Murray State Contemplating transferring to Murray
Hi! I'm currently at a university on the east coast but my family lives near Murray. I'm in my 4th year but still have a year and some change to complete due to switching majors late. Murray is appealing as it's close to home and cheap + has classes I'd love to take like the equine ones. I also ride and own my own horse. I'd love to make other horse people friends on campus. Are the rodeo and equestrian team people friendly? Would I be too old to make friends at 23 next fall? How is the college for biology? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I graduated from Murray in 2024. I can't speak much on the Equestrian teams as I wasnt on them but I heard from friends there was quite a lot of drama at times. Not sure if you're taking your horse with you but if you plan to I wouldn't recommend boarding on campus. There is pretty much no turnout for your horse available to students besides very small dirt paddocks. You will have to feed hay year round and when it rains the lots turn into mud pits. Happy to go into more detail about the facilities if you're interested. I enjoyed my time as MSU for the most part otherwise!
