I have lived exactly one hour from WKU my entire life, but before I came here I had only ever been to Bowling Green once. Over these past four years, this college town has truly become my second home. I have all the different people, places, and experiences to thank for that.
The Best of the Hill publication is designed to celebrate just that! I hope that the Hill has also become your home away from home, but if it doesn’t feel like it just yet– my hope is that this publication inspires you to go experience new things.
My personal recommendations are Poke Fresh for a great meal, Insomnia Cookies for a late night treat, and Hard Copies to find a new favorite album. But, you’ll have to read more to discover Western’s favorites!
I want to thank everyone that voted for Best of the Hill, and I can’t wait to see you all at the Best of the Hill Festival on April 15th! Remember to soak in Bowling Green as much as you can while you’re here on the Hill. And as always, Go Tops!
Sincerely,
