I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and kinda want to stay close to home for college, preferably in Richmond. Any suggestions on which colleges I should consider or any specific experiences with them? Appreciate the help.
There are couple of good options for higher education in Richmond, KY.
Firstly, you might want to consider Eastern Kentucky University (EKU). It's a public university with a broad range of programs, from Business to Education, Health Sciences, and more. Many students appreciate the smaller class sizes, which can help build a strong relationship with professors.
Additionally, you might want to look at the offerings from Bluegrass Community and Technical College. It offers an associate degree which can be a strong basis if you're planning on eventually pursuing a four-year degree. Programs include Business Administration, Computer and Information Technologies, and many more.
As you go through your process of consideration, do remember to consider what the college could offer in terms of academic programs, campus facilities, student support services and their respective reputations. Make sure to visit if you can, many students find that being on campus solidifies their decision.
Lastly, don't forget to seek advice from academic advisors and career counselors. They can offer more personalized advice that aligns with your career goals and interests.
Remember, the most important thing is to choose a school that fits you and your personal goals best! Good luck!
