College Review: University of Akron
Written by Eleni Plaras., Canfield, OH
Akron, OH: Built on over 200 acres, the University of Akron has a
metropolitan setting in the city with a population of over 200,000. The
student union is very modern as is the rest of the campus. It includes
a food court with several types of food, a theater that seats 300, a
soundproof study room, a Starbucks (for coffee lovers like me), and is
just a really cool place to hang out.
The University of Akron has spent (and still is spending) millions of
dollars to further upgrade the campus with a goal of meeting the
highest college expectations. The recreation and wellness center is
amazing, complete with free weights, stationary bikes, elliptical
machines and treadmills, an indoor pool, hot tubs, a rock-climbing
wall, and an indoor track. For a small fee, you can stay in top shape
with the help of a personal trainer who will devise a workout plan
especially for you.
