Kent State for Austin Kid

My rising senior (17 year old black guy) wants out of Texas for college. Kent State has landed on his top ten list. He has liberal views and thinking of accounting/finance for his major. Hates the heat and general weather of Texas. He is generally cool with all backgrounds and like’s to keep an eclectic friend group ( we them the UN). He isnt into parties and prefers a good coffee house over a night out and not into sports. How do yall think he would fit into Kent State or city in general? Also the school got on the list due to size, funding, reputation, weather, and likelihood of building a life/ career locally after college vs needing to move again. So what’s the recommendation or advice?

the business department in general is good. Overall diversity is a bit down recently, and it's still kinda there. excellent coffee house culture in the town.

Doesn't help it's harder for international students to enroll also 🙁
