Murray State University

I was a transfer student that came to Murray State to change things up. It was undoubtedly the worst mistake I have every made.

The quality of education that you receive is very low. I transferred from an Honors college and had a high GPA before I came here and I legitimately feel as if I have lost intelligence. I honestly learned more in highschool than in most classes. The professors also feel they are infallible. Murray State also, cares very little about their students. The way you get run around by administration, the little class sizes, the not offering classes very often, and the ridiculous policies make it very difficult to graduate on time and you will pay a fee for everything.

Besides that, if you have a physical disability do not come here!!!!! I have a physical disability, I received letters from doctors saying that I would need reasonable accommodations. I was told that my accommodations were too much because it went against the attendance policy, which is you can miss three days, after three days your grade begins to drop. This effected me greatly! The accommodation I requested was to have a greater number than three because I get very sick sometimes often, sometimes I am completely fine. The disability services were very rude to me and even with doctors notes would not honor my request. The disability I have is recognized by the American's with Disability Act. They truly ruined my experience here, my educational record, and quite possibly my life because of my grades suffering from my disability, it will be very difficult for me to pursue my dreams. Do not make the mistake that I did. Do not attend this University. Sure its a nice town and a beautiful campus, but their policies across the board are ridiculous and they honestly care nothing about your education, only the money in your pockets.

This school's Political Science program sucks and, is a complete waste of tax-payers money. Out of all 4 colleges that I have attended so far, I would say MSU was the worst one in terms of quality of education. Everything else is pretty good -- small and safe town, nice people (with exception of some stubborn southern gentlemen). If you decide to go to this school, choose Business, Nursing, Education or Criminal Justice majors.

Campus Aesthetics: B+, Education Quality: F

Coming for Chicago i thought that murray was the best school in the world. In less than 2 weeks in the school year i hated the town. There is nothing to do. If you are not a frat you have no night life. The school is nice, but the town is in the middle of no where. Do not attend murray if you live the big city like i do. If you like the small town small minded south than murray is the place for you.
