International student reflects on journey
Zainab Alshatti, an international student and electrical engineering major from Kuwait, said she first learned about WKU from a family member back home.

"My husband’s cousin told me about WKU. He came here as a student in the 1990s and advised me to come based on his positive experience,” Alshatti said.

Alshatti, who will receive her bachelor's degree next weekend, has enjoyed her WKU experience. “I love Bowling Green. I love the people here at WKU because they’re just so friendly," she said.
