The clubs are worth seeking out if you have time to commit to them, choose ones that are specific to your major and you can make a lot of good friends. The food is very good and improving all the time. This year we got a Chick-fil-a and an Einsteins Bagels on campus. The "T-Room" or Thouroughbred room is great, especially for breakfast! Yummy!

At Murray, what solidified my decision was how helpful the staff is and how eager the students are to talk to you about their experience at Murray. I remember during the application process, any time I had questions, someone would always help me, or find someone who knew the answer if they didn't know it. I love this school and the people.

Horrid, I wish I could go lower than 1 star. They dont know how to manage their finances so they punish the students by gouging them on prices of everything.

Murray State University is cheap. That's the best thing I can say about it. Someone wrote that commuters will have a hard time, and that is correct. I have also had to go through multiple different colleges to finish my degree on time. Murray State is very unwelcoming and is just all around a poor experience. Only good thing here is the rodeo.

It is a very small country town. Not much going on. Greek life is more like clubs.
