I knew from the moment that I stepped on campus in my junior year of high school that I wanted to attend WKU and that I wanted to be a Hilltopper. While I love Western, I have many questions that developed about the school throughout the past four years, and I have no idea who to direct these questions. I know there are other students who have similar concerns as mine, and, if you have others, I would love to hear them!
