Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Tracy

That I could handle a larger course load and could have finished my bachelors degree sooner.

Megan

Before I came to this school I really wish I had known how much college really cost and how hard it is to get the money I need to pay my bill so I can attend school in the spring.

Brian

Most importanly so far , Students should re- confirm your schedule prior to showing up 1st day of classes.

Drake

It's so much more welcoming than I had ever imagined. People described NKU as the "no knowledge college" but I've found that that could not be farther from the truth. I have learned so much in my time here at NKU and made friends I'll have for life.

Emma

Before I came to this school I wish I had more knowledge about living on campus. It is an scary and exciting adventure being away from my home for the first time. Campus life is a whole new adventure the beginning to our future. This experience will help us develop our independence as a young adult. The best thing about the experience is that I am not alone, campus is full of students with thoughts and feelings like my own. There is so much to experience lets embrace it together.

Lillian

I wish I would've known that I would enjoy NKU as much as I do before I attended. I transfered from eastern and northern is a much better fit for me personally. The campus is more open and in my opinion it's all around a better school. Had I known that before I wouldn't have attented Eastern in the first place.

Ashley

I wish I would have known more about the scholarships the school offers. I was not aware that there are so many scholarships out there that NKU has for their students.

Amanda

n/a

Brandi

I wish that I would have known more about the volunteer opportunities in my first two years. I learned about places I could volunteer that could give me some experience in my career field but didn't have the time as I got closer to completing my degree. I wish that I would have opened up and tried more things so that I would have a better awarness of what I like. Now that I am in grad school I still don't have the best idea of what population I want to work with and would benefit from volunteering.

Angel

A LOT!! I was a teen mom so for me to say only one thing it just wouldn't be fare. I came from a small hillbilly town where everyone knew everyone and not too many people went to college. I figured I was living life "the right way". Boy did I have it all wrong! College is amazing and the small things such as sitting at Starbucks drinking a coffee while looking around at the wonderful people starving for education is mind blowing! NKU has changed my life and I can not wait to become a middle school teacher!
