If I could give Stark State half a star I would. As a former student I can honestly say that Stark State is a very dishonest institution with poor leadership all-around and overall a sub par education. If you're seeking a quality education go across the street to Kent State Stark or the University of Akron. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID, you will receive a higher quality education at both these universities.

Every time you ask a question from the personnel at the main campus they give you a different answer depending on who you ask. They force you to take and PAY FOR a "student success " course which is basically a money making scheme. If you try to test out of a class, they 'accidentally ' give you the wrong test so you fail and have to take and PAY FOR classes you don't actually need. THIS COLLEGE IS A SCAM!!!! They just do everything they can to get every penny out of you that they can. Their basic math class consists of some kid who plays on his phone throughout while directing you to Khan academy- A FREE WEBSITE!!! for instruction!!!! SCAM ARTISTS!!!

Both my wife and I were returning college students and Stark State Alumni class of 2012. We both received a great education. She went for respiratory therapy and I went for Graphic Design. The graphic design program was wonderful. The professors were all very knowledgeable and really cared about their students (huge shout outs to Michelle Lash and Eugene Starr). The classes are small and it's very easy to schedule time with the professors if you need help or need to go over some things. It's also nice to have online classes if that's your thing. For the younger students (and older alike), Stark State also hooks you up with SALT at no charge after graduation, which is a useful tool to help find employement after graduation. Luckily I furthered my career without having to use SALT. The biggest recommendation I could suggest would be to offer more of certain classes. Sometimes only one class is offered a semester and can conflict with working hours. Thank you, Stark State and to all of my professors for giving me a great education and giving me a fighting chance in the workforce after graduation. For those who are seeking four year degrees and beyond, Stark State is definitely a great (and affordable) place to start.

I signed up for stark state after returning to Akron Ohio briefly. I decided to go to stark state since it was close and had a certificate program I was interested in. I applied for the financial aid and was told I was eligible, I was awarded grants that would more than pay for my education. By the time school started I still had not received any of the financial aid and my classes weren't paid for. Was told by various people in various departments that if I could not come up with the money to hold me in my classes I would be dropped for non-payment. Why am I paying for classes if I qualified for financial aid. They didn't offer me any other options. Explained I did not have the money and was not working at the time and why couldn't my financial aid pay for it they said it was pending and everyone said the same thing; I'd have to pay. Well of course I didn't have the money so I ended up not attending when the drop date came, because they ALL told me I would be dropped and I had not paid. 3 years later I'm getting a letter from the attorney general attempting to collect a debt for classes I was told I would be dropped from! Over $2000 they want me to pay and it hasn't even been reviewed by an attorney? Called the school comes to find out they paid to hold me in classes until my financial aid was put through and never communicated that with me, even when I came in multiple times. Never was even told that was an option until 3 years later. Never got a letter in the 7 months after I stopped going to class about any of this before I relocated and went to Ohio state where I've had NO PROBLEMS and graduated. They are shady and have bad practices. Getting a lawyer to put this to rest. Seems like they aren't on the same page, they give limited information and are unwilling to help you find a solution. They don't keep you informed and do things with your account without your knowledge or input. Seems like the deliberately paid the little bit of money to keep me in my classes then collect on a debt for not paying. My question is if I qualified for financial aid, and classes were paid for to keep me, why weren't my classes paid. Why do I owe money? I never received any money in a refund either cause it never got that far! This is disrupting my life and now have to get a lawyer to dispute the debt. Luckily I work for the government that has free legal services. Feel sorry for anyone going through this without that option. Would not recommend this school to anyone. Can't wait to have a lawyer reach out to handle this matter.

Good school, low tuition. Teachers mostly do a good job, only have had two that were not very good. Financial aid is a lot better to deal with now that the new gateway center opened up.
