Why I chose Western

Western is an amazing university with a program I was very interested in.

My favourite place on campus

Weldon Library, because it offers several quiet places to sit and revise and many resources to help one do so.

My favourite place in London

The beach. I visit to enjoy nature and relax.

Highlights from my Western experience

One of the highlights from my Western experience has been meeting new people and getting involved in the university community. I’ve also enjoyed learning more about myself and becoming more independent throughout my university journey.

A fun fact about me

I find humour in almost everything, making it easy for me to laugh even at the simplest jokes.

My advice for new students or students considering going abroad

For new students, do not hesitate or be shy about asking for help when feeling lost or having questions. Everyone on campus is very willing to help and direct you to the right resources. Additionally, take care of yourselves holistically (mental, physical, emotional, etc.).
