    Will enjoy being here

    Lockegee is the place to go to relax, study and to just forget about the stresses of college.
    Bang for the buck

    It has everything you want and then some without breaking the bank!
    Tips for prospective students

    Take a day from school and visit the campus...ask questions during the tour and meet with the head of the department you're looking into. They have so much to tell you!
    Great for these types of students

    Am learning a lot

    The great thing about MSU is that the professors really care. The class sizes are small, and almost always the professors know your name. Most of my professors have doctoral degrees, and really know what they are talking about. Any time I have ever had a question, they have been able to help. The classes are challenging, but manageable. It all depends on how hard you want to push yourself. No matter what level you are, you will learn something here. The professor will tailor the class to you.
    Am enjoying being here

    I moved to Morehead from Louisville, so obviously this was a huge change for me. If anyone else out there is thinking about going to a small college in a rural setting vs. a large one in a urban setting, opt for the one in the middle of nowhere. Morehead is tiny, and true- there isn't a lot to do...if you don't look. Make friends and Morehead is just as great as NYC. I've lost my wallet a few times, and every time it has been turned in or returned to me within 24 hours. The safety here is what I like the most. I have never felt in danger. Not once. I can walk around by myself at night and not get hurt. Morehead was rated one of the safest schools and it shows.
    Bang for the buck

    Morehead's tuition is extremely affordable. I don't spend anywhere near what everyone else spends to get the same education. The housing is mediocre, but it is relatively affordable. One of the things that I think Morehead should offer would be a better option for younger students to live off campus. Overall, however, I feel like my money is well spent. There is a tuition calculator on Morehead's website that will tell you just how much you would spend in different scenarios.
    Tips for prospective students

    Try to look at scholarships specific to this school in September of your senior year. There are several that are specific to this time when some people are just starting to look. If you get your foot in the door during this time, you will do much better financially. Also, make sure you are ready to wake up at 2 am for fire drills. Yes, this will happen at any school you go to.
    Great for these types of students

    Music Education, Computer Science, Pre-Vet, Ag, small town students or urban based students. Morehead is a great school with wonderful administrators, and deserves more credit than it gets. I am part of the Music Education department, and I love it. There is such a community here. Students really help each other out and the professors will create a personal bond with you. If you want a small town and a small campus, this is the place for you.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned a lot the past few years I've been here. It has great teachers. Of course, there are a few who everyone has a problem with, but the majority will do anything to help you out with any problems. The teachers are always willing to listen and be of assistance in any way possible.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy it here. The summer, spring, and fall months are usually nice. When it snows it the winter time and when the leaves change in the fall the mountains are gorgeous. It is a beautiful campus with friendly individuals and staff members.
    Bang for the buck

    One of the cheapest colleges I know of besides a community college. A good education at a cheaper price is never a bad combination.
    Tips for prospective students

    Ask questions. Everyone around here is willing to help and answer any questions you have about anything. Literally, anything. It is a great place to go to school.
    Great for these types of students

    Great school for anyone looking for a place that is not too big, but not too small. Anyone looking for a great education, a good college experience, and good relationships with people will love this school.

    Morehead States faculty are very friendly, and most of the professor will help you as much as they can. If you want to go to a University that isn't overly expensive MSU is your best bet! MSU's campus is fairly small but campus life is amazing!
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! try out for athletic teams, sororities, frats, join clubs, anything getting involved definitely makes living on campus fun! Try to meet with your adviser at least once every two months, so that you can create a professional relationship with them, this could help you in the long run!
    Academic Rigor

    I believe as long as you pay attention to your professors, and take notes, the classes are challenging but they aren't too difficult
    Dorm Life

    I love living on campus, I have made many friends just by living in my dorm building, living on campus helps you meet new people which is essential when going away to college
    Food and Dining

    There are plenty of choices of places to eat, my personal favorites are Wingspan (which is really close to all dorms!) and ADUC (which is where they have places like Chick-fil-a, taco bell, ect..) we also have a Starbucks and a Java City on campus!
    What to do for fun

