Northern Kentucky University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about Northern Kentucky University?

Morgan

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are not many campus activities. Guest speakers and shows are a rare occasion, and are not broad enough to catch the majority of the student's attention.

Nakiiyah

The most frustrating thing on campus to me is the food places. They arent that good, we shouold get new restuarants because eating the same thing everyday gets old. Another thing is when smokers smoke in non smoking areas. Luckily, this year are campus will be smoke-free. The last frustrating thing is dealing with financial aid.

Jimmie

I dress differently than every other student. People say I dress like a bum, because I wear bigger T-Shirts. It's different than my hometown. I am born and raised in Toledo, Ohio around gangs.

Tia

The most frustrating thing about Northern Kentucky University is that there is not a football team. There are a lot of sporting events happening all the time at the university, including Division I basketball, but I grew up with a school football team. The fall is a frustrating time at the university because no football games makes it feel like there isn't much going on if you live on campus.

Cindy

The most frustrating thing about my school is that the school scholarships require 30 credit hours to be completed during the fall and spring semesters. There is no room for mistakes.

Kaela

The parking. I have to arrive on campus an hour before my class starts to find a parking spot. It is a good idea to arrive early because you can also have more study time, but the parking spaces are pretty terrible.

Kimberly

The most frustrating thing about school is not understanding something in the class or having a bad professor.

Irina

As a multilingual international student, I was frustrated with the lack of enthusiasm that many of my classmates showed towards leaning another language and/or culture. Even in my upper-level Spanish courses, I’ve seen very few students who shared my passion for the subject, which often made classroom discussions boring and unengaging.

Oscar

Financial issues, mostly. It's frustrating and scary not having more assurance that you -as a student- will have the financiall security, and help from the school, that you'll need to continue and complete your education.

Jacob

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of school spirt. I wish NKU was more like a big name college. NKU is a commuter school so there is no on campus spirt. They are moving in the right direction however. They have recently moved their basketball program to D1 level and will be NCAA tournament eligable in 3 years. I believe that will raise the spirt.
