WKU campus
The city campus of WKU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Bowling Green has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The educational institution has its own library.

The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
