Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school would probably just be how windy it is on campus. Northern Kentucky University is known as the "wind tunnel" and can be a degree or two colder than off campus. It is always so windy that every time I use my umbrella it turns inside out. That is the only bad thing about this school.

The Parking is what I would probably consider to be the worst thing about my school, while there seems to be a lot of places to park around campus, these spots fill up quickly making it hard to find a spot which can even affect what time I can get to class.

The architecture is aesthetically displeasing. Too much concrete.

I never realized how many students actually attend NKU. For me smaller classes are a better way to learn and I didn't realize how big the classroom sizes were. There are some classes you will take with 20 students, then there are other classes you take and there will be 100 students. It is a balance you need to find if you learn better in a smaller classroom setting.

While they try their best to keep a large number of student positions available, the fact is that NKU is expanding far faster than their employment opportunities are; in short, it can be difficult to find work on or around campus. If you're willing to commute a bit, Cincinnati isn't too far away, and the diversity of jobs on campus is still very good (especially for CIT majors!).

The worst thing about NKU is definitely the lack of parking spaces. If you live on campus and happen to have evening classes, don't even think about getting parking spot that isn't a quarter mile away next to a Skyline. Also be prepared to get to classes early just to spend all your extra time looking for a parking space making you late to class despite your valiant efforts.

The worse thing about Northern Kentucky University is yet again the parking. It is difficult to find a space, but it is the same way at any University.

It's located in an area where the overall morale of the population isn't very high. People seem to harbor more negativity than positivity, and sometimes this is reflected in their thoughts & actions.

The worst thing about my school will be the day I graduate and will no longer be returning to it year after year for my education. That being said, I do plan to stay involved with NKU as an alumni and continue to support the soccer team (and other sports also).

Construction, while it is a minor annoyance the campus has been undergoing one construction project or another since I've been enrolled. Moreover while detours thru campus are clearly marked they can sometime take a vary circuitous routes.
