Myself and my cohort from the Master Educators Course (class 02-18), were delighted as the great…read morepeople at Western Kentucky University (the college that facilitates the MEC) invited us to their campus last week, to join other faculty members and educators for a key note speaker from WPI (Dr. Raz) as he discussed with us project based learning. Afterwards, we all got to eat lunch at the (I'm guessing it was some kind of chow hall - please forgive my primitive Army terminology), at which tome we were joined by several of the Deans on campus whom talked to us further about our roles as educators. Oh, perhaps I forgot to mention - myself and my peers all attended the MEC for the last 6 weeks because we are all teachers at our colleges. Yes, we are all full time, active duty Army, but on special assignment, selected to be Military Science instructors at various universities across the nation. I, for example, teach all the Military Science and Leadership 200-201-202 courses for Niagara University in New York. Anyways... after lunch we had a meeting with the WKU Provost. Then, we were given a tour of the school, which included MY favorite part, the basketball arena lol. Finally, we had the opportunity to visit with Dr. Guffey, who is my cohorts Organizational Leadership Professor, and with whom we have been working with in person, and will continue to work with via distance learning for the next term. We did one summer term in person, but the fall term we have to do online, because we have to be back at our schools to teach. She's been an amazing asset to us and very instrumental in our success during the MEC (which consists of Organizational Leadership 300, Instructional Design 460 and Instructional Design 465). The campus was GORGEOUS! I was so impressed. And the fitness facilities and athletic facilities were state of the art! It's a DIV I program now, and they had DIV I facilities. Loved it. I know every place has it's own weather patterns, but the WKU campus in mid August is absolutely stunning. And I particularly liked this visit, because I'm actually a WKU student! Yuuup, I'm a Hilltopper! But being a career military man, I can't just take off and go to college for 4 years. So, all of my higher education has come via distance learning (online). WKU has a great online system set up, and they are extremely military friendly. I'm really proud to be a member and a student. I'll be earning my Masters in Org. Lead with them via their "jump program". But it's always nice to see that the online school you're attending and paying for, isn't just a call center "diploma mill" in some high rise office building in a big city. No no, WKU is as real as it gets. And such a lovely school. Go Big Red! Go Tops!

I may not be in college, but WKU is amazing. I live near the campus, and my parents went there. My…read moreschool had field trip to the planetarium than ate lunch and had a scavenger hunt!

I am in their automotive program and working to transfer after I am finished. I have been enjoying the small class size and being able to talk to my teachers and get help where needed without difficulty, as there are plenty of resources available to students for tutoring or one-on-one if you ask. My advisor understands how to help his students succeed, and he helped me work with faculty to get financial aid and class scheduling sorted out to keep me on track. While I did have some paperwork hoops to jump through because of the school system, they helped me get everything sorted out. All in all I have found it to be the best place I could have gone to begin my higher education.

I was flat out lied to when I applied for the RN program. I followed my advisor's instructions to the "T". I was told I would have "no problem" getting accepted. I wasn't accepted and its several months later ... and I still haven't been given an answer why. I have attended 4 other colleges in the past. I have a 3.8 GPA in my Bachelor's degree and a 3.0 in my Master's degree. I took all prereqs. with good grades. I checked at another KCTCS college and they are stunned why I wasn't accepted. Go to Western Kentucky University if you can afford it. It is the best university I ever attended. If you are close enough to attend Somerset Comm College, do it. They got thier act together!

My daughter is learning so much with them and is very happy! They have a schedule they have the kids on and provide breakfast, lunch and snacks.

I'm completely secure with the care they provide and don't obsess over whether or not she's ok. Happy baby = happy AND relaxed mama! These chicks are 10 stars in my book!!