    The Recreation and Wellness Center is great if you love to workout, play racket ball or basket ball, Cave Run Lake is a 15 minute drive from campus but is well worth the trip, in one semester I believe me and my friends went there about 10 times! it is a great place to spend time with friends, or take pictures and such, there is also Tuesday Night Live held at the BCM on campus, they do skits and hold a worship service given By MSU students for MSU students, there are many more things to do on campus as well!
    Bang for the buck

    All of the dorms are pretty awesome, the dining is great, and your professors actually care about their students due to the smaller class sizes they can get to know you better, I think MSU really does give their students a great Bang for their buck!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    They give out free Tshirts like crazy on campus! almost every morning when you walk to class you will see the side walks and stairs chalked up with drawings or updates from Frats and Sororities.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to attend a smaller university without going to a Community college. Want to make lasting friendships.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of ways to get involved at MSU!
    The list is endless! almost anything you could ever want to do, there is probably a club for it!
    Greek Life

    I have witnessed the Greek Life on campus, and I am planning on joining next semester because it seems like so much fun!
    Campus Safety

    MSU has their own police force, there are cops always patrolling, the cops are very friendly and will help you any way they can!

    Am learning a lot

    The amazing thing about learning at Morehead is the fact that your classes are small and the professors know you by name. If I raised my hand in my psychology class, I know the professor would answer Yes, Ashley? every time, & he could always help. Also, I really liked how the material was presented. The slides you cover in class are almost always on Blackboard afterwards, which is very helpful for you to study outside of class.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone always says there is nothing to do at Morehead, but that's because they don't look! There are always events going on on campus, & the University send you emails every week so you know the events that week. I love that! Also, off campus there are great places to eat, a good amount of shopping, and you're just 30 to 45 minutes from big cities like Lexington.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition at MSU was one of the many things that made me chose Morehead. It is reasonable, and they will help you with scholarships and financial aide in any way possible to make sure you can pay and get a good education. A lot of people end up paying absolutely nothing.
    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend getting involved on campus on move in day and meeting new people. The block party is a lot of fun for that! I also reccomend you live in a four person suite, in Mignon or West Mignon. I love having all the room, my own shower and bathroom.
    Great for these types of students

    I think Morehead is great for any subject matter major students. I know the education program is a big deal, but I am a psychology major and I think it works great for me! Also, I think MSU is great for people who want a small campus, but not too small. I love that I don't have to walk very far, ever.

    Morehead is a small but nice campus for anyone who doesn't like huge classes and over crowded buildings. Everyone is really nice and supportive and willing to help anyone who asks. There are plenty of organizations and clubs to join and a lot of fun to be had.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you like the small town, friendly place Morehead is perfect for you. However if you like the city life with a lot of places to shop and go out to eat it might not be the best.
    Academic Rigor

    There are a lot of really great classes but most are challenging and will require you work for your grades.
    Dorm Life

    Some of the dorms are really nice, but some of them aren't. Fortunately, they are rebuilding most of the outdated dorms.
    Food and Dining

    There are a lot of places to eat during the day and they have good quality. At night there is a dining hall that is pretty good but doesn't stay open late. There is a grill that stays open later, but it does not have many healthy choices.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of clubs, organizations, sororities and fraternities available. We have a nice lake and are surrounded by mountains if you like out door things. We have a movie theater and some nice restaurants to eat at. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of night life and the closest big towns are about an hour away.
    Bang for the buck

    Morehead is one of the cheapest schools in Kentucky but also has a lot of really great academic programs. Rated one of the top public schools in the south by US News and World Report.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    i am looking into morehead. since they have a campus relatively close to home and they charge in-state tuition for my area, they are by best choice right now after i get my associate's degree and will be moving on to a bachelor's degree in computer science. i am seriously considering attending a meeting in the future.
    Tips for prospective students

    mainly, i think you would do what you would for any university: if you are new to the school: research the degrees, meet with an advisor, etc.
    Academic Rigor

    like any major university, morehead wants students to truly earn what they receive. based off of the requirements for their computer science major, the work will, however, be manageable.
    Dorm Life

    i am unsure of this as i will most likely be living off campus. i think it is most-likely very good.

