Review of Northern Kentucky University

from Highland Heights, KY

Describe your college in three sentences.

The campus is amazing and everything is in walking distance(stores, food, starbucks, atms, campus bank...). The campus community is great and you can find diffeent clubs and organizations for everyone, we even have a Quidditch team! The classes are small and personal and the teachers are nice and care for their students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you can, live on campus. The residential village is nice and has different types of dorms ( traditional, apartments...). Try to engage in different clubs and events that are held on campus. It is so easy to make friends for a lifetime.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are great and small. You learn a lot and the professors will help you if you have problems. There are also so many different classes and online classes. The times are great for everyone because the school offers classes from 8 am to 9.30pm!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I love my dorm room and my roommate. I have a kitchen and a full bath that I share with her, as well as a bedroom. There are many events for people who live on campus and the staff here is really nice and helps or fixes things for you.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are soooo many different restaurants on campus. We have a lot of healthy choice restaurants and little convenient stores. We also have a Starbucks on campus.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Join groups and clubs or go to the Rec center to work out or to take classes like Zumba, Yoga, or Kickboxing. There is always an event on campus or music outside with boothes.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

College is expensive, but what I get for my money here is worth every penny. I love this university!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We have an oustide theater that is located next to a beautiful lake with ducks that like popcorn... It is nice to sit there in between classes and regenerate.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The school is great for students that like to have a lot of action because there are so many different hings that you can do on campus. But I think it is also great for people who need their quiet time. There are so many loctations where you can just relaxe and the dorm rooms are quiet, too (no parties).

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

As I said before: there are so many opportunities to be engaged in the campus community. Langauge clubs, sport clubs, science, art, music, religious and cultural organizations...

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have 6 sororities and 5 fraternities on campus. There is no hazing and the sororitites and fraternities are helping eachother out. It does not matter whether you join greek life or not because you will make friends anyways. However I feel like a lot of stuff that is going on on camous is greek-related.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We have our own police department next to the campus and there are safety polls EVERYWHERE! In case something happens you can push the button and somebody will come to your location. I feel very safe on campus and even walk around when it is dark.
