Student Responses to Review Topic: Am I Enjoying Being Here

  • Justin from Louisville, KY
  • Jan-05-2012 I am a current student here

    I looked at several different colleges in high school. Once I decided on WKU, I was nervous that maybe I had made the wrong decision. It only took a week on campus for me to realize that I had made the best choice and I instantly fell in love with it. I made a lot of friends very quickly and have had some of the best times of my life, and hopefully there are many more memories to be made. I LOVE WKU!

    I know that I will enjoy being close to home, and I love the campus already because I have been on multiple field trips, as well as having spent a week there during FEA camp. I love the campus. It's so beautiful.

    I have visited WKU several times, recently applied for my apartment and extremely excited about attending this University! It is a gorgeous campus with many opportunities for students to get involved with others and ultimately grow as a person and become a successful part in the work force as well as the lights to the bright future of our country and world.

    Being from Louisville it was a tough transition coming here to Bowling Green, but as I got more involved and met new and exciting people I opened up more and expanded my thoughts and values on being here. My experience here has been worthwhile and I wouldn't change it for anything.
