Eastway Experience

The Eastway Experience is a first-year residential community located in the Eastway Complex, the only on-campus area exclusively housing first-year students. Although first-year students live across many residence halls, students in the Eastway Experience live alongside other first-year students and are paired with a first-year roommate. This community connects students to campus resources, staff, and services that support a successful academic, social, and personal transition to Kent State University.  Students in the Eastway Experience live in Allyn Hall, Clark Hall, Fletcher Hall, or Manchester Hall.
