I'm kinda new to the admissions process and researching colleges. I was wondering, what city is the University of Kentucky located in? It'd help for me to know so I could see whether it's a fit based on the urban versus rural setting preference I have.
The University of Kentucky is located in Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is known as the "Horse Capital of the World," with many horse farms surrounding the city. The city itself has a vibrant arts scene, diverse dining options, and the well-known Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Lexington can be an excellent mix of urban and suburban. The university is located near downtown Lexington, where you'll find a lot of the city's culture and life. But you're also not far from the countryside, which can provide a nice balance if you're not seeking an entirely urban environment.
