M.A.S.T.E.R plan was the perfect way to help me get acclimated to my life here on the hill! I learned so much about our campus resources and the social sessions made it fun and easy to connect with other students! I made some of my best friends during M.A.S.T.E.R Plan week and I will always be grateful for the experience I had and the memories I made. I would recommend M.A.S.T.E.R plan to any incoming freshman at WKU!

My M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan experience was something that I have never experienced before and am grateful that it happened. I got to meet so many new people that became my best friends throughout the year. The small floor meetings we would have were helpful because we got to see where our classes were and I got closer with the girls on my floor. Master plan is a chance all incoming freshman get that allows you to have fun, make many new friends and prepare you for your future on campus. I am thankful that I got to experience this and would definitely go back if I had the chance.

M.A.S.T.E.R Plan was a great experience that helped me transition into college life. I was able to learn about campus and available resources I have as well as connecting to other students during this time. During M.A.S.T.E.R Plan I got closer with those on my floor in the dorm and was able to find my group of friends that I will forever be thankful for. I loved my experience with M.A.S.T.E.R Plan and would recommend it to anyone coming to WKU!
