Review of Eastern Kentucky University

from Corinth, KY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Since coming to EKU, I have learned many things in and out of the classroom. In the class, I am not just taught information, but how to use it in real life. Many professors go above and beyond to help their students if they are struggling to learn the material needed. However, if the professor is not able to help you, they send you to one of the many places on campus to get you the tutoring you need to make an excellent grade. EKU have many programs that are better than many other universities such as Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and just about anything under the Criminal Justice Department.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I live on campus and love every minute of it. However, EKU is a great place to be a student whether you live on or off campus. Every week has multiple events going on for students to go to for free most of the time. Some examples of events that happen are blood drives, concerts, speakers, games, etc. EKU is located in a city that has a suburban nature to it. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, bookstores, and even a theater all less than 5 minutes away from campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

EKU is the cheapest 4 year or higher university in the state of Kentucky as far as tuition, parking permits, meal plans, and dorms go. Professors are always looking out for students to make it easier to find and be able to buy their textbooks at the cheapest price possible.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Always check your email often for what is happening on campus. If you have a question ask. Visit campus before beginning class to get a feel for the layout. If you are struggling in class, do the following. Figure out why you are struggling. Talk to your professor, adviser, and/or counselor. Learn where all the help, tutoring, and computer centers are because they will be very useful to all who must have perfection in the school work.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for social people, people who do not have many to waste, those who like to get the most for their money. Also for anyone majoring in the above mentioned programs, since they are some of EKU's best programs.
