I am going into my second year at WKU and I feel that I have already noticed a big difference in how I think about certain topics. The majority of my professors have opened up my eyes to certain topics that never really crossed my mind in high school. Because of this quality education I began to feel a higher sense of maturity which is a big part of the first year in college. The professors seem to take a big interest in their students in making sure that they attend class and work towards bettering themselves as a student.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I think that living in the dorms for the first two years made the college experience. You slowly form a bond with people that you are living with and therefore build onto the social life that you work towards. It definitely makes the overall experience more enjoyable for students if they get involved.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although the tuition is a bit high, I feel like the price is worth it. Advisers are very helpful in starting students off properly. Students are made aware of their General Education requirements and are informed of the prerequisites they need to obtain in order to reach administration into the desired Major. With this great assistance, along-side an overall comforting and enjoyable environment, the price is definitely worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Its best to see the university first-hand. The only way to really get a feel for it all is to schedule a visit and take part in one of the many tours that are offered by the students of Western Leaders. The website is also very helpful in seeing what all the university has to offer. Either of these options would be helpful for students interested in attending.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Western Kentucky has an several award winning programs that students can look into. One big thing that makes Western so unique is the emphasis that they put on International Reach. They offer a great opportunity for students of other countries to attend the university and also introduce a Study Abroad program for those interested in traveling outside the United States.
