Welcome

As a parent of a college-bound student, we know you are feeling both excited and proud at this milestone achievement. If you are like many parents, you find these feelings accompanied with a particularly interesting question: Now what? Don't worry, that is what we are here for - to make this transition as painless as possible.

OK, where do you begin? We recommend taking a look at our parents' version of the Getting Started Checklist. If you have specific questions, please use the menu at left to find all the answers. As you'll see, the navigation is divided to provide parents specific information, while also giving you access to all the freshmen related information. There you will find the answers to things you really want to know, including:

1. How much does it cost?
2. What academic majors are available?
3. How does Murray State University rank?
4. What housing options are available?
5. How big is Murray State?
6. What is student life like at MSU?

Explore it all. And by the way, we're glad you're here!
