Junior: I really love Murray State University! For the most part the professors and TA’s are really great. I have met lifetime friends there and can’t wait to come back in this upcoming fall! The only thing I would like to see Change is that I dislike that the online classes are so expensive compared to in person classes, and most of the online ones are not even full semesters. Most of my major is online, which is making me pay good chunk more than of my classes were all offered in person.... Read 1,347 reviews

Junior: I just transferred to the University of Kentucky this past week, and it has been nothing but amazing. I came from a university that genuinely does not have their students best interest at heart. The second I stepped onto campus in Kentucky it has been nothing but love radiated from everyone, from the students, to the staff and faculty, and everyone I have had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell that these people are actually happy and enjoy what they are doing. I was very nervous walking into orientation and meeting my advisor because I struggled a lot with my academics at my last institution. But my advisor was nothing but understanding, patient, and helpful. It has meant the world to be to somewhere where I not only feel comfortable but it already feels like home, and I can't wait for my time at the University of Kentucky!... Read 3,949 reviews

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 1,663 reviews

Sophomore: I have always had a positive experience at WKCTC. My experience here started when I took Dual Credit classes at WKCTC through my highschool. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to go to West Kentucky Community & Technical College. It's close to home and all of the faculty and staff are super helpful. Anytime I've ever had a question or concern they are quick to answer and understanding. If you've thought about considering this school, this is your sign to do it! You won't regret it!...

Sophomore: This community college has helped me a lot. When I needed help with my academic plan and choosing the right path, I have been offered several knowledgeable advisors right away. The admission staff, instructors, advisors, and even my fellow students have helped me obtain A's in all my classes last semester! Every time I needed further guidance for my projects and tasks, the instructors were there giving me all the information and advice that I need. Moreover, the finance office staff processes my financial aid right away and I have received my financial awards and scholarship in no time! I wish they had a 4-year school/university. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.... Read 185 reviews

Junior: Since I was so unsure about college I didn't want to just not go to college. I had looked into different colleges to give it a chance at least for one whole year we decided that BCTC would be the best fit for me. With two different major changes I am so a happy to say that I will be graduating in December of 2023. I start my three summer classes this week and I'm so excited to say I have exceeded my expectations and I earned a 4.0 this spring semester. BCTC has boosted my confidence with my academics and now I will start the process to find a four year school to pursue social work. Without the encouraging words and help from everyone at the school I wouldn't be here today, there is nothing I would change about my experience with them!... Read 509 reviews

Freshman: I am currently enrolled in gateway community and technical college for an online computer programming course. Overall I love the convenience and affordability this school provides along with a variety of other helpful resources such as work ready programs, counseling for those struggling (let's be honest most have more than school droning on your every day life and a release of this tension could be all it takes to make or break someone's determination to finish their course), daycare, and plenty others. I recommend this program to anyone looking to further their education!... Read 172 reviews

Freshman: Small, close-knit community college serving the KY-OH-WV Tristate area. Classes are smaller and professors are more involved. No on-campus housing or dining options. Many students live in outlying areas and commute. Academic staff are very supportive of students who wish to pursue further education at other schools, and frequently offer "transfer fairs" to help students prepare for that next step....

Freshman: I love Western Kentucky University. WKU is a perfect size for a student who does not prefer a large party school but still wants to socialize! They have an incredible Greek life and they have amazing classes as well! I enjoy my classes here, and I am also apart of the Honors College here on campus as well. As a D1 school, WKU also has great sports! We have good football teams, softball teams, and others.

Sophomore: Attending Elizabethtown Community & Technical College has been a very special experience for me. My mom, dad, brother all attended ectc, so it feels extra special to be continuing that on, almost like a tradition. Although many young people would prefer to attend a university, in my opinion what makes ectc so special is the fact that it is a community college, it feels like a small town where everyone knows each other. I have found myself making great relationships with students and teachers. One thing I would want to change at ectc is the activity rate, I want to encourage more students to help out around the school or even join clubs. For example, tutoring is a great way to help our peers feel more confident and comfortable in the classroom, which may also make our school as a whole look better academic wise. Overall, ectc is a great environment and I am proud to be part of such a great team!... Read 309 reviews

Sophomore: I couldn't wait to share my experience with everyone! I was amazed by the excellent communication and thoughtful attention to every last detail from beginning to end. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel appreciated as a student and welcomed. With calming music playing in the background and a tastefully designed room, the ambiance was welcoming. My expectations were significantly exceeded by the quality of the goods or services provided; it was obvious that only the best components were put to use. The addition of additional diversity to their goods is the one item, though, that I would most like to see changed. Don't get me wrong, they offer excellent service as it is, but I think adding more items to their repertoire could appeal to a larger audience.... Read 1,942 reviews

Junior: The fact that both my instructors and the other students at the institution in Campbellsville are always so kind and friendly makes attending to class a delight for me, and I get the sense that everyone there is rooting for your academic success, which is motivating in and of itself. They have already moved the timing from 530 to 9:00, which is the alteration that I would make to the schedule. Although I am excited to leave Campbellsville, I will miss the fact that it is a faith-based institution. I also like that it's only two days a week since it allows me to continue working and taking care of my family while simultaneously completing my schoolwork.... Read 515 reviews

Graduate Student: Going to school at Sullivan was an amazing experience. The only issue I faced was lack of communication with some HR departments however, it was made up by an outstanding curriculum related to my field of study, and the staff members who helped me achieve my goal of becoming a college graduate. There is little room to party, but the campus is diverse and very accepting about identity and personal goals. The dorms are old hotel rooms, giving each roommate a lot of space for themselves, and the RA team organizes fun activities for students to engage in quarterly! I would recommend coming to Sullivan University for your degree, and staying for life changing memories.... Read 1,171 reviews
