I moved to KY from Atlanta 4 years ago to go to school (I go to UK). I'm graduating in a few months but Kentucky and Lexington have definitely become my second homes. Some things to know:
-Bourbon is everywhere!
-I don't know if you smoke but its way more socially acceptable here than elsewhere
-Qdoba and Fazolis are amazing!
-You're gonna be in the hometown of the KY derby
-Derby pie is delicious
-Mint Juleps
-It's Lou-a-vulle not Louie-ville
-There aren't any pro-football or basketball teams so everyone cheers for UK. Unless you're black or from Louisville, then you cheer for U of L
-The weather is unpredictable. One day is can be 70 degrees and the next is can snow. Invest in winter clothes, especially snow boots.
-Louisville has this awesome firework show called Thunder over Louisville
-Louisville has busing so almost everyone goes to private schools. Most are same sex and christian. The football rivalries between the male schools are ridiculous. Even in college they continue arguing about which school is better.
I've only been to the mall at Louisville (it's really nice, tons of shops) and have been mostly in Lexington but I think you'll come to love KY. Good luck on the move!
