Impact of my global learning experience
St Andrews was such a unique opportunity for me. It really challenged me to balance my academic commitments and also explore a new country that I've never been to before. I was able to travel and also see the difference between different academic systems. It really widened my perspective.
Why I chose Western
Western has the highest student satisfaction rate, and I also love my faculty here. They are supportive, and they actually know me.
Other highlights from my Western experience
The friends I made at Western are such a highlight for me. Each of them is unique and has different interests, and I loved getting to know them.
Fun facts about me
I love both indoor and outdoor activities. I like to spend time reading and writing, but I also love bird watching.
My advice for students considering going abroad
Just go for it! Don't shut yourself down before other people do.
