It's All About Location!
College life – there’s more to it than simply picking a major and going to class. Students at Northern Kentucky University enjoy a great location with exciting student life and cultural opportunities.
Big City Life with a Small Town Setting
NKU’s modern campus is just seven miles from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. NKU students have all the advantages of a metropolitan university, with a safe and friendly campus nestled in the suburbs. NKU’s proximity to Cincinnati means students like you have the chance to extend learning outside of the classroom through internships at local companies.
The Location Has Its Advantages!
As an NKU student, you can enjoy multiple entertainment acts, like the Cincinnati Reds and minor league baseball, Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens and Kings Island Amusement Park, just to name a few. And our students love being close to Newport on the Levee, the massive dining, entertainment and movie complex on the banks of the Ohio River – only five minutes from NKU!
Venture out a little further and you can be at five shopping malls within 15 minutes. Hungry? The metropolitan area surrounding NKU offers more restaurants per capita than any other U.S. city. And for local students, the easy drive from work to school to home is extremely convenient. Real-world experience, entertainment and student life – NKU’s location offers you a home away from home.
