    I am going into my second year at WKU and I feel that I have already noticed a big difference in how I think about certain topics. The majority of my professors have opened up my eyes to certain topics that never really crossed my mind in high school. Because of this quality education I began to feel a higher sense of maturity which is a big part of the first year in college. The professors seem to take a big interest in their students in making sure that they attend class and work towards bettering themselves as a student. read full review

    Being an hour and a half away from home and friends made the first couple of weeks tough at WKU. I would suggest you requesting a room mate though, as I didn't have any luck with the girl I roomed with my first month. I now have a really fun roommate who shares the same major as me so we get along great! I also suggest getting in with clubs or organizations. I didn't look for a church group/ bible study until my second semester but if I had known about RUF my first semester, I would've got involved that much sooner.
