Our school is known for educating students in order to find jobs right out of college. We are located right by Cincinnati and many other cities are within driving distance. There are plenty of jobs for NKU students to land.

Bethann

My school is best known for being open minded and up-to-date. At NKU, it's not uncommon to meet people with completely different majors, or interests, than yours and become the best of friends. At NKU we strive to be understanding - especially to the LGBT community. Here, at NKU, we are college students, freshman to those who have already completed a bachelor's, who unite as one to clearly represent our lovely university.

Northen Kentucky University is best known for having a small class sizes. While many universities have lectures with over a hundred students in each course, I have rarely had a class that had more than thirty students in it. This allows the professor to be more interactive with the students, and allows the students to engage in class discussions instead of solely learning from a professor's lecture.

School spirit, alumni, the professors and their willingness to help you succeed. The academic program is fantastic too and normally, students achieve good paying jobs once they have graduated from this university. Very well known and well respected.

Jade

Northern Kentucky University is best known for the small class sizes and the close relationships that are made with the professors. The small class room sizes is well known at NKU because there are only a few classes that have over 100 students in a classroom at one time. In my experience at NKU I have only had 3 or so classes that were more than 100 people and those were the popular courses that my school offers (Chemisty and Anatomy I & II).

NKU is on it's way up! It is wonderful to be a part of such a growing environment such as this. You can now look for NKU vs UK, who doesn't want to see that?! Especially since NKU was formed from a source of UK. As for education, NKU is being talked about from people in the business world. I, myself, have ran into several people stating that NKU students are the ones getting the positions. Let's not forget about famous people... What girl doesn't know George Clooney? Nothing else to be said, right girls?

NKU is best known for their perfectly sized campus within the city. It's big enough to get away, but small/close enough to go home. They are beginning to expand their science program and become more acredited, which is awesome. Northern Kentucky is also known for the high involvement on and off campus. There is a club/group for anyone at this campus, including but not limited to, SGA, APB, Greek Life, Clubs for particular majors, and much much more.

Our school is known for many good things I'm sure but we are known for the arena that is commonly used for hosting events in the northern Kentuky area. Academically we are known for having good grades.

Alexandra

Northern Kentucky University is best known for its small size. This could be seen by some as a weakness but I see it as a strength because of the advantages that it gives. It gives small class sizes where students can feel more of a relationship with their professors. It also offers the ability for students to befriend each other much easier than at big schools. The professors really care about their students and that's hard to find at some universities.
