I'm at my second semester here. I transferred after getting my associates and about 110 credit hours from UC Clermont. UC Clermont is a satellite school and the quality of the Professors dwarfs the quality of the NKU professors whose classes I have been in, with the exception of one.
I'm taking online classes, and the instructions for most assignments are incredibly convoluted. Not only that, but most of the professors seem to hide assignments. I am not a 21 year old whose dad is paying for him to go to college. I work and I have a kid and a house. I do not have the time or lack of stress to hunt down assignments all day.
Additionally, the school charges you MORE to take online classes. This is pretty much the opposite of what most Universities do. I do not use any of their facilities or benefit from their campus. When I DO have to go to the campus for some reason, (like the ALLCARD that they intentionally force you to have by locking you out of your account after 90 days if you don't,) it's infuriating. Not only because I can't park anywhere for five minutes without paying a stupid amount of money, (there is no reason for that. It's in the middle of nowhere,) but also because I have to deal with a bunch of 18 year old kids working every desk or kiosk I'm forced to find. Don't even get me started on the "map" or the "website." Also, the audit system is terrible and barely works... And when it does (sort of) work, it only works on Firefox. What? The audit system at UC is so easy to use that you really don't need an adviser. But, you know, if NKU couldn't trick you into taking classes that you don't need, how would they make a gross amount of money off of people?
I wish that I had transferred to UC Main Campus. In retrospect, I would gladly pay the $2,000 extra per semester to go to a school with competent professors.
(Update) Moved my review to one star instead of two, as I have had nothing but problems here.
