Get the Akron mug.It's not THAT bad! akron is a good place to grow up at. It's not too big, but niether too small. Still, it seems like everybody knows everybody and there's a lot of drama, but the people are friendly and it feels good to know people wherever you go. There's not much to do though, so sometimes that can get kids into trouble. It has some really nice neighborhoods, but it got it's little "hoods" too. I guess it's fun for it's size, plus you right by cleveland.

Get the Aeronnovation mug.An aviation school where you pay twice is much to be only half as good. Numbers do not lie. Embry-Riddle students chose to ignore numbers though. This is due to the fact they do not have a well rounded university experience. They also have 90% male student body. This could contribute to their very high numbers of homosexuality in the student body. They spend huge amounts of money on advertising which could be a contributing factor to as why they cost twice as much as the number one aviation college in the United States. The average Embry Riddle student is a male, very preppy kid from a rich family that believes he and his univeristy is the best even when all the statistics say otherwise. He is also usually an in the closet homosexual. They believe they are superior pilots due to the fact that they paid more for their education. Overall one of those typical stuck up private schools that only rich kids go to.
Embry-Riddle recruiter: I see your interested in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University .
High School Student: Yes I am but I'm wondering. Why does Embry-Riddle costs twice as much when all the numbers and statistics of succes point to The University of North Dakota?
Embry-Riddle Recruiter: Well that is because we are just simply better.
High School Student: Well thats weird because facts seem to point to that MSU Mankato is just as good as you. How embarassing!

Get the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University mug.Akron is a former manufacturing hub situated 30 miles south of Cleveland and 40 miles west of Youngstown. Akron is home to roughly 200,000 permanent residents, nearly all of whom are either black or white.
Akron is home to a steadily improving downtown, with the nearby University of Akron now sprawling into the downtown area.
At the present day, Akron's future is uncertain (though far more encouraging that neighboring Canton and Youngstown). Parts of Akron have seen strong growth and downtown Akron has upgraded from ghastly to meh. The University of Akron has been building out at a furious pace, and the impact of increased on-campus enrollment has fueled growth along East Exchange and South Main Sts. However, Akron's non-central neighborhoods are losing residents by the day to relocations and the older rubber-era residents dying off. Many non-skilled types are forced to commute to suburban areas for employment. The homeless in the area are abundant and notably confrontational, as they often stand near highway exists and aggressively accost motorists.
Overall, Akron is a C- kind of place. Not terrible, but not quite average. An optimist would look to the fact that Akron 10 years ago was a more haunting place than it is today, and that the trend toward improvement will continue. Pessimists will look at the decline of all of the surrounding cities and assume that Akron will suffer and be pulled further into the black hole of economic devastation.
