Welcome to the WKU subreddit! Feel free to ask any questions about academics, athletics, or campus life (within reason, of course). If you're a current student, tell us what's going on around campus.

Subreddit Rules:

  1. Be cool. Keep the conversation civil.

  2. Posts must be on topic about WKU or at least of obvious interest to WKU students/faculty/staff.

  3. No soliciting users to fill out surveys.

  4. No politics that are not explicitly WKU related.

  5. Since the Bowling Green subreddit is virtually dead, posts related to the city are allowed within reason.

  6. If a question would be better answered by a specific department/employee on campus, mods have the right to lock the post and provide relevant contact information.

  7. Discussion of anything which violates WKU policies (https://www.wku.edu/handbook/) is strictly forbidden.

Western Kentucky vs UTEP Football Tickets

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.

MBA grads, do certificates even matter when job hunting?

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?

Grubhub not working?

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?

MSW, MA in Clinical Psychology, or MS in Psychology- Psychological Science

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?

Payment plan

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💀)

SAP eligibility

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?

For Music Majors

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?

Questions about BRB!

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!
