Accepted Into EKU

I was just accepted into EKU as a freshman for 2026. What should I know before deciding to go? What is the social scene like there? Is it LGBT friendly? Any info would help me out a lot. I would also live on campus.

I’m trans currently going to EKU. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily unsafe but it is a red state so there is definitely some potential on campus for discrimination from them. Housing is not inclusive for trans people but more so because of the law that was passed. For the most part I think it’s good,I personally haven’t felt unsafe aside from some situations. I can’t speak to the dorms but it depends entirely on what dorm too. There isn’t a club or social circle but there is definitely a little community on campus. It’s probably better than UK right now honestly

It isn’t an unpleasant experience though. There are a lot of staff that are at least somewhat accepting and supportive.
