I went to MSU my freshman year and played on the football team, then transferred to another program (WKU) my sophomore season. At the time I would think there wasn't a whole lot to do at MSU and I would be bored at times during the off-season. That simply wasn't true when I look back on it. I met different people from different walks of life, not just on the football team or other sports, but students especially North of Kentucky. The campus around ADUC and academic buildings is beautiful for such a small university, there could be more put into the areas around Wilson Hall and the main dormitory towers as far as beautification.

It's a small town and outside of the city limits of Morehead it's generally poor economically. Off-campus job opportunities would probably be found mostly in fast-food industry.

Some people may complain about the poor social life, but thats probably spoken from one who didn't seek it. A lot of students come in together in groups from High School from parts of Eastern and Northern Kentucky or Southern and Central Ohio. Pending on the time of year, it was a suitcase school for most.

It's isolated but not so much that you can't get what you need in high-end products and services. With Lexington just down the road and Huntington WV you can find what you need.

If I could go back, I would've continued all four years there.

The MSU (Morehead State University) Online MBA is accredited by the AACSB association. Which is the highest level of accreditation that only 30% of the worlds business schools have. The MBA is challenging and more importantly valid in the work place! I was really excited about paying Kentucky's in-state tuition rates on my MBA courses it saved me thousands! Thank you Morehead State University for offering an AACSB accredited MBA online! It was a great and makes for an excellent professional credential!

Many people complain about the city of Morehead - and true, it's quite boring. Little hick town in the bible belt, not much action, but I'm here to focus, learn and obtain a degree. Morehead State IS known outside of Kentucky with Steve Inskeep of NPR (R-TV communications) and Phil Simms of the NY Giants (history education) as alumni. It is a respected institution of higher education. If you need to hold a job while in school, most businesses are happy to hire students and will work with you. It's a great place to go to college if you want to learn and get a degree. Not much if you're looking for a place to hang out while you're skipping class.

The one thing I love here is the vet tech program (my major, obviously). It is challenging and hands on, and everything I learn in my vet classes will apply to my future career in veterinary medicine. This program is the reason I chose to come to Morehead--I wanted to do a vet tech major, but wanted the living on campus experience too. What I've discovered though, is as far as the traditional "college experience" goes, I would have been better off going to the regional campus near my home that also offers a vet tech program, and just finding an apartment near campus. The only events they ever have here are during the week, and are rarely worth going to. The vast majority of students go home every weekend because there is nothing to do here or in the surrounding town. Usually the only time they even have events are on parents weekend and other times when people's families will be in town--I guess they are trying to deceive our families into thinking we are actually provided with fun things to do, which is a lie. (I also have found it hard to make friends here; people seem like they all came here in groups from high school, and stick with those friends. If you are not from around here and don't know anyone, it is hard to meet new people, probably partly because of the lack of events. Honestly, the only friends I've made in my first semester (which is almost over now) are my roommates and couple of their friends, and one person who I study with for my vet classes.) Basically, if your looking to go out on the town and have access to a lot of fun things to do as part of your college experience, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.
