Lots of Majors

There are more than 150 registered student organizations at Eastern Kentucky University, including EKU Ballroom Dance Club. Whether you’ve got moves like Fred Astaire or all the grace of a drunken gorilla, you’ll love it at EKU. This affordable university’s motto is "Where students and learning come first.” “Eastern,” as it is commonly known, offers small class sizes, so you’re sure to receive a top-notch education (even if you stay up all night watching Adult Swim with your roommate). With 168 degree programs to choose from, you’ll have no problem switching majors if your interests change from creative writing to, say, aviation administration.

Pajama Paradise

Cathartic Attractions

No matter how good of an idea it may seem, you should probably hold off from impromptu Super Soaker fights at “the Corner.” There are plenty of de-stressing activities available around EKU’s campus. Want to meet your fellow classmates and unleash pent-up term paper rage? If you don’t have a car, hop in a cab or a Richmond Transit Service bus and visit a popular Richmond bar, like Madison Garden Bar & Grill or Paddy Wagon Irish Pub. Tired of watching talking cat videos with your roommate? Go see a real film at the Richmond Centre. While you’re there, pick up some maroon-and-white duds to show how much you love EKU and all its cathartic attractions. Save the water gun action for waking up your roommate Monday morning.
