Review of Eastern Kentucky University

from Richmond, KY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Eastern Kentucky University is filled with a variety of knowledgeable professors, each one with a unique teaching style. Whether or not the subject piques your interest, you can learn a lot from them if you pay attention and make sure you take good notes of the content. I learned this from the get go, and I feel I am a lot wiser now than I did whenever I began attending classes.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

This college provides a number of activities to keep you from being bored, and there are a multitude of little communities where people gather for one cause or another. It's never a dull day if you're involved, and the environment seems to be rather friendly. I only gave four stars because I get kind of homesick every now and then.

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

Well, this is an interesting one! Eastern Kentucky University isn't as large OR expensive as some of the other colleges in Kentucky, so you should do pretty well here financially. As far as getting a bang for your buck goes, I guess the only thing I could complain about is the quality/price of the food. Don't get me wrong-- there's a lot to choose from! However, to be paying so much for a meal plan I would at least expect higher quality (and fully cooked) foods.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Buy a planner. Cannot emphasize this enough. If you have a lot of classes it's easy to forget stuff and/or fall behind. At least if you're able to write it down you'll have a reminder, especially when you're taking classes with professors who don't offer an assignment calendar in their syllabus. Also, good note taking skills are very important in a lot of classes, and don't freak out over tests! Just study, keep your head level, and you should turn out okay.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Eastern Kentucky University is great for all types of students. If you want an affordable college with high quality education, it may just be the college for you.
