BEWARENKU is a bait and switch university. They will constantly switch requirements so you have to spend more and more and more money. Or the "advisors" will give you bad advice, and guess who pays with lost time and money? YOU WILL!The financial aid office is HORRIBLE. They will try to deny you for any reason. I eventually filed a complaint about them to the KY Attorney General. AWFUL, UNHELPFUL. The university tries every possible trick to take as much money as possible, and let's face it… a degree from NKU is a joke. Be careful! I enrolled in a class that didn't begin until March. I withdrew after ONE CLASS but they would only refund 50%… complete RIPOFF.Parking is a nightmare. $6 for every 3 hours and the pay lots are FAR from most of the buildings. THEN you have to worry about your car getting broken into (that happens a lot) because there isn't any security in the garages and, well - you know - they're not responsible. All the convenient lots are faculty / staff only, but most of the time they are not even half-full. And don't dare park there b/c parking enforcement is brutal.The worst is the bait and switch. They will rename courses, create new requirements, and basically do anything possible to squeeze more money from students.They'll have you taking courses, and by the time you're ready to graduate they'll say SUCH BULLSHT
And they continue to raise tuition to pay for facilities, sports, etc. that 99% of students will never use.
