Hey! I’m wondering if there’s any pickleball clubs that are relatively organized and open for beginners in the area. Let me know if you know of any! Thanks!

Still haven’t gotten anything or any notification. This is ridiculous. Called and they are zero help either “it’s brand new so no timeline”

any online poli sci majors want to be friends and help each other study ?

My bike was stolen from 8pm-8am on Thursday August 27 from Campus Pointe. Bike lot was cut, bike taken, and poor bike replaced with mine. If you see this bike please reach out and or inform law enforcement. If you have bikes at Campus Pointe put trackers on them, get U locks, and keep them indoors if possible.

Hey, let me know if you guys want to hang! I’m a freshman and I’m looking for some buddies! That is me in the picture

Good afternoon, I am looking for recommendations for Fall leaf and Spring clean up services.

I am able to handle weekly maintenance but find the Fall/Spring clean up beyond my abilities.

I live in Kent Park/Franklin Township on a bit more than 1/2 acre.

Thank you.

So like a lot of other people, I also have not gotten my refund yet. I called them earlier this week on Monday and they told me that my loan was stuck in a memo state (hasn't cleared or finalized) and they were to confirm things on their end but didn't. (they effed up) It was brought up to a supervisor and that was the end of it. Didn't get anything after that. So i called them again today and they said the loan was finalized this morning and would be released to my student account this evening at 5 (they release loans everyday at 5pm) and won't be direct deposited until Monday or Tuesday.

So i highly recommend CALLING THEM over and over to make sure your refund is being pushed through! had i not called them they wouldn't have fixed things from their end. our refunds are quite literally just sitting in limbo

Hi everyone does anyone have recommendations on how to find a dnd group? My boyfriend and I are looking for a group to play with. Thank you!!

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m thinking about organizing a campus gathering this Sunday where we can meet new people, make friends, hang out, and just have a good time together.
If you guys are interested and support the idea, I can make a poster and share it on Snapchat to get more people involved.
Would anyone be interested? 🙌
Drop a comment if you’re in!

Is there anyone else who hasn’t received their refund? I tried calling the office today but was on hold for like an hour. Which is not surprising considering it’s the first week of school but I really need that money desperately.

Hey everyone!

I’m putting together a cover band that plays gigs at bars and parties around the Kent/akron area. We’d be playing rock/pop hits and we would split all earnings. if anyone is interested (or know someone that might be interested) please comment or message me!

Like the title says, I'm selling my engineering hoodie. I only wore it once, I bought it at dks or one of the flashlights, I wore it a couple times after that, then switched my major to business lol. Looking for $15, however I am willing to negotiate. It is an XL. I can meet wherever you want on campus for it, and it's cash or venmo/PayPal only. DM me if you wanna buy it

I’ve always parked in Greek village but now the lot is kind of bad because they changed the bus route . Am I better off moving to summit east with the bus changes or just better sticking where I’m at?

Hey guys so I parked at the Allerton Sports Complex Parking Lot even though I had the summit east parking pass. The lot was pretty empty so I parked it. Do u you'd think it's ok to? And please tell me if I should park at just summit. I just find it more convenient.

I have a registration hold on my account for my summer balance which has canceled my classes for this fall semester. On Saturday my loan went through and my balance is now $0. I still have the registration hold on my account and have since Saturday, so I still haven’t registered for fall classes and am running out of time to do so before the deadline. Does anyone know why I would still have these holds or what I could do?

Just curious if anyone knows where I can find the class of 2030 photo we took after convocation

I'm a big fan of Collin Schlee, and I wish I could watch back his game against Ohio back in 2022, but no videos seem to exist online, does anybody know where I can find one???

Hey everyone! We just launched gaiahousing.com and would love your feedback.

If you've ever had trouble getting eyes on a listing in these Facebook groups, this might help. Posts here get buried fast because it's just a single column feed. Gaia lets you draw directly on a map to search an area, then filter by price, amenities, and more. It's completely free, and you can sign up quickly with Google or sign up with a university email and get a verified badge on your listings.

Still very new, so if you try it and hit anything weird, or have ideas, email us at support@gaiahousing.com. We genuinely want to hear it.

Thanks,

Gaia Team

I was almost hit 3 separate times today walking downtown. Please pay attention.

I’m making this because I wish more people considering 345 Flats would see the complaints and experiences from current and former residents before signing a lease.
I’m a current resident who is also returning for another lease term, and I’ve continually had to deal with issues caused by the property itself. One of the biggest frustrations has been having to push management to follow what is actually written in my lease rather than what I’m being told verbally. There have been situations where I was initially told I was wrong, only for the written documentation to show otherwise, and I’ve still had to spend time going back and forth just to get the issue addressed.
Things can go wrong at any apartment. The problem is when residents have to repeatedly prove what their own lease says or fight to get the property to follow its own written agreements.
And honestly, sometimes the leasing office feels like a simulation. The staff are friendly enough, but actually getting an answer or having someone resolve an issue is a completely different story. At this point, I’m convinced half the staff are just props placed behind the desk because getting an actual answer to an email can feel like trying to contact a government agency.
The other concerns that keep coming up are the price, additional fees, parking, communication with management, move out charges, and difficulty getting problems resolved.
The rent is already expensive for Kent, and once you add parking and other fees, the total cost can become pretty ridiculous for what you’re actually getting.
There are also multiple public reviews from current and former residents describing issues with management, security deposits, move out charges, maintenance, communication, and getting responses.
What concerns me most is that these aren’t just one person’s complaints. There are similar issues being described by different residents over different periods of time.
If you’re a Kent student looking for housing, don’t let the nice building and amenities be the only thing you look at. Read the lease carefully, ask about every fee, look at recent reviews, and compare the actual total cost with other apartments in Kent.
You might end up having a perfectly fine experience here, but based on my own experience and the experiences publicly reported by others, I would seriously consider your other options before signing.
Save yourself the time, money, and energy. Do your research first.

Hi all,
I’m a fourth year veterinary student and will officially be a DVM in May. My partner and I are looking to move up to the Kent/Akron/Cleveland outskirts area next summer.
Does anyone have any veterinary hospitals that they personally have had a good experience working at (or maybe clinics to avoid)? I am looking into small animal GP but am also happy to see other critters :)
Thanks!
