Within the Kent State University system, the main campus is officially referred to as the "Kent Campus".<ref name=regional>{{cite web |url=http://www.kent.edu/Campuses/ |title=Welcome to Kent State's Eight-Campus System |access-date=June 27, 2008 |work=Kent State University website |publisher=Kent State University |date=June 11, 2008 |archive-date=June 25, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080625090309/http://www.kent.edu/campuses/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The Kent Campus is a landscaped [[suburban]] environment in the [[Akron metropolitan area|Greater Akron area]]. It covers approximately {{convert|866|acre|km2|1}}, which house over 100 buildings, gardens, bike trails, and open greenery. There are also thousands of additional acres of bogs, marshes, and wildlife refuges adjacent to or near the campus.<ref name=regional/> 

While the university's official mascot is Flash the [[golden eagle]], the campus also has an unofficial mascot in the [[squirrel]]s, which were brought to Kent in 1961 and can be found on and around the campus. The campus is divided into North, South, and East sections but many areas have come to be referred to as Front Campus, Residential Campus, and Science Row. The main hub of activity and central point is the Student Center and Risman Plaza, which is adjacent to the twelve-story main library. The university also operated the 18-hole Kent State Golf Course until 2017, and currently operates Centennial Research Park just east of campus in [[Franklin Township, Portage County, Ohio|Franklin Township]] and the {{convert|219|acre|km2|1|adj=on}} [[Kent State University Airport]] in [[Stow, Ohio|Stow]].
