Taxi would like to thank the University of Akron for the patronage up to this point, and we look forward to future partnerships & endeavors. We would also like to congratulate the University for exciting growth in many facets!

Their marketing campaign is nonstop and annoying. I have never expressed any interest in this school yet I am inundated with emails, and requests to vist the campus.

I have gone to the university of akron for 4 years now. Im not gonna lie I have had multiple issues with the school itself. I was not a direct admit to the college of engineering and was given a general academic advisor at Simmons hall. All of them have absolutely no idea what they are doing. My advisor told me to take certain courses during a particular semester and because of his advise it added another year onto my major. With that said I love the biomedical engineering program that akron offers. All of the professors are super nice and are perfectly willing to help with whatever you need.Akron is one of those schools that, depending on your department, will alter your experience here. Akron is also a school that has little to no social activities. This isnt really a big deal to me but if you are looking for the college experience your probably not gonna get it at Akron. Akron is focused more on its academics and prides itself on engineering. Akron also has a difficult engineering curriculum if there are any potential engineering majors reading this.

Wouldnt recommend. Awful support and broken links for literally the whole website. Would be nice to actually get my assignments done on time, but springboard and the teachers who use it are never reliable, because tech issues are no excuse, except when a teacher screws up.Thanks, but Id rather go to Kent.

This place is stealing my boyfriend on my birthday....

A slightly better education institution. Better than Kent State.

If you are international student dont come. They overcharge international student and try not to offer the right classes you need. The engineering department is the worst they have not enough knowledge just bunch of old racist people. They think that they r the only school and forgot that students pay more than 14k per semester. They pretend that they care but they dont. Next year more than 100 student is transferring out because of the racist advisors

Everything is a hassle, good teachers are rare, hard to find a good advisor that will actually help. Financial aid office is worthless, probably going to transfer

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.

This is the absolute worst college. No one knows what they are doing, professors are rude, classes are required and then not. Overall its an aggravating and expensive experience. Do yourself a favor and choose another avenue for higher education.

I do not have anything negative to say about the University of Akron. Quality education taught by quality professors.

This university is one of the worst Ive ever seen. It is by far the worst one Ive ever attended. Although the classes are okay, they overcharge you and charge you for fees you dont deserve. I was charge $470 for absolutely no reason. They accused me of dropping a class I never had. No matter what I did or who I talked to, they all pointed to someone else and eventually told me I had to pay for it even if it wasnt my fault.Worst school. Stealing money from students who are trying to make it through their education is the saddest excuse of an institution Ive ever seen.

As a current alumni (BS 2015) looking back at my time at UofA I am relatively disgusted. I was frustrated when I was there not because of the academic work but because of how poor the quality of instruction was and how impossible it was working with ANY administrative department. I regularly felt that professors cared little to not at all about their instruction quality or about students success in general. If you have doubts to the truth of this go sit in on an Introduction to Quality Assurance class in Shrank Hall South. NO better proof exists that UofA couldnt care less about the student.

As a parent attending my students orientation, I am very disappointed in how my student ended up in tears over trying to schedule classes for over 3 hours and one of the advisers had an attitude and wasnt helpful. Plus was unable to sign up for classes that was needed. Come to find out another student had the same problem and ended up in tears as well.The University wanted a lot of money from my student to attend even after monies from FAFSA and scholarships. So a withdrawal not to attend was put into action and we then were informed by the University that they did not receive the FAFSA. FAFSA was called and indeed FAFSA contacted the University and has the transaction number for it.It is a shame that the University could not reach out and let us know there was a problem on their end regarding FAFSA. Lesson learned for future schooling. Make sure to check that everything is a go. The University of Akron has too many pit falls. Not impressed.

Just like every other University out there youll get what you put into if. If you stay at home playing xbox smoking pot you will not succeed anywhere. If you go on campus, get involved in organizations and go to events youll meet a lot of great people. The campus has done an amazing job partnering with the city to rebuild Akron as a whole. If you wouldve seen this place in 2007 you wouldnt believe how run down it was. Also, my roommate had Richard McCabe for Biology, never went to class, barely studied, and passed his class with over 100%. He is clearly not a good source for higher education because his class was a joke.

Overall my son had a great experience hid first year. However the financial aid office is a joke after your first year. They gave us no help or alternate means for paying for his education. They did not care if we came back or not. My son transferred to CSU and will not go back. Shame on you UofA.

Financial aid office was really bad. They never knew what to do and there was a long wait time for things to happen. I had to scream at one of the people in admissions because she lost my paperwork for financial aid. It had been my 3rd time up there with the same individual. They were so understaffed! The security was terrible as well. There were a total of 3 rapists on campus during my freshman year. All we were given, were whistles to blow in case something happened. There were also homeless people living in the library and outside of Sisler-Mcfawn residence. This was all back in 2003 a lot of things can change from then until now but my experience was terrible.

