Transylvania University

(Lexington, KY)

Transylvania University is a private, liberal arts university located in Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 1780, "Transy" was the 16th college in the United States.

Though its name may conjure up visions of Dracula, "Transylvania" is Latin for "across the woods," which is the name given to the area when it was established in the 18th century.

Transylvania is located in the beautiful Bluegrass region of Kentucky, and has produced alumni who have impacted the musical, political, entertainment, and other spheres.

Approximately 1,100 students attend Transylvania, and the average class size is 17 students. Nearly two-thirds of Transy students study abroad.

The campus is home to many art displays, sporting events, and the annual Crimson Affair, which is a spring party that is the school's oldest campus-wide tradition.
