Why I chose Western
I wanted to work with a specific professor who works in my field and challenge myself by studying abroad.
My favourite place on campus
Beryl Ivey Garden. It is right behind our department's building and is often very peaceful.
My favourite place in London
The Michael's store on Richmond. I enjoy working with my hands, and the stuff sold at Michael's presents me with the perfect opportunity to do something besides stress over academics.
Highlights from my Western experience
I met one of my best friends in Western.
A fun fact about me
I write fantasy stories when I am not working on my dissertation.
My advice for new students or students considering going abroad
Give yourself permission to be a beginner. You may need time to adjust to all the differences, including everyday things like bus routes.
