Much more about you.

MOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY

I’m much more at home.“Morehead State is much different than any other college I’ve

experienced. There is a welcome feel here and you always have

the support you need to succeed. As a new student last year,

Morehead State made it easy to adjust to college life. It truly is a

home away from home.”

MicahInez, Ky.Education (LBD/P-5)

Warm. Friendly. Down-to-earth. That’s how people describe Morehead State. You’ll feel it in your classrooms. You’ll feel it in the residence halls. You’ll feel it all throughout campus. It’s cultivated in our clubs and organizations and the activities we offer. The feeling spills out into the city of Morehead and Rowan County. If you’re from this area, you know what we mean. If you’re not, just come for a visit. You’ll understand once you step foot on campus.
