I visited the campus while staying in the area for the total solar eclipse in 2017. The campus was clean and safe. Internet searching showed that this was the only place in the US with white squirrels. I walked around the campus for 2 hours but only saw regular squirrels. Many students were not aware that this campus was known to have white squirrels and those who were aware said they never saw one. Just as I was about to give up, I spotted one by Potter Hall! See photos.

Went here for 4.5 years. Graduated with a degree in Accounting, minor in Finance, and a few certificates. Beautiful, especially during the spring. Just a bit from Downtown. Would recommend.

President wont take your calls. No help if you dont come from a traditional family. They all say the care as you are bounced from office to another without anyone helping. Promising to return calls that never happen. We were so excited to see her attend there. She really enjoys her classes and campus. Now we are dreading the next four years. They are pushing us towards loans to pay when she qualifies for aide. Im sure review will be removed, but maybe one non-traditional student will read and save themselves the trouble. Dont let the answer to my review fool you. Weve been there multiple times in person. They want to force students into boxes instead of trying to understand unique situations. Trying to force them to rely on people the student knows wont help. What is the worse is having to drag student through their past then saying that its too bad, it has to be that way. Not caring the pain they are causing. Again non-traditional students look elsewhere!!

Beautiful campus in the heart of Bowling Greens historic downtown district. A lot of events in Bowling Green are held here. If you dont have a WKU parking pass, it might be difficult to find parking within close proximity to campus.

My sister comes here. She always talks about how her classes give her a nice challenge and how shes respected. This is definitely going to be my future collage. Its not too far away from home so thats good

I went here for only a brief time. However, I had an amazing experience. Learned alot while I was here. Also, they are not as high priced as alot of the other universities.

I attended from 2014 to summer 2016. It was the best college experience. As an international student, all faculties were very helpful not in only at college, they were helpful in everything foreign people may need. WKU offers buses transportation from dorms to school and many shopping centers. Also you can find many fields of study programs. I am glad that I am an alumni of WKU .

Not many places to study at all is my main concern. The older dorms are very gross with small roaches that is not addressed. Clean campus overall and pleased for the most part with my stay

WKU was a great choice for my undergraduate education. From the campus life to the education in the classroom I feel the time I spent at Western was both enjoyable and key to my recent endeavors in the real world. Thank you Western Kentucky!

An excellent choice. I spent my best years there and I had an all-around in depth understanding of the engineering studies. Great spirit, an easy going and safe town with the best people in US!

Plan on coming here in 6 years. This school will be awesome!I plan on having a writing major and my grandfather was the head of the biology department so that might help with my tuition. I am already writing a book that I plan on publishing before college.

My son attends and is enjoying his time there. His only complaint is that its a small town. I compared it to Cookeville (TTU) in the 80s. By 93 it started exploding and lost a lot of its charm. WKU only suffers from the lack of selection that bigger campuses offer in classes, majors and schedules.

Home to the world famous Hilltoppers football and basketball teams. And The Hilltoppers music group in the 50s. The campus is beautiful. The grounds crew keeps the campus looking great, from the flowers to the fresh cut grass. Everything is nicely manicured. Multiple dining options are available such as Popeyes, Panda Express and more.

I love Western. The B.E.P (Best Expectations Program) which is a program you are required to be in if our grades get too low did not do a good job to help students improve their grades this academic year (14-15) as it did previously (13-14). It is now student ran and there are no B.E.P advisers to help you with your concerns anymore, there are also no more study requirements... which for me helped me to make sure all my assignments were completed. Also there are no more guest speakers. The cut backs are probably due to budget cut backs. Dorms need remodeling all the funds (our money) seem to go to new buildings and the remodeling of places tourist go the most instead of going to our living conditions as if they dont care. But besides that Western is amazing, great atmosphere great people.

The convenience of a WKU campus being close to home was the best part of this school. As far as the program I was in I did not enjoy it what so ever. The program didnt require critical thinking or much application of the concepts self taught from the textbooks. My ADA was violated 2 semesters in a row by the same teacher and the disabilities office declined to look into it because it didnt affect my letter grade when final grades were posted. The career prep services are mediocre at best and they are of no assistance once you graduate. The accommodations put in place for taking test for ADHD at the Owensboro campus are absolutely awful. I was put in a room a little bigger then my closet with 5 other students to take exams. I declined to use that service after the first time because of how distracting the environment was in that small space. There is no campus feel here and no organizations you can join since its not at main campus. The financial aid department wasnt helpful while I was there or even once I graduated when I had questions about the loans I received, while at WKU. The class sizes are super small which was enjoyable. Theres little flexibility to class times if youre in your major and that can cause some problems if you are employed full time. I personally did not feel prepared to go out as a professional once I graduated from WKU. I got the degree with no problem straight As actually, but I dont think I learned as much as I should have. I did not enjoy my time at this school.

I would have liked the school if it wasnt for biased faculty members, racist cops, crazier than usual street preachers, rude drugged up locals in public transportation, and lackluster education. Dont bother going here if you care about your educational prospects and your sanity.
