Inside the classrooms, I was taught by lively, helpful, and informative professors. Outside the classroom, I learned a lot about myself through living in the dorm and participating in extra-curricular activities.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Living in the dorms gave me the opportunity to meet many diverse people. Whether we were playing board games in someone's room or enjoying an evening out I was always able to find a way to enjoy myself and take a break from the books.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Western is a reasonable school and they are trying to help students through programs like the Western Edge. No matter where you go, college is going to cost you, so I am glad I am spending my money on a school with excellent professors, academic programs, and an inviting campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I know you have all probably heard this ten million times and you won't believe it until you experience it yourself. However, I am going to say it anyway. Do not be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. It is the only way to meet new people and grow as a person. I knew absolutely nobody on campus when I arrived on move-in day and I was horrified. However, with the help of a friendly roommate and my newly acquired ability to introduce myself to strangers I was able to find friends and a feeling of home within the first month. If you are able to make college feel like a second home, you will be more successful in all aspects of school.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Western is great for students who like having a large student body and endless opportunities without the feeling of being overwhelmed by an enormous campus.
