Transylvania University

Transylvania University in Lexington is not a tuition free college but it is a unique University. Your thread on tuition free colleges focused on two of Kentucky's colleges - Alice Lloyds College in Eastern Kentucky and Berea College near Richmond. BTW: The mascot is a Bat! Enjoy the information:

Transylvania University is a private university in Lexington, Kentucky, United States. It was founded in 1780, making it the first university in Kentucky. It offers 36 major programs, as well as dual-degree engineering programs, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Transylvania's name, meaning "beyond the woods" in Latin, stems from the university's founding in the heavily forested region of western Virginia known as the Transylvania Colony, which became most of Kentucky in 1792. Transylvania is the alma mater of two U.S. vice presidents, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, 50 U.S. senators, 101 U.S. representatives, 36 U.S. governors, one Confederate President, and 34 U.S. ambassadors, making it a large producer of U.S. statesmen. Its medical program graduated 8,000 physicians by 1859. Its enduring footprint, both in national and Southern academia, make it among the most prolific cultural establishments and the most storied institutions in the South.

King George III died in 1820 despite his physicians best efforts of bleeding bowls of 'bad' blood from him in the months preceding his death. He just got weaker and weaker no matter how many bowls of 'bad' blood they removed.
Some modern scholars believe the King suffered from Porphyria an inherited blood disease.

JL,

There is another thread that discussed Alice Lloyds College. I have been there also. The location is Pippa Passes, KY. Absolutely, beautiful landscape.

Edited to add: Have you been to Lilly Cornett's Woods. Not far from Alice Lloyds College?
Located in Letcher County in the southeastern corner of Kentucky, Lilley Cornett Woods (LCW) encompasses 554 acres of mixed mesophytic forest. A portion of the total acreage, 252 acres, is designated as "old-growth" forest; a forest which has not undergone any manmade changes in 150 years.

As a crow fly's not far from me (just north) as my son worked in Hazard a while and we went by close there as I know the area well. Also been over the state of KY pretty much from working in that state for years.
A lot of mountains there as I like, but getting from point A to B what looks like an hour drive can be three in that area.
