Hello there, I'm really interested in Eastern Kentucky for my future studies. However, I'm not entirely sure where it's situated. Could someone help me out?
Eastern Kentucky University is located in the city of Richmond, Kentucky. Richmond is the third largest city in the bluegrass region, after Louisville and Lexington, and the state's sixth largest city overall. It's nestled among rolling hills, providing a scenic backdrop that is characteristic of the lush Kentucky landscape.
Richmond is under 30 minutes by car from Lexington, which is one of the major cities in the state and the host to a variety of amenities from shopping, dining, to cultural events. It's also just over 2 hours from Louisville and about 3 hours to Cincinnati, Ohio. This makes it easily accessible and puts larger metropolitan areas within reach.
As far as the university setting goes, Eastern Kentucky University is classified as a suburban campus, but the surrounding town provides an element of rural charm. It can provide the best of both worlds, allowing students to experience a serene and focused educational setting while also having the perks of city life not too far away.
