Hi all, I'm a junior and I'm starting to gather some preliminary research for my upcoming college applications. I've got my eyes on Kentucky due to family ties and I wanted to know if anyone could provide me a list of colleges in this state?
Sure, there are several colleges and universities in Kentucky. Here are a few of them:
