I am from Kentucky and also applied to Murray(just curious did you get your letter today? that makes me nervous as I have not received anything)
But anyway from what I've heard of Murray it is not too big, a typical college town though. Also its not a bad drive to get to Nashville- less than two hours! So if you ever needed a weekend to get away and have fun it would be convenient. I think it is a pretty good program but I am like you and haven't heard much since I've never visited. I know Murray is close to Land between the lakes so if you like nature its a good place for that!
