Hey fellow students, I was researching about this university - Morehead. Does anyone know where is it located? Additionally, are there any good or bad things about the location that I should be aware of?
Morehead University, known officially as Morehead State University, is located in Morehead, Kentucky, USA. It's in a small, cozy town with a population less than 10,000. The town exudes a sense of community and the people are generally very friendly and welcoming (a common trait in many southern towns). With the town being small, everything is accessible and within close proximity which is a plus.
However, on the downside, because Morehead is a smaller town, it may not have all the amenities found in larger cities. While this doesn't affect most students' day-to-day lives, it may be a factor if you're seeking a more urban college experience. There's not a wide variety of shops, restaurants, or entertainment venues compared to bigger cities, but there are enough to meet most of your needs.
View it as a 'close-knit community' vibe rather than a sprawling, bustling city energy. If you're from a larger city, it might be a bit of a change, but many students end up loving the calmer, more laid-back lifestyle. A bonus is the university's proximity to Daniel Boone National Forest, which is perfect if you enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or camping.
