Different times

During the time I was there, they had Freshman Orientation, which was call academic transition program (ATA) and you can hear the same complaints at WKU that you hear from parents and students at Freshman Orientation at ASU. Boring, not necessary to do some of the programming. The DUC or what I would refer to as their MU was quieter than ASU, as they only have 17,000 students on campus.
They have the same time schedules for classes, so at 10:00, there are hardly any students to be seen, but at 10:45, it is as if they all popped out of the ground to go to their next class. All classes are scheduled as the same times, so it definitely does not look like people walking the campus all the time. They have 15-minute intervals between classes, very similar to a high school scheduling, so when classes start there aren't any students wandering around, unless they are not in class and are leaving campus, or are not going to class. Feels very different from ASU because you see students all day long one would never know if someone failed to go to class.
