Why I chose Western

I came to Western for the social life and for my program.

My favourite place on campus

All my best memories on campus were in Ontario Hall and Taylor Library!

My favourite place in London

Definitely downtown, because there are so many things to do!

Highlights from my Western experience

One of my favourite Western campus highlights is studying late with friends before an exam. There’s something exciting about everyone working toward the same goal, helping each other out, and enjoying the campus atmosphere even at night. I also love simply spending time on campus, whether it’s going to events, hitting the gym, or walking around. The energy on campus always feels motivating and refreshing.

A fun fact about me

I love animals and I have a golden retriever!

My advice for new students or students considering going abroad

For students considering Western, I would say there truly is something for everyone. Western has clubs for almost every niche, hobby, interest, and culture, which makes it easy to find a community and feel at home, alongside great academic programs. For students already enrolled at Western, my biggest advice is to actually get involved! Join clubs, attend events, and even consider applying for a leadership or director position, as it gives you more opportunities to participate, meet people, and make the most of your Western experience.

I genuinely enjoy connecting with and supporting others. If students ever have questions, need guidance, or are simply looking for someone to talk to, I’d be more than happy to help them navigate their experience and feel more comfortable at Western.
