I am a transfer student, and I quickly discovered that NKU had everything that my previous college was lacking. Honestly, the transfer process was a bit tedious and messy. However, even if I had been aware of the profusion of emails I had to send and reply to and all the financial aspects of transferring, I would do it again every time because of the warm, friendly atmosphere and countless opportunities this school has granted me.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to contact staff or faculty with questions. They will be glad to answer or direct you to someone who can.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Coming from a small private college, I am used to a more rigorous curriculum. That being said, the classes are still engaging and stimulating. I feel that I am learning without being overworked. Of course, that does vary a bit depending on the class and the professor.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I live off-campus, so I have no personal experience in the dorms here. Because I must rate this, though, I will give it four stars because I have heard pleasant things about them.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Again, I live off-campus, so I rarely eat on campus. However, I do know there is a pretty wide selection in the Student Union, and I have yet to dislike a meal when I do eat on-campus. However, I wish there were places open later.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a plethora of groups to join, and I would highly recommend doing so! I joined the Catholic Newman Center, and in less than three days of being a member, I was on my way with the others to see Pope Francis in Pennsylvania. There are sports to watch, concerts to attend, and the cities of Newport and Cincy are just a drive away.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are numerous ways to get involved! I am a member of two groups-- both of which introduced me to several people with the same interests as myself.
