Review of Western Kentucky University

from Indiana

Describe your college in three sentences.

WKU is an extremely welcoming school. Students and staff are friendly and convey that they really care about my future. From day one, students will feel like WKU is home.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Go online and learn about WKU, then put your feet on campus to see what its like in person. When you arrive, take advantage of all WKU has to offer - socially and academically. Finally, when you need help, WKU has lots of resources for you. Take advantage of tutoring, guidance, study hours, etc.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

WKU is challenging but very rewarding!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are well maintained. There is a great sense of community and plenty of opportunities to meet new people. If there are any problems, i.e., issues with roommates, etc., WKU resident advisors are there to help.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are lots of great choices and you can find something close to you wherever you may be on campus. There are lots of healthy choices too!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is always something going on at WKU! From team sports to social gatherings, there is a lot of fun to be had for those in greek life and those who aren't.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

WKU costs the same as another university I transferred from - but offers so much more academically and socially!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The red towel is probably the most visible tradition. Also, our mascot, the Hilltopper is very unique!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

WKU is great for students who are nervous about going away from home for the first time. It's also great for students who just enjoy a friendly, warm, and down to earth atmosphere.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

As a mid-term transfer student, I'm still learning about all that WKU has to offer. But I think I am going to be very busy with all that there is to do!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I am looking forward to rushing sororities in the fall. But, not even being part of a greek house so far, I've still been able to enjoy BBQ's and other social events. It has been a lot of fun and everyone has been so friendly and respectful.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I never fear for my safety on campus. If I have far to go, there is a great bus system. But, even if I 'm walking, there are always people around and friends who will walk with me. WKU seems to take safety very seriously and will be there if I needed anything.
