Western Kentucky University Top Questions

The worst thing about WKU is THE HILL! The walk up and down the hill can definitely take a toll on some people and it is crucial to pay attention to the timing of your classes when scheduling!

Nothing so far.

The worst experience i have had is with the smoking policy, but thats only because cigarette smoke irratates me.

I feel as if our President of the university doesn't care about the students. He only cares about his image and what he will be remembered for doing, even if it spending all of the money on statues and renovating buildings that don't need it. We need that money to pay professors so that enough courses can be offered for the students.

Construction is extremely common at WKU. The institution has a knack to make itself bigger an better than before and that has pros and cons. Tip: Parking is awful all the time, especially for communting students. So go to class early.

The worst thing is that it is on a hill and very steap to walk up. Hard on the knees.

My workload

The worst thing about Western Kentucky is that the resturants on compus have bad times from when they open and close.

The open-door policy. They need to raise the ACT requirement and overall GPA in order to get rid of the people that don't truly want to be here to learn.

I think the worst thing about the school is the cost of tuition and the meal plan. I feel this way because after greaduation I am now in debt and can't seem to find a job that I feel is paying enough to help me pay for the debts easily.

Having to be in so much debt because I am not able to afford college on my own or with my parent's help.

The worst thing about my school is the parking on campus. It is very hard to find a parking spot on campus.

the only thing i dont like is that it feels like a high school.. there is still that feel.. there are cliques.. like the preppy sorority girls, the frat. boys, the wierdos, the dorks etc... i wish it was more cohesive.. i hate the social groups!! why cant we just all get along?!?

Parking is inconvenient for anybody that lives on campus. The current dorm that I live in is in the middle of campus with no close parking area. I have to walk almost half a mile just to park my car. Most of the time students will leave their vehicles and go nowhere until the weekend comes.

I consider the worst aspect of our school to easily be parking. The atmosphere of Western is not easily passed up and while our enrollment is not huge, it is increasing. Being that the town is somewhat small and campus even smaller, it becomes hard to accomodate all new students, whether they be incoming freshmen, international students, transfers or commuters. I think that re-evaluating the parking system is a must. However, I also think that when a new system is put into play it needs to be as enviormentally safe as possible without destroying acres of land with concrete.

The worst part about campus is definitely the parking. There are too many students and not near enough parking spaces for those cars.

The worst thing that I consider about my school is the incapability of the staff to help students decide on a major. I have attended WKU for two consecutive years now and I don't feel that I'm much closer to choosing a major than I was when I originally enrolled. I've pretty much completed most of my general education classes and am now running out of courses to choose from and have been told to basically just pick a major and if you find that you don't like it, continue picking others.
