Western Kentucky University Top Questions

The freshman girls dorm PFT, although I enjoyed living with a group of 800 girls, the dorm itself needs updates. The campus is beautiful this dorm can be depressing in the winter, rooms are small and bland.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the limited funding available to students for financial aid. The unfriendly nature of people in general is also something I do not like. I absolutely love Western Kentucky University! I don't have many things that I do not like about this school.

The worst thing about WKU is the dreaded hill. The academics are up to par and the people are great. The absolute worst thing, and you can ask anybody, is the mile walk up the hill to Cherry Hall or Gordon Wilson Hall. Those are the two plaes that dance majors spend all of their time!

Currently the worst thing about my school is all of the major construcion that is going on now. Often times on a Saturday morning, I will wake up the the sound of jackhammers at 6am, and other times during class, students are bothered by the loud noises of construction. Additionally, due to the construction there is less food options which is also a negative.

I feel stuck and I need a change of atmosphere.

While this question seems basic, I find it very difficult to answer. I have only lived on campus for a few weeks now, but I have yet to find something that I truly hate about this school. I guess for me personally, the worst thing about going here is being a freshman. Being at the bottom of the food chain again isn't the best, but it is in no means horrible. Many uppserclassmen have been very accepting of us so I really don't have any complaints!

This is my first year and I have not had the opportunity to make any assessments yet.

The worst thing is the amount of green space. You have to go off campus to a park to find a place to run around and play sports.

WKU is called the Hilltoppers for a reason.. Everything is straight up the hill.

Coming from Cincinnati, Ohio Bowling Green is TINY in comparison. Sometimes I feel a little trapped.

The worst thing about my school would proably be the hill. Because its a straight shot up towards Cherry Hall, it is a pain to walk up. Walking is the worst at WKU. Also finacial is outrageous, prices of dorms and housing and tutition it just ridiculous.

The worst thing about Western Kentucky University would have to be that it costs too much, even though it is a public school, it is still pricey.

The worst part of the school is the city it is located in. Bowling Green is a small city which makes Western's campus the main attraction. Many students come from larger cities such as Louisville, Nashville, and Cincinati so many students pack up and head home on the weekends.

Parking is probably the worst. All of the lots fill up in the mornings and at night. There is a short window during the day when you are able to get a spot close to where you need to be.

The hill. It is really hard and annoying to walk the hill at 7 in the morning, but it really helps you out in the long run. So that is the worst thing about my school, but it puts people into shape.

The worst thing is the downtime for the school intranet. They do maintence every weekend. In hindsight that is a good thing.

Of the few dislikes I have about Western, the amount of money it costs me is the worst. I am an in state student and my tuition is maybe $1000 short of my friend's out-of-state tuition. I had to take out a $3000 student loan to cover this year, and I have no clue how much tuition will go up by next fall.

Western Kentucky University's 94{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} acceptance rate unfortunately leads to many students who do not truly care about receiving an education. Often this does not interfere with the academics of the serious student, but there are times when it does have an effect. Group work is always a problem if you are placed with students who are not motivated. Also, some professors are forced to lower the level that their classes are taught at to accomodate less academically driven students.

There is a real lack of intellectualism on campus. My biggest disappointment freshman year was that many of my classmates were content to caost through class and drink themselves silly on weekends. I yearned for more academic stimulation, but was unable to find it in most of my classes.

Personally I think the worst thing about Western Kentucky University is the fact that all of the academic buildings are very far from the dorms. I live at the very bottom of the hill and it is very tedious walking up the hill and back to classes especially in the cold weather.
