Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

On campus, most incidents are dealt with by campus security aides or residence hall staff. Some authorities will be more lenient than others, so it's almost impossible to make any categorical assumptions about the repercussions of breaking campus policies. Keep in mind, however, that campus security and hall staff can always involve the police if a student is breaking a law—and they most likely will. However, on the whole, University Police Services is more concerned with drunk drivers and public disturbances than with smaller issues on campus. In town or on the streets, you're only likely to be stopped if you're causing a disturbance or are very obviously intoxicated. Most students are smarter than that, and can last their entire undergraduate career without having a run-in with security or the police. 

In the residence halls, quiet hours are enforced, although there are seldom serious consequences. Certain halls allow "of age" residents to possess alcohol, but its discovery in other dorms will lead to negative outcomes for all involved. However, only students causing notable disturbances are likely to be discovered. In general, there are relatively few incidents on the Kent State campus. If you do get into trouble, police and security personnel are generally understanding, and they'll most likely respect you if you respect them. However, students who are smart about the things they do and the ways that they go about doing them should have no problems.

A Mix up!

Policies really depend. For things like underage drinking and cheating, punishments are very sever. I've heard plenty of stories of students being kicked out of their programs for these issues. But, then there other things like protesting and student riots that the university almost supports, unlike other schools I've heard of.

They Want You to Be Safe

Kent is strict for the most part,but only to a certain extent. There are 24 hour visitation in most of the dorms which is very good, but you have security roaming the hallways every hour, so you have to be very curtsy to others. Because of the tragic event of May 4th, Kent State tries hard to keep the students here safe. Like I mentioned earlier, they are strict, but because of the safety of individuals.

It Depends

I have only seen one person get introuble around campus. It was for underage drinking and she was clearly drinking too much. Also the RA's are very strict if they hear bottles clanking in your room they make sure to come see if its alcohol. I know some people that have got caught.
