exciting!

Advice for new Hilltoppers?
Make the most of everything WKU has to offer and be brave! Join clubs, apply for scholarships,
go to game days, explore Bowling Green, visit the planetarium, and take advantage
of every opportunity available to you. College goes by quickly, so get involved, build
meaningful relationships, and don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone.
What does the WKU experience mean to you?
The WKU experience means becoming a version of yourself you didn't even know you could
become. When I graduated, I remember reflecting on my freshmen self and realizing
I had become someone I never dared to dream of. I had grown so much, done things I
was once scared of, and taken on opportunities I didn't know I would have or have
the capability to pursue.
My favorite WKU tradition and/or memory is:
My favorite WKU tradition is Midnight on the Hill and Dance Big Red. Midnight on the
Hill benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Dance Big Red supports Children's
Miracle Network Hospitals. It was so special to work alongside my friends and peers
for something bigger than ourselves. The events were so much fun, but what was rewarding
was seeing our hard work contribute to causes that really matter. I'm so proud of
the philanthropic impact the Hill makes!
What is your favorite spot on WKU's campus?
The Commons! There's always a friend to see, a quiet place to study, or a spot to
hang out. My favorite coffee shop, Spencer's, is there, and it's such an amazing place
to take in campus life. The colonnades are right outside and are perfect for when
the weather is nice!
