Love Morehead and it was recently rated the safest school in Kentucky.
Overall 4.9
Absolutely loved this school. The professor were wonderful as long as you showed up and studied. Location is beautiful and there is plenty of hiking and things to do outside if you like those things. It is a bit far from the city but there is really everything you need there throughout the week.

Personally,I have loved Morehead State. I came here for the small-town feel and that is definitely what I got. I have had so many opportunities and chances to get involved here.

I have always wanted to go to MSU and when I got my first dual credit class the teacher didn't respond to anyone but, after that MSU have always been the college that I'm like this is the prefect college for me. Close distance, friendly teachers, and the food is Delicious I especially like their noodle station.

MSU is all I hoped for and more. I feel so included in everything and connected on campus!

Morehead is a great school. When you get out of your comfort zone and get out more, you will come to realize that this school is really good. I am forever grateful for this opportunity and will make the most of what I have been given. I'm in multiple clubs, greek life, honors, and I have an internship this semester that I got from a class I took.

Lived around the area all my life and I love calling it home. Since it is a valley town, the weather can be unpredictable but it's absolutely adorable with many scenic values to it. This is my 3rd and last school I've transfers to in 2 years. I plan on graduating here and becoming a first generation Eagle Alumni!!

Morehead is absolutely amazing. It feels more like home to me than my actual house. I love it here :)
Overall 4.3
I have enjoyed my time here at Morehead. The cost of attendance is the best value you can get. Small class sizes, and professors who care. If you are considering college options, know this is a small town feel, not UK. Greek life is a great thing to get into, even though the new Greek advisor is terrible. It is a great place to live and learn.

this university is literally one of the worst in the entire country i caution every single person who even fathoms the idea of coming here DO NOT DO IT you will regret it your entire time here and if you do decide to come here and dont kill yourself first good luck surviving the black mold which is extremely deadly that is in literally every bldng

If you are an incoming freshman, my only advise to you do not come here.
Overall 1.4
I hate this place with a passion. Everything about it is horrible whether it be the professors, the dorms, the food, or even the annoying students. The fraternities and sororities are all trash as well as the sports and food facilities. I've lived in Morehead all my life and looked forward to going to MSU, but it's really just a terrible school.
Overall 1.6
I didnt even graduate there I left after my first year. Definitely not a place for someone who lives in a big city to go to its in the middle of nowhere. There is no Dunkin Donuts nearby or a chipotle or any other famously known restaurant you have to drive an hour away...

Morehead State is okay. I don't really see a point in coming here unless you're a chemistry major or looking into education courses. I'm moving next fall!
Overall 1.9
Not a lot of community. When the weekend hits, every one gets as far away as they can. Buildings are really run down. Food is meh. I feel like I was sold a bill of goods on the tours before I enrolled. Buyer beware...
Overall 2
Everyone goes home on the weekends, a lot of the faculty DO NOT like their jobs, and the food choices are very limited.
