Anna - 11/16/2023

I personally really love the school. The whole staff is so involved with the students from the cafeteria workers to the president of the University. It is a great environment and could not imagine myself happier at another school. Everyone here is just so great.

Owen - 04/10/2023

Midway University is a school that, in my opinion, exemplifies Kentucky in one school. It's small, in the country, with horses all over; how can you can more Kentucky than that! As for the school, the small campus is easy to navigate and the people here form close nit groups that can help get you through the darkest days of school. Classes are small unless you're a STEM major or freshman with most classes having 20 -25 people in the class. The curriculum is, you get what you put into it; similar to many things in life. Sports are a huge thing here which I love. There is not a week without some sort of activity or sporting event. Student outreach is also a good thing here as they are ready to help you by any means possible. Overall, I would recommend Midway to people who have the desire to go to a small school.

Tatayana - 01/07/2020

Midway is a great school if you like that small environment. The people here are so nice and friendly. You seem smiles all around. It’s a very dry campus which makes me feel comfortable knowing they take those things seriously. The staff here is great always accessible, and they are always looking for new ways to make the school better.

Patrick - 11/29/2019

Midway University has many different options for the students, from Nursing to Equine Studies to Criminal Justice as well as many other majors. On Campus living, we have many activities we can attend to keep us engaged. Midway makes it a point to make it feel as close to home as possible. The professionals are aways quick to respond and available if we need assistance. I like that Midway is a small campus while small it is still very peaceful and relaxing.
