Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Megan

Our school is best known for its sense of community. Everyone here is so accepting of one another. Being away from home my freshman year was beyond what I thought I was ready for. From leaving the my loving community to coming to NKU was like nothing had changed.

Amanda

NKU is best known for their events! Every year some country music stars visit the Bank of Kentucky Center and provide a concert. Although I have never been able to attend because of working but I would love to attend.

Hannah

I think my school is best known for their clubs on campus. We offer over 200 clubs, and most of our students are involved in at least one of them. I believe this helps with networking and other social skills that students need. It also allows students to gain leadership skills if they wish to do so.

Kayley

The Arts Program. We have one of the best Performing Arts Programs around. When talking about NKU, the Arts program is always mentioned.

Elizabeth

My school is best known for it's Chase Law program

Jalin

NKU is best known for a private school fell with a public school price, at NKU we have smaller classes which makes the feeling of being in class more comfortable. In any class if there is a question on my mind I will ask that question because only 30 people will hear my question, unlike going to a larger university over 100 people will hear my question so there is no pressure. Also NKU will help you network and get involved more that will help you to get through college.

Tiffany

Its sad to say, but we are known for our low graduation rates and expensive tuition. But no matter, I will still push myself to pass and probably be in debt for the rest of my life if I don't get scholarships.

Michelle

Northern Kentucky University is best known for its small class sizes and excellent faculty.

Kyndra

Northern Kentucky University is best known for their blackboard system to access course assignments and tests.

Courtney

Northern Kentucky University is known for being a relatively new college. It was founded in 1968, making it only 45 years old. Being such a new school, the amount of students is nowhere near the size of the University of Kentucky or larger state schools, which is part of the reason why the students that attend here love the school. Being a “state school”, you’re paying what other students who go to state schools pay, but you’re getting a private school education. The professor to student ratio is 14:1 with an average class size of 24 students.
