One of the most corrupt, unhealthy, God-forsaken, stigmatized, and isolated places in the USA. 99% white and extreme poverty in 20 counties. You see nothing but trailer homes for hours until you get to pikeville where coal has been confused with Jesus. The poorest people in America have been bought and sold with dirty money and blind faith. PS if you're not white be prepared to be stared at and potentially followed.
-"I'm going to eastern Kentucky this weekend to visit the medical school in pikeville."
-"That is some corrupt shit out there. Plus I thought you scored better than a 21 on your mcat, you know, because you took it when you were awake."
-"You're right, but I wanted to see what the region was really like with my own eyes since I'm a Kentucky native."
-"That's respectable, man. But be careful out there on the winding roads where people will flip you off for driving under 70 miles an hour around a pitch black curve at night. And don't take any wooden nickles!"

Located in Richmond KY, this is the nation's premier Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Care, Assets Protection and Security college in the world. The Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training is situated on Eastern's campus, along with Kentucky State Police post 7. This college is the Yale/Harvard/Princeton/Stanford of those wishing to enter into a career for law enforcement.
1. Man, I found out I wasn't man enough to become a police officer while persuing a degree at Eastern Kentucky University, so I decided to go to the University of Kentucky for a liberal philosophy degree.

A grandma in her 30s. Had her children when she was younger than 15. However, she doesn't look 30 (more like 70) due to all of the drugs she's taken. Has a hoarse voice and raspily yells at her grandchildren.
That old husk must be an eastern kentucky grandma!

One of the best universities for people who should not be in school. They could save time by skipping this step and going directly to work at McDonald's.
1. -"Did you go to college?"
-"No, I went to Eastern."

2. "Be careful driving by EKU with your windows down. I was driving in that area yesterday and an administrator threw a degree into my back seat."