The school is a good school but getting into the school was the hard part. I worked with financial aid for 2 months trying to get all the paperwork they needed to administer my aid and the 2nd week of school my classes were dropped. I tried to explain the situation to the bursar office since they were the ones who dropped my classes but the office was extremely rude to me and would not help me what so ever.I ended up having to run to all of my professors to get signatures from them to get my classes back and ended up losing my chemistry lab class because someone took my spot before I could resolve the issue. This was absolutely frustrating! So now my schedule is messed up because I have to take the lab before I can sign up for Chem 2 which they do not offer in the fall and therefore I am also trying to scramble to fill my schedule with enough credits to be full time so my aid will not be dropped. I almost dropped out of the school because no one but financial aid would help me and I ended up getting zeros on quizzes from my classes because I was trying to resolve the issue and did not make it to class, which has hindered me from getting an A in my calculus class. If youre a transfer student I would be careful because you might have to jump through many hoops to be able to come here, and that still might not be enough.

THIS REVIEW IS DIRECTED TO THE FACULTY IN THE CBA ADMINISTRATION (management). The CBA Assistant Dean, Chairman, and a Professor are completely UNETHICAL with the way they conducted my INCOMPLETE grade change/ update. From being told the reason I didnt get the grade I deserved was because that the OPTIONAL FINAL TECHNICALLY MEANS EXTRA CREDIT, Right? all the way to I didnt complete the OPTIONAL FINAL, make up your minds. The CBA has even BLOCKED GOOGLE REVIEWS. the Assistant Dean also asked me why do you even want a grade change? its not like it changes your GPA all that much. NO LADY, IT ONLY CHANGES MY GPA BY 0.1 POINTS. I HOPE THE COLLEGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS UNETHICAL ACTIONS. and they call themselves professionals and DR.s and smart. well they are not Wise, thats for sure. NEW MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP IS NEEDED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON.PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, AND THAT CONSISTS OF ******ETHICS.

Just finished my second year at Akron, Im currently studying Mechanical Engineering. Everyone will tell you the extreme worst and the extreme best, but Akron is home. Im from Akron and I originally wanted to go to OSU because, well its OSU. But seeing the family community lifestyle Akron offers, Im staying. OSUs engineering department is so massive, they dont care about the individual. Akrons professors can be difficult. But nothing without reason or without reach of. These classes are suppose to be difficult. Akron professors do care about their students even if they barely speak any English. Plus with the money you are paying, Akron is a fantastic school. If you are applying as a freshman or transferring, keep Akron in the loop. AK!-Rammi Qaqish

Im finishing up my first year at UAkron and Im transfering to Kent next semester. Its a commuter school so not much social inclusion outside of sports and academics. Classes are small and professors are good. Financial and student services is always making mistakes and sending me to different parts of the campus to get rid of me. Forced to pay for a usless First year class that followed no guidelines in the syllabus and had an awful professor/advisor (Bernadette Citano). Buildings are confusing as hell and getting around campus when its busy is a nightmare. The worst part is parking because there is never a parking spot that you dont have to pay for and ridiculous parking tickets. Ive never got a ticket in my life until UAkron. Overpriced meal plans that offer bad food. Financial problems and a declining student body since 2013. Would not recommend.

Beautiful campus, my nephew loves it here!

Very nice campus and staff.

Great college

Nice!..so far..need to visit!..moving from Chicago!... Daughter first year!

That is cool school boys and girls I love you school

In this review I will be ignoring countless stories of non-transferrable credits (from accredited universities), the extra fees, and the lack of professional customer service by the department of financial aid while focusing on my experiences within the CBA. I am going to reiterate this throughout my statements, DO NOT EXPECT ANY PREPARATION FOR THE REAL JOB WORLD FROM THE CBA. Skills such as Hyperion, OracleDBA, advanced EXCEL macros, SQL are NOT part of the curriculum.( but are a CLEAR part of the requirements of 80% of corp. finance analyst jobs) Do not expect to be scouted by a local or regional institution, or have your degree be worth more than the paper it’s printed on. Unless you are an accountant, do not expect any support from the internship and career services. Majority of the management and finance professors who’s salary I have had the pleasure of subsidizing, have no real world contacts who actively scout students. This means at the end of the day, YOU are responsible to present yourself to future employers with absolutely no leverage or rapport over anyone random off the street, and this shows. The CBA website boasts quotes such as “95% graduate placement rate” and “hard work is success”, but in all reality, over HALF of my graduating class (finance) are unemployed or underemployed (minimum wage job, job out of field of study, job does not require college education). All of those peers are 3.5 GPA and above.I will be taking the GMAT and applying to graduate school in 6 months, but I will NOT be applying to The University of Akron’s MBA program. For those currently enrolled, I wish you luck.

They dont pay their adjunct teachers a living wage. The money goes for sports and fancy buildings.

A ghost town

Predatory parking fines and penalties assessed to students of limited financial means is certainly an alternative revenue source used to make up for budget shortfalls. But is it ethical.

Love the classrooms in here!

The University of Akron is a great school with very friendly people.
