Kent State University's eight-campus system, one of the largest regional systems in the country, serves both the development of a true living/learning approach at the Kent Campus and regional needs on seven other campuses throughout Northeast Ohio. Located in Kent, Ohio, the Kent Campus is ideally situated in northeastern Ohio, amid rolling terrain dotted by spring-fed lakes. Kent, a city of some 30,000, rests on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in Portage County. Yet, "big city" enthusiasts are only a short drive from four major urban centers - Akron, Cleveland, Youngstown and Canton - with airports offering access to the world.
