Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

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

Darcy

I wish I had known how caring and attentive the advisors and professors are. I wish I had known how great the services are on campus like tutoring and research. I also wish I had known how safe and secure campus is. I first attended a big school and hated it. If I had known everything I do now, then I would have chosen NKU over any other big univeristy.

Jennifer

I wish I would have realized how expenisve everything is on campus. I attended a different college for pseop and, there, they offered discounts on everything. They honestly cared about making sure all students had the tools needed to excel in school. I feel like NKU over charges everything. They really seem to be more concerned with money as opposed to the welfare of student education.

Amanda

What I wish I knew about Northern Kentucky beforehand is the lack of finacial aid help.

Ayla

Some professors are a bit more difficult than others.

Kayla

Before I came to Northern Kentucky University I wish that i would have known about all the resources that campus offers so i could have used them my first semester to be more successful.

Daniel

I wish that i had known that the campus is dead on the weekends because it is still a developing school. I really dont like that i could be in a group with someone that lives an hour away and in only on campus 1 day a week leaving no time for group work. I wish i had known that the professors were so willing to help students.

Bethany

I wish I would have known that this is a smaller campus. Just because you are at a university bigger than your high school does not mean the campus is super huge. That being said, I have met a wide variety of people. But you have to get out there and make those friends! They don't come knocking on your door. My first couple of weeks were hard because I didn't know anyone and I had never been outside my hometown.

Kimberly

I wish I would have known more about the classes, and the foundations of knowledges. I am well aware of them now after talking with advisor.

Clayton

That I'd have little money. I should have worked more and saved more!

Irina

I wish I would have known about the wide range of study abroad programs available for students through the University.
