Western Kentucky University — Attraction in Bowling Green

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 didn't 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 didn't 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 it's not at main campus. The financial aid department wasn't 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. There's little flexibility to class times if you're 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 A's actually, but I don't think I learned as much as I should have. I did not enjoy my time at...

Was actually working this morning & for our first day, I can truthfully say I def stressed way too much over it bc it was totally not like I expected & I had fun & am ready to see how the next time is gonna go, it's lil different from today as today was lady topper game & next is hilltoppers so I expect it to be quite a bit more as far as crowd & we stay the whole time to direct them out afterwards as well. So it's gonna be a few more hrs also but that's prolly not an issue I'm sure. We can handle it, we can handle anything that we tackle as a team & I'm thankful I can say that. Enjoy working with my hubby, but countdown has begun bc he goes back to his regular job in April. But we can say that we felt welcome & def didn't have that weird 1st day feeling like a lot of places. They made us feel included & like they were glad we were there. It was a pleasant change. I hate starting a job & feeling like you are the only one that doesn't belong there. This was nothing like that at all & it...

President won't take your calls. No help if you don't 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. I'm sure review will be removed, but maybe one non-traditional student will read and save themselves the trouble. Don't let the answer to my review fool you. We've 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 won't help. What is the worse is having to drag student through their past then saying that it's too bad, it has to be that way. Not caring the pain they are causing. Again non-traditional students...
