Hello fellow collegians! I'm thinking about Morehead State University, but the location is kind of vague online. Can someone shed light on the exact location and what's it like living there?
Sure, I'd be happy to help. Morehead State University is located in the city of Morehead in Rowan County, Kentucky, United States. It's in the eastern part of the state and is a small, rural area.
Living in Morehead can offer a very traditional, close-knit community feel. Being a small town, it has few shopping options, with mostly local businesses rather than large chains or high-end stores. However, on the plus side, you get easy access to nature with parks and hiking trails, plus Cave Run Lake is nearby for recreation.
As for the university itself, it's well integrated into the town, and a significant portion of the population are students, faculty, and staff from the school, which adds to the community feel. There's a strong emphasis on campus activities to supplement the small town experience. Overall, it's a quiet and slower-paced environment than a large city. It can be a great fit if you prefer a tight-knit community and the beauty of the outdoors over big city amenities.
