I have a pair of WKU vs UTEP football tickets for 10/10/24. I cannot attend as a family matter has popped up. For whatever reason, the TicketMaster through WKU page will not let me resell tickets, only transfer. If anyone is interested in the pair I will sell for a venmo payment of $20 total ($10 per ticket). They are mid seats (lower upper level I believe) but I figured someone could use them. You will have the tickets before you send the Venmo. I'm not that worried about losing $$$ on these but I figured maybe someone here could use them. Any questions just message me, thanks.

My name is Christian Reisner and I am currently running for SGA Freshman Senator. I believe I could make a trumendous impact and would love to allocate some of your votes. If it’s no bother, please go to topnet and vote “Christian Reisner” as your senator.
i plan on taking an online class next semester and am a freshman with no experience, what should i expect?
I'm starting my MBA here and they make you pick 2 certificates before beginning. I've never even heard of certificates before and had to google what they even were. Do employers or recruiters care about them or is this just somthing WKU is doing to get more new graduate students?
I am on the ground floor of Cherry and I legit cannot find the bathroom. Directions please!!
does anyone have any cool and unique on-campus study spots? (besides the obvious ones like the commons)
My GrubHub hasn’t been working since last night. I don’t want to wait until huge lines and I can’t order at most places because they only take GrubHub orders. I’ve shut my phone off and reset it multiple times to no avail. I also called the restaurant group and they were no help. Any suggestions?
I lost a pink metal security wallet on campus, probably in dsu or the commons. Keep ur eyes peeled plz that 25 dollar fine for a new id would suckk
Hello! I just got accepted into the spring semester of the above Master’s. I do not have a background in this at all (bachelors in Psych) and want to hear any advice and experiences for those that have been in this program. What are some things that I can do to help myself come January?
I'd love to be able to find a full-size replica of the WKU vs Rice helmet. Does anyone know of a source that may have it? I found some minis on ebay but prefer full size.
Hi All!
Is anyone in these programs? Are they research heavy?
Goal: Clinical Psychologist.
Back Story: BA in Psychology from UK. 3.27 GPA. Didn’t really connect with my professors. I have taken some classes at my local community college. The only research experience i have is through undergrad. (the year I was going to apply for research positions at UK-COVID happened and it was hard to figure out how to get research experience. Advisor wasn’t much help back then.)
Still trying to decide on which masters would be more appropriate. I know the MA in clinical psychology would be a no brainer for some, but not for me. I’ve taken the GRE once and I didn’t do so well. Im going to take it again, but I’m looking for options if I don’t get the scores I need.
I know most people go straight to a PhD. I am not in that position to do so. Would really just like some advice on which of these programs would help for the end goal?

I am international student who was recently accepted to WKU, I applied for the fall term but was accepted late so I have to defer my enrollment to the Spring Term. As international student, I only know about the TIPI scholarship. I wanted to ask if an international students can get more aid and how will apply for it. I have started the process on the TOP Dollar Portal tho. Also can someone elaborate more on the Honors College and their services. Thank you.

So I currently go to Georgia State University(very reluctantly, it sucks ass), and I plan to go to Wku for the second semester of my sophomore year since I’ve already been admitted and already went to orientation, my Pell grant already pays for my Tuition however I have the option to accept 2 small federal loans. I plan on being in a payment plan for Wku for the second semester, so I was thinking that I’d accept my loans at Gsu and get a bigger refund check, then save that money and put it towards paying for Wku. I worked too hard to settle at gsu and I’m extremely determined to go, does that sound like a decent plan? I’m open to all options(except staying in gsu💀)
I recently reached a 2.00 gpa after finishing a summer course. What my counselor originally told me was if I get back in good academic standing I would get my financial aid back. After filling out my Fafsa and finding out that I’m not receiving KEES or Pell grant money, I went on an hour or two long internet investigation to find out why. Apparently it’s because I hadn’t submitted an appeal for this thing called SAP. I’m only just learning about SAP and that the deadline was like a month ago or something. My family can’t afford to pay $10,000 dollars for my college tuition and I might have to drop out. Does anyone have any more info on SAP or other ways to get my financial aid back before Thursday?

I’m considering changing my major to music. It has always been a passion for me to teach high school level of marching band. What’s the music education department like at WKU? Is it worth it?
Hi everyone, I'm considering moving to KY for the Dental Hygiene program. What are y'alls thoughts about campus, RDH program, profs, staff/faculty - any or all of it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
So I’m a little confused with the Big Red Backpack program. Am I basically renting these textbooks or are they my books to keep? Also, for one of my classes it says BRB includes the online textbook but the physical copy is not available. Does this mean I have to get the online copy or can I also buy the physical copy in the book store? Please let me know, the people at WKU haven’t been answering my calls or emails very well lately. Thanks!
