Sophomore: There are many aspects of Eastern Kentucky Universitythat I like. EKU is very welcoming and encourages students to step out of their comfort zone. The professors care about the students and communicate well. The ratio between students and teachers is low, so a student can get some one-on-one time with the professor. They also offer tutoring in all subjects. The tutors are very helpful and are available seven days a week. The dining hall has good food and plenty of space to sit and enjoy a meal with your friends. The Rec Center is new and has a weight room, basketball courts, a swimming pool, e-sports lounge, a walking track, and a rock climbing wall. I really enjoy the Rec Center and I enjoy renting tents an kayaks. I enjoy the grounds of EKU, there are ample places that you can study or focus on your mental health. The library is another place I like because everyone is extremely helpful. While some of the dormitories are very nice, others need to be renovated. EKU is a great place!... Read 1,671 reviews

Sophomore: You get told from all kinds of people that it’s “shameful” to go to a community college, but these are truly such incredible institutions. All of the staff here are invested in helping you as much as they can, and are committed to not letting you fall through the cracks like some larger schools will. Their transfer programs are very well connected to most of the state schools in Kentucky, making that process smoother than I would have expected, and their alumni services help with job placement and offer other resources too. If you put in the work here, the school will match your effort and you will be set up very well for success!... Read 513 reviews
