Walked the hill for the first time in several years. The campus has changed so much, and it looks great, but I miss the nostalgia of seeing the cafeteria that my friends and I used to hang out at. The hill is also a rough climb for those who are out of shape, so be prepared to take a break if you are.

WKU is where I started my American journey! I love it. I made many good friends there, several of them still in my close circle.

I visited the campus while staying in the area for the total solar eclipse in 2017. The campus was clean and safe. Internet searching showed that this was the only place in the US with white squirrels. I walked around the campus for 2 hours but only saw regular squirrels. Many students were not aware that this campus was known to have white squirrels and those who were aware said they never saw one. Just as I was about to give up, I spotted one by Potter Hall! See photos.

The campus is beautiful however some of the staff was a bit ignorant and rude despite how respectful I was with communicating, I decided to go for a different school instead.

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 look elsewhere!!
