Crystal Miller Alumnus - Grad Year 1999
I loved going to school at Murray. The campus was just the right size for me, and I always felt comfortable going to and from classes. My advice for any prospective student would be to think about how you want your college experience to be, don't go to bigger more expensive universities just because your close friends may be going there. To me, Murray is a big college in a small package and is a great place to start paving your road to success. As with anything else in this world, it's not the degree hanging on your wall that defines you, it's the choices you make.
Kyla Sanders Former Student - Last Attended 2011
I really enjoyed this school. The staff and faculty were all very nice and more importantly helpful. Everyone I met there was willing to help me with any problems that arose and they were all very understanding. The campus itself is beautiful. Trees, green grass, beautiful architecture, the shoe tree was one of my favorite things. The dorm rooms are normal sized with concrete brick-like walls. It's not always the most beautiful thing, but it is safe from any crazy weather that may arrive. The class sizes were small and easy to find. All together it was a wonderful college and a great place to be.
