Timeline
15:51
Start at The Bean Scene at Olson for a warm drink. It is the easiest spot to grab a coffee before heading out, and it opens early enough to fit your schedule.
16:36
Walk to the Kent State Ice Arena. The dual rink offers a wide, open view toward the west. Find a spot near the glass where you can see the sky clearly. The arena is open until 10PM, so the lights will be on, but the western exposure is perfect for the fading light.
17:21
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow across the ice and the surrounding campus buildings. The contrast between the bright ice and the darkening sky is striking.
17:51
End your evening at Rosie's Rations. It is a 24-hour diner and convenience store just a short walk away. Grab a late-night snack or a drink here to cap off the night.
Local tip
The Bean Scene at Olson is often referred to by students simply as "Starbucks". Rosie's Rations is open 24/7, though the diner section closes from 4AM to 6AM, so it is always a safe bet for a late-night stop.
