So far Kentucky State University has been an interesting experience, but nothing short of fun. People here are nice to each other and are not afraid to say hello to each other when walking by one another which creates the family atmosphere that the school is known for. It doesn’t however have it’s downfalls as sometimes administration will make decisions that do not have the best student responses. However, the administration does try its best to do what it can to make student experiences as best as it can with what is available. That being said, the school does have many limitations in terms of what it can offer their students.

My experience with Kentucky State University was fantastic. The school was very welcoming and friendly. The dorms and campus were clean.Before visiting, I didn't know this campus existed. I didn't even know it was a HBCU. This was the first HBCU that I visited. But, the students and staff are friendly and I can say with my head high, you wouldn't regret coming here.
