Why I chose Western

I chose Western because of its truly welcoming community. From the moment I arrived, the friendly and supportive atmosphere made me feel right at home. I chose Western because I wanted to be part of a campus that values diversity and mutual support.

My favourite place on campus

My favourite spot is UC Hill because of its wide-open views and open atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to feel the energy of campus and enjoy the shifting beauty of every season.

My favourite place in London

My favourite place in London is the downtown area. I love the vibrant atmosphere of the city centre, and it's always fun to walk around, check out local shops and cafes, or just take a break from campus life.

Highlights from my Western experience

My top highlight was OWeek during my first week at Western. It was filled with exciting events where I made great friends, explored the huge campus, and quickly learned what being part of the Western community is all about.

A fun fact about me

I love cats!

My advice for new students or students considering going abroad

Don't be shy about connecting with people. Moving to a new place can be a burden. Still, by being open to a new culture, trying new activities, and utilizing resources like Western International, you can build your own community here.
