Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Northern Kentucky University? Why?

Andrea

More student's don't take the opporunity to come to NKU.

Krystalyn

The worst thing about my school is how underratted it is. When people hear about NKU they automatically assume its for kids from low income families, not a party school and its too close to home. NKU has so much to offer all sorts of people and for a resonable price- which is great for a college student.

Brandi

The worst thing about the school would be the placement of the campus. It is on top of a hill and all of the buildings are concrete so the wind passes through. The placement of the buildings makes walking through campus like walking through a wind tunnel. It gives the feeling that a majority of the school year is in the dead of winter.

Curtis

The worst thing about our school is its facilities. For the amound of students that attend our school the facilities are insufficient. The recreation center is too small and is almost always packed. The housing facilities are old, run down, and could definitely use some renovating. We have 16,000 students who currently attend are school, eighty-five percent are probably commuters, yet there are still students who are forced to park in gravel parking lots. Lastly, our campus is not attractive, it lacks artistic touch and variety.

Morgan

The worst thing about NKU is the fact that it is a commuter school. Campus is always very quiet and unentertaining on the weekends due to the lack of people that stay here. Unless you have a good group of friends, you'll be very bored.

Shelby

The worst thing about Northern Kentucky University (or I suppose any place of higher education) is the cost - even though it could be a lot more expensive, college at NKU is financially burdening my family and I.

Danielle

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There is not much parking available for the number of students they have.

Stephanie

The worst thing about my school is the student life. A lot of the students commute making the social experiences different.

Jimmie

The worst thing I consider about my school is that people do not show me any attention like how I did at home. No females show me attention and that is why I don't date no one. Everything happens for a reason.

Jaryne

The worst thing I would consider about my school is there is not alot of diversity. I consider this the worst thing because miniorites here feel as if they dont belong. Since there are no programs geared to them, they feel left out and tend to transfer colleges. If Northern Kentucky University had activities and clubs that were geared to minorites their retentiton rate would be a lot better. As a freshman entering a new environment I would like to be around more people like me until I feel comfrotable away from home but NKU doesnt have that.