    Tips for prospective students

    don't be afraid to ask questions to other students. there is a lot of things to see off-campus that you can't find without help. also, try and keep calm when entering college, everyone here is incredibly nice.
    Academic Rigor

    it really depends on the major you decide on. your classes will challenge you to better yourself, rather than just pass it.
    Dorm Life

    it gets better as you progress through school, but the freshmen dorms are still not quite up to date. they're fixing this over the summer though, so you will be coming in to a great campus in the fall.
    Food and Dining

    we have a wide variety of restaurants that are open until the early hours morning. it's two in the morning and you want chicken wings? we have a place just for that. we also have an on-campus grocery store for your own convenience.
    What to do for fun

    a lot of students find it fun to get into the greek life. fraternities and sororities on campus have different philanthropies to support children with disabilities, starvation, etc. we have a lot of mountains in this area also, so it's really fun to go mountain climbing with friends. it's easy to do and the view is breathtaking (and you don't even need equipment). there are also talent contests weekly and many theatrical shows and art shows.
    Bang for the buck

    Morehead is a nice school with professors who are always willing to help. If you struggle in your classes there is a wonderful tutoring lab where you can receive help from students in the same major.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to ask for help, and always go to class, it makes a difference with your grades and your professors opinions of you.
    Academic Rigor

    Depending on your major, your classes can be difficult or easy. Most gen. eds. are pretty easy, but you major classes are more demanding.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life isn't bad. Four person rooms are the best because of the personal bathroom, but if you don't mind sharing the bathroom with a floor, the two person rooms are nice as well.
    Food and Dining

    There are plenty of options during the day for lunch, after 5 there is only one option and then at 8 another place opens up. There is also a convenience store on campus that is open until 2 a.m.

    Morehead is not a very big town so there isn't a whole lot to do. The main thing to do it either go to Buffalo Wild Wings and hang out, or go to the movies. Lexington is an hour away for weekend trips.

    At the beginning of every fall semester there is a campus wide block party and then an ice cream social.

    Eastern Kentucky University only gave me a half-tuition scholarship, but I got the Commonwealth scholarship from Morehead which is full tuition. They have so many scholarships that you can apply for whether you're a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely visit the campus once or twice. The campus is beautiful and smaller than other Universities such as UK or EKU. Make sure to make your SOAR date as soon as you're accepted! That way you can choose your classes before other students because they fill up fast.
    Great for these types of students

    Morehead would be great for someone that is used to living in a small town, or even for someone who is used to living in a big city and would like to live in a smaller town for a change. They have many majors to choose from and I think Morehead is a great university to start out at if you haven't chosen a major yet.

    I started off as a Studio Art Major here and admittedly struggled with it. I was bored in my classes, so I started to slack off. I started taking some theatre courses, just to see, and I fell in love. Now, I'm learning so much every day that I'm here, and I'm getting experience that will directly affect my career.
    Am enjoying being here

    MSU has a great familial atmosphere. We're not a particularly small college, so there's a diverse group of people for you to become friends with and learn from. At the same time, we're small enough that you don't feel lost in a sea of people. There are so many different groups on campus, Greek and Independent, that there really is something for everyone if you're just willing to put out the effort to get involved.
    Bang for the buck

    MSU's tuition is affordable regardless, and they offer tons of scholarship and loan opportunities.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you apply early for scholarships, as there is always a limited supply. When you get here, don't be scared to experiment by taking different kinds of classes and participating in different events. If you put forth the effort, you're bound to find your niche.
    Great for these types of students

    Active students, from a small town or suburban setting.
