Why I chose Western

I chose to come to Western because of the amazing alumni base and networking opportunities along with the high-quality teaching offered.

My favourite place on campus

My favourite place on campus is the 4th floor of The Amit Chakma Engineering Building (ACEB). It’s not the most beautiful place on campus, but I have studied for all my assessments there, so I have an emotional attachment.

My favourite place in London

My favourite place in London is Gibbons Park. I like to go on runs there and there are also benches overlooking the water. I like to sit there and think.

Highlights from my Western experience

My first-year Homecoming (Hoco) was a great experience. It really showed me the Mustang spirit and how fun this school is.

A fun fact about me

I can blink with one eye (not a wink).

My advice for new students

My advice for first-year students is to always stay on top of their work and try to get ahead.
