Tucked away in the heart of Kentucky horse country, the University of Kentucky is the state’s flagship college and a cultural powerhouse for the region. The campus is renowned for being one of the most attractive in the country, combining Kentucky’s famously mild climate with lush foliage and beautiful historic architecture in perfect balance. Basketball games at Rupp Arena and football games at Kroger Field are always a good time, and the UK Art Museum is always hosting new exhibitions to check out in your free time.
With Downtown Lexington just a few blocks away from the northern edge of campus, the major cultural, business, and entertainment hubs are all fairly centrally located in the city, making this part of town the most popular for folks seeking apartments and rental houses. Students are often able to walk downtown for some after-hours partying as easily as they walk to class during the week… drop by Tolly-Ho for a late night snack after a night on the town or a quick breakfast before heading to class.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
