Before I attened NKU I attened Morehead State University.  I never had any problems what so ever from MSU.  As soon as I transfered to NKU I encountered nothing but problems, from the transfer itself all the way to financial aid and bill pay.  Not only in my opinion but in many that I talk to NKU is nothing but money hungry.  They are cut throat and will do absolutely anything to get their money.  When I attened MSU they were willing to work with you as much as possible not NKU.

I am currently not atteneding NKU due to back tuition.  I have attempted numerous times to work with them on this which they have refused.  They want all the back pay at once.  Working a part time job that is just not possible for me, even though I am trying my absolute best and have been steadily saving money to pay this off.  I emailed the bursar office and the person I ended up speaking with was nothing but rude and treated me like I was less of a person.  I shouldn't have expected ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE BURSAR.  All of the employees of the burars office are rude, mean and arrogant.  They treat you like a piece of crap. 

My brother is currently atteneding and he has had the same troubles I have, including difficulties with the financial aid department.  The financial aid department is very difficult to work with as well.  You fill out all the paper work you are supposed to, then they come back after and say you have to do something else.  More then 50% of the time its a stock form.  They believe that you are hiding money from them in some way or another.  They have you go through a mound of paperwork because they firmly believe that you are trying to scam them out of money. 

So if you are a person without means I would advise not atteneding this university.  If you are not rich you will be treated as a lower class of person.  Universities like this one make it very hard for people like me to obtain an education, I want to attened college and get a better job.  NKU makes that impossible.

On a good note.  The faculty that I have worked with are AMAZING.  Some may have other opinions but for the ones I have personally had a professors have been nothing but exceptional.  They have worked with me and helped me with content I didn't fully understand.  Its a shame the the internal workings of NKU are so horrible because they really do have an awesome amount of very good and helpful professors.
