Eastern Kentucky University — Attraction in Richmond

I am an EKU Alumni. I will never forget the day I started in the fall of 2017. There is unlimited access tools which will help you succeed, from the time you attend your first orientation to the time you walk across the stage with your diploma in hand.

My favorite part about EKU is the luxury of living on campus. I lived in Clay Hall my freshman year and South Hall for the other 3 thus far. It is easy to register your vehicle on campus and there are tons of places to park nearby, everywhere you go.

There is never any shortage of food because you have lots of meal plan options to choose from. The best place to eat is Case Dining Hall, where on the second floor you have access to all-you-can-eat buffet style food. I go there at least once every day to get my food and I enjoy it.

EKU has several old buildings on campus, all of which have an amazing history. These old buildings are a prime example of the phrase, "Old but gold." There have been some major improvements done on several buildings across campus. EKU has done a great job incorporating new buildings all over campus in the past 5 years.

Overall EKU is a phenomenal place. I enjoyed being here throughout all the ups and downs of my college life. I advise anyone reading this review to never rule out EKU as a possible college to attend! I graduated in May,...

The programs are really nice and prepare you well, often people will seek out people from this school in certain majors.

The internet never works, nor does blackboard. The rooms are absolute garbage and the bathrooms...

There are a lot of nickel-and-dime things that you are forced to buy and everything is expensive. You are charged for EVERYTHING and your card can even be doubled as a credit card so BE. CAREFUL. You really need your own laptop to go to this school, everything is online. The financial office is reluctant to do payment plans and they really really push loans, and speaking of they recently switched systems so nothing goes according to plan when it comes to payment. Once you're out of school, Sally Mae will make your life hell, just warning you.

However, the community is great. People are friendly and you will find a group, or several groups to hang out with. The people here are astounding and the professors are excellent. The cafeteria staff are some of the nicest people I've ever seen, and the other staff always are polite.

If it weren't for the amazing atmosphere and chances that people bring about, I'd rate the school as garbage, you just have to be careful. The fact that everyone has a chance makes the school a wonderful place to go and you can do or be anything...

I came to EKU as a transfer student from KCTCS and my two-year experience was excellent. First-rate education at an extremely competitive price for its caliber. Terrific scholarship and financial aid resources, too. Most professors are down to earth and approachable, and all of my classes within my major were taught by Ph.D or Master's level professors themselves (not TAs or grad students). Within three months of graduating with my BA, I landed an excellent job that matches my qualifications.

I strongly recommend living on campus. I lived in Burnam Hall my first year and met my best friend there. It's a much richer experience when you actually live in the heart of the university, as opposed to commuting, which I did my second year. Richmond offers nice local eateries but entertainment is limited; however, Lexington is right up the road.

I could say more, but for brevity's sake, I'll sum it up here: EKU is an ideal school if you are looking for a quality "most bang for your buck" education with a...
