Corbin is very lucky as it has many higher education offerings in and around Corbin.

Many parents, and young adults alike, do not want to jump ship and leave the nest the first year after high school, and Corbin and the surrounding areas offer the ability to begin your higher education without leaving home. It is also a great benefit for those older students wanting to contiune their education later in life, or start a new venture as well. 

Although not an entirely a direct Corbin benefit except for EKU, sometimes you must give accolades to our surrounding towns and their benfits they offer for all of us.  Living in Corbin, it could be the hub for your higher education needs, as Corbin is just 20 mintues or less to any of the five below listed schools.  The other schools have their approximate driving times listed.
