What's unique about your campus?

Megan

The best thing about my school is the number of students that go to Northern Kentucky University. Because There arn't a lot of students who go here the class ratio is small and i love that because it alows me to really get to know my teacher and the other students in my class so i become comfortable in my classroom setting.

Erwin

The best thing about Northern Kentucky is my classes! The classes are small and intimate and unlike some colleges, i'm able to interrupt teachers during lessons and ask questions. Also i have different varity of classes whether it be discussions, lectures, labs, or performances; i learn in several different ways.

NKU is best suited for students who want to truly excel in their chosen course of study but learn best in a smaller environment. While the student body is rapidly growing in size, the professors and staff as a whole work very hard to ensure that each student is given a personal experience by providing us with the resources and tools we need as an individual, not as a demographic. The professors are great, the classroom sizes are small, and I am given a rigorous academic path that I have no doubt will prepare me for my future.

Devon

The best thing about my school is the fact that the professors here actually care. If you have a problem they themselves will try to help you, or will point you in the direction of someone else who can help. I was nervous about college because I thought that, not knowing anyone, if I had a problem, that no one would help me. I quickly learned that that was not the case. I think that in a larger school it would be much more difficult to get help right when you need it most.

Kelley

The best thing about NKU is that everyone has the same common goal, which is to succeed and be great in the field they have choosen. I also like that the campus is continuing to grow and expand.

Thom

The best thing about my school is that the professors are accessible.

Brittany

The art building is really up-to-date.

Amy

I believe that the best thing about NKU would be how helpful the faculty is. If you are struggling either acemically or in yout personal life, they will do what they can to help you through.

Olivia

The value for your money is hands down the best thing about NKU. They say that you get a "private school education for a public school cost," and they aren't lying. The classes are smaller, but there are still so many course options available. The tuition really is reasonable, which is probably why everyone is attracted to the school in the first place.

Jamie

I am an international focus student, and the university has amazing opportunities for students to travel abroad. I never would have imagined myself helping children in Mexico or seeing the beautiful sites of Ireland. Also, the teachers and faculty will help you when you need it, it is a very compassionate campus in a million different ways.

Brandon

I went to Auburn University my first semester and I hated the large classes. That's what I love about NKU is that the classes are smaller where I can get to know my professor on a better relationship. I also love the price of the school. It is still hard for me to afford this but it is better than most schools.

Nikki

It is accessible and inexpensive to the people who live in the area and cannot afford to go away

Lance

Proximity to Cincinnati and other job oppurtunities

Tamara

I consider the best thing about NKU to be the student-faculty interaction. I believe every student and teacher at NKU have a great bond as well as in the class and outside of the class.

Ashley

The best thing about school is that the study abroad program has become a major priority in the school's budget. I want to stduy abroad and that provides more scholarship opportunities for me.

Elizabeth

The diversity. There are around 15,000 students. These students come from 43 states, several countries and different backgrounds.
