Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I was a 3rd year transfer student this year and honestly, coming from a small private school, the change was so good. I've met amazing people within the first week of classes. I also went to rush, which was an amazing way to meet people. Rush was not something I was expecting to do, as I've never considered myself the "Frat boy type" but it showed me that no matter what, you can always fit into a fraternity because each chapter is so different. You just have to get involved. The students may not approach you, but if you approach them, I haven't met an unfriendly person yet. Education Quality: A, Innovation: C Have a Question?

I enjoyed my experience at the college. I lived only an hour away from the school, so I went home on the weekends and then commuted my last two years. Because of this the activities outside of EKU held no interest for me. I was at EKU for an education, not social life. I was part of the music program also and loved it. I loved the campus where you can park your car and walk wherever you needed too. I felt safe on campus and not overwhelmed like a larger university. I would definitely return to EKU for graduate studies if I decide to at some point. I was well prepared for my work field when I left the university.

I currently attend a extension school though. I feel like unless you live in Richmond you are more often feeling left out of student activities. The staff are friendly and professional. If you call with a concern or question is is taken care of immediately. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Scholastic Success: A- Have a Question?

Do not live in the dorms! They are run-down and can be unbearably hot in the spring and summer. The staff are all knowledgeable and most are friendly and willing to help. My only complaint about staff comes from the math department. I also attended UK for 2 years and both UK and EKU have TERRIBLE math professors, especially college algebra professors. Something really needs to be done about these classes, as they have a 50% fail-rate. Night life is okay if you are 21, as there are plenty of bars around town, but there is a lack of entertainment if you are under 21. However, Lexington is only 20 minutes away, and you can find pretty much anything to do there. Most students seem to already have their own clicks. A lot of people that went to high school together seem to stick together at EKU, so socializing with people you don't know seems to rarely happen. The campus is very safe because EKU is a major school for criminal justice degrees and SEVERAL police officers and soon-to-be police officers attend this school. You never have to worry about crime on campus, just stupid stuff like people pooping in the dorm or setting a trash can on fire. Some classes are easy and others, that seemed easy, ended up being harder than they should have been, it all comes down to which professor you get. Overall, it's a good school. BTW, parking is nowhere near as bad as some people say. I went to UK for two years...THAT was bad parking. Parking at EKU is cake compared to bigger schools.
