My time here at Western has been fantastic so far. The campus is well kept, and the personnel is helpful and friendly. Since my first days at Western, I’ve seen that the administration makes an effort to ensure that all students are happy and settled in. For instance, during my orientation week, I was placed in a few different groups that allowed me to meet and get to know my fellow students. A large university like this, with thousands of freshmen enrolling from all over the world, faces a particularly challenging task in accomplishing this. My high school, which has fewer than a thousand pupils, did not even try to do this. Many people have said awful things to me about the Western and their “party culture,” but to be fair, if you aren’t a part of that society, you won’t know much about it. Throughout the majority of the semester, everyone here studies hard.
