As college students, we all know that money is heartbreaking topic for us and our wallets. For most, college is draining a lot of our money, but that is okay because we hope to gain back that money one day. Even if it may be years away after we chisel down the huge rock of student loans on our shoulders. Yet, not having much leisure money though doesn’t mean you have to sit in your room and pity yourself with hours of Netflix. Keep reading for some of the best things to do around Kent State University. Kent has many exciting and fun things to do for free that will make you happy, as well as your wallets.
There are many different museums all over Kent. On the campus, there is the May 4th memorial, the fashion museum, the art building, and many more. Although some may think museums seem boring, they are far from it and quite interesting. So, go check them out, you won’t regret them. Plus, they are one of a kind.
Right outside of Kent, there are endless amounts of little parks and places for you to explore. So, on those nice days when its warm, and you just want to take a break from your dorm room, or simply the campus, look up on your maps app and take your pick of which park to explore.

Take your pick on how you’ll view them, but they have many great opportunities for students to take part in events and such.

To all students, the gym is free. Thus, to not only refrain from the freshman 15 or other years’ scary college weight, take a walk down and do some exercise.

Exercise is good for the mind and body, so step away from your studies and have some fun. And don’t forget to grab one of those killer smoothies before you leave!
