An excellent education. MSU has earned several awards and these are all well-deserved—"Best Value for Education", "One of the Best Public Universities in the Nation", "Top 10 Best Kept Secret Universities". There is also a high level of safety. As a person who attended the University of Kentucky before my transfer to MSU, I can attest to the safety of the MSU campus. It is well-lighted, in a small town atmosphere, and the university provides public safety escorts to those who desire them—although these are rarely, if ever, used due to the safe nature of the campus. Although Murray (the town) is small without much nightlife, there are several great restaurants for a town its size (applebee's, fifteenth and olive, the big apple, the bull pen, e.g.). Murray is also a 45 minute drive to a much larger town (Paducah) and is only an hour and a half from Nashville. The university also provides a plethora of extracurricular activites—intramural sports (resident halls and greeks), student committees, clubs, greeks, etc. A new state of the art fitness center is also being built (April 2004—wll be completed soon), ALL the dorms are air conditioned (something that is lacking on many campuses), and the food is much better than the average university. I highly recommend it.
