Lexington

UKY-Patterson-Lexington-Top.jpg

Surrounded by rolling hills and scenic horse farms of the Bluegrass, Lexington, Kentucky is known for its natural beauty and moderate weather.

In 2015, Forbes ranked Lexington the 15th Best City in the US for business and careers. The Patterson School's home consistently ranks as one of the "braniest" US cities, based on the percentage of citizens holding college degrees. Finally, the American Institute for Economic Research called Lexington one of the nation’s best college towns.

At just over 300,000 people, Lexington supports myriad cultural attractions, including an opera, two ballet companies, Broadway theater productions, a philharmonic orchestra, and countless art galleries. The city is alive with talented bluegrass, country, jazz, blues, and rock musicians. Sports fans are blessed with the finest college basketball team in the history of the sport, SEC football and baseball, minor league baseball, and the nearby Cincinnati Bengals and Reds.

The Bluegrass offers a wide variety of activities for outdoor enthusiasts, ranging from canoeing on the nearby Kentucky River and hiking in the famous Red River Gorge to biking through horse country. White water rafting and spelunking are also within easy striking distance. More leisurely pursuits include afternoons at Keeneland Racetrack, Gallery Hop, making the rounds on Kentucky's Bourbon Trail or skating downtown at the outdoor ice rink.

In addition to being the world center of the thoroughbred racehorse breeding industry, central Kentucky is home to major corporations such as Ashland , Yum!, Big Ass Solutions, Toyota USA, Alltech, Lexmark International, Tempur-Pedic International, and Link-Belt. Nevertheless, Lexington maintains the ambience and charm of a university town, with the offerings of a much larger city.
