    The University of Akron is a great and exciting experience and is worth every dollar you spend. The average tuition rate is about $10,000 per academic year. I HIGHLY recommend living on campus. It is most definitely worth the extra cost of about $7000 per year; you will experience so much more while living on campus.

    I personally enjoy Akron because it's a fairly big University but not too overwhelming. The walks to class are not terrible and the campus is absolutely beautiful. The professors are also very understanding and many try their best to work with any dilemmas that may come about in a student's life.

    Akron is a really affordable school and they were also very generous with scholarships for me personally. You have to put in effort to get the most out of it, but as long as you take initiative and take advantage of opportunities, you'll go far.
