Murray State College Reviews

Positive atmosphere, with great advisers that will work with and set you on the right path for your degree. Murray has a great student life origination and always looking for ways to engage students and help with the community, whether it be buying presents and food for people around the holidays or bringing awareness to issues, like new funding for the library or rooms.
Murray State was a cheap option for me to get my basics out of the way before moving on to a university. I went there because it was close to home, I could commute, and it cost me very little. That being said, you get what you pay for. The professors rarely truly care about teaching, the classes weren't challenging at all, and the overall atmosphere was generally not friendly. It was a good dollar value, but not a good experience.
Murray State College is a great place to learn. The staff/instructors and Counselors are extremely nice and helpful!
