Impact of my global learning experience
I took the summer exchange program at the National University of Singapore (NUS). It was a good opportunity for me to take a look at this university where I wish to do my master's program. NUS has a great academic reputation and provides excellent art and social science courses.
Why I chose Western
I chose to come to Western because it offered the combination of a strong academic environment, a supportive community, and opportunities for personal growth. As a History student, I was attracted to Western’s diverse course offerings and the opportunity to explore different historical periods and global perspectives. Beyond academics, I was drawn to Western’s vibrant campus life and its emphasis on student engagement, leadership, and international experiences.
Another highlight from my Western experience
I'm the president of the History Society this year!
A fun fact about me
I hate seafood except fish.
My advice for students considering going abroad
Going abroad is a very good chance for you to get to know more about a new country. Go for it!
