I had an awesome experience at Western Kentucky University. My teachers and classes were great. I made friends through my sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi. The campus is beautiful and easy to get from place to place. I would do it all over again if I could.

I think the school has great educational offerings and students need to maximize the opportunities available to them. However it’s hard to find those opportunities and their career guidance is a total joke. They should have freshmen take career aptitude tests before declaring a major and then their academic advisor should work with them on a plan.

I was lucky in that my teachers actually responded to emails and gave constructive feedback when necessary. Even during COVID, when classes became online-only and then later hybrid, they were very good at communicating what they expected. I was also able to get an internship through my professors and that’s what helped jumpstart me in careers post-graduation.

Do not waste your time and money at this school. Campus is nice and the town is great, Everything else sucks. If you have a disability, good luck contacting SARC in a reasonable time, getting someone to answer the phone, or to get a call/email back. The school also forces you to buy things to make up their deficit for constructing a new building ($320 flex plan even though I live off campus). The faculty (not always including professors) are extremely rude, do not care, and will treat your student... Read More

Would highly recommend not giving this school your money. Not sure how other departments are, but the MFGE instructors have a 'holier than thou' mentality paired with poor online instruction. Majority provided 0 lesson plans/help, relied on sites like Mcgraw Hill instead of actually teaching themselves. It's not hard to video a lecture and post it for online students to review. Advisor has 0 respect for students, even though I can gaurentee I triple his yearly salary at half his age. Will not return... Read More

At WKU I feel like the education program was great. However, the requirements that were established for an English/Literature emphasis I believe were entirely too rigorous. I was taking 18-19 hours per semester, and felt overwhelmed with all of the work I had to do just so I could graduate in the 4 years. WKU's tuition rates I believe were also super inflated compared to it's competitors in size and geographical area. However, I enjoyed my time at the school. I just felt overall, that the school...

The school itself has some amazing teachers, with some amazing knowledge of the subjects they teach. It is the higher up you go the more problems begin to show. The college continually changes their budget and have recently been cutting programs constantly. Tuition is on the rise and it was already high before then. For some reason they have also decided to force meal plans upon students who are not living on campus now. This is something you have to pay for out of pocket and is not included in financial...

This program was excellent in teaching you what you need to know before getting out in the real world. They taught you how to slow down and due self-care, so you would not get burnt out. This school taught me to be myself and that it is okay to have a mental break down every now and then, but that you should get back up and keep trying. They worked with me on setting up flexible internships that worked around my busy schedule. They provided me with excellent support not just from there on campus... Read More

When called to inquire about the graduate program lady was super rude and extremely disrespectful. When asking questions I was told it was not her job to inform me of my inquires and to google search it because it was an online class. Would strongly suggest somewhere else with better online support.

The professor for my major were amazing!! They always knew how to keep people interested! Even my hardest professor still made things fun. The school itself is huge and beautiful. When I was attending there they were starting on some new constructions, so I am more than positive that it has only gotten better.

WKU is a great school for those looking for a quality education at an affordable price. Located in the heart of Bowling Green, KY, you get to experience diversity without sacrificing the small-town atmosphere. I will say that one of the major drawbacks of WKU is parking. It's definitely a first-come, first serve basis. Don't expect to find a parking spot past 9:00 am. Most of the faculty are very knowledgeable in their fields and willing to help with student success.

I spent two years at WKU to complete my Bachelor's Degree. The classes were great! I learned so much in the classes but especially my marketing classes, I learned not only information, but also how to apply it. Upon graduating, I moved to another city and was able to secure a job paying more than I expected to earn because of my degree from WKU. On top of all of that, the campus is beautiful and people in Kentucky are the nicest.

Western Kentucky University has a very convenient online MS program in Biology. I only ran into one problem. One of their online courses (required) istaught by the most unorganized professors that I have ever been in a class with. I dropped the class twice before finally completing. If Cell Biology isn't your thing, look elsewhere.

Western Kentucky University is an amazing school, and one I'm proud to have attended. I received my bachelor of arts in History with a minor in English, and had the opportunity to learn from an incredible assortment of professors who helped shape my course of study in a positive way. I was always challenged, and was surrounded by likeminded students who I could collaborate and study with daily. Plus, the campus itself is stunning and surrounded by beautiful nature - one of the many reasons I fell... Read More

Western Kentucky University is a gorgeous campus with a lot of very helpful professors. I think the greatest thing I enjoyed about getting my education from WKU was the small class size. I never felt like I was lost in a huge lecture hall.
