Why I chose Western

Western has a really good social life/ work life balance. I wanted to go somewhere that felt like home and somewhere that gave you an opportunity to experience new things and make new friends.

My favourite place on campus

I would say my old residence (Essex Hall). I met so many amazing people and made so many fun memories I’ll forever remember.

My favourite place in London

I love Masonville Place Mall. If I’m not on campus, you will for sure catch me there.

Highlights from my Western experience

I would say going to my first-ever Western football game was a moment I’ll never forget. It was something I wasn’t used to at all, but I was shocked with how much everyone loves Western. GO MUSTANGS!

A fun fact about me

I’m down for almost ANY side quests.

My advice for new students or students considering going abroad

I’d say don’t stress it too much. You’re going to find your people. SAY YES to everything. You’re going to enjoy your university experience. Cherish it while you’re here because four years pass by so quickly.
