Northern Kentucky University

She had 3 years of dance prior to college, was kind of late starting on the whole theatre thing. But she has enjoyed the dance classes and found them beneficial. I haven’t seen her dance much lately, but from the little bits she has done around the house I can see she has improved. Dance classes have people with a variety of skill sets and after establishing some basics they start to add more for the people with more experience (at least that’s what she said with ballet last semester).

One odd thing for dance is that the classes are 3 units, where many other places have them as 1 unit classes so it is easier to take more. But she is planning on taking 2 dance classes next semester because she has decided to add a dance minor in addition to the honors minor. She brought in a lot of AP credit and believes she will have plenty of time for acting/theatre courses. Two honors gen-ed courses can count towards the honors minor, so that can help free up some time too.

One “knock” on NKU is that it is still building its academic strength across the university so you might need to honors classes to stay academically challenged, Due to quirk of the schedule she doesn’t have an honors class this semester and only one gen-ed, so she is feeling a little bored (but loves the theatre and dance classes she has).

Agree on the support services, they offer a lot for those who need it.
