Well we can expect fewer students here in Murray thanks to this.

[More Truth]

Few colleges or universities have a single campus. They know they must go where the people are if they are to grow.

Most colleges and universities have satellite campuses as more truth has said. This will be a benefit to people who live in Paducah and will not have to drive all the way to Murray for classes. They have always had the building at the Crisp Center but needed something with more class space.

The university itself will grow but it will hold the city of Murray back. Why would somebody closer to Paducah than Murray have any reason to come to school here now? I live in Murray now because I fell in love with it when I went to school here but I was from McCracken County. If this was an option here I would have never come to Murray in the first place.
