University of Western Ontario

University of Western Ontario

  • Address: London, N6A 3K7 Ontario - Ontario, Canada
  • Founded: 1878

We deliver ‘The Western Experience’, an exemplary learning experience that engages the best and brightest people challenging them to meet ever-higher standards in the classroom and beyond. We inform every dimension of a student – intellectual, social, cultural as well as physical. From our home in London, Ont., Canada, outward across every continent, Western prepares future leaders to succeed. In 1916, the current campus was purchased from the Kingsmill family, and in 1923 the university was renamed The University of Western Ontario.

Since that first class graduated in 1883, the university has become a vibrant centre of learning. Through 12 faculties and three affiliated university colleges, Western today offers its 36,000-plus students more than 400 specializations, majors and minors. It was at Western where Sir Frederick Banting rose from a restless sleep in 1920 and wrote out 25 words that led to his discovery of insulin. It was at Western where Canada’s first French Immersion program was established at Trois-Pistoles, Québec, in 1932 – a program that continues today. It was at Western where researchers led by Ivan Smith developed the world’s first ‘cobalt bomb’ to treat cancer in 1951, increasing the cure rate for cervical cancer to 75 per cent from 25 per cent.

I absolutely loved doing my undergrad here, and cherished the years I got to spend in our little community on a huge, beautiful campus living in residence [and going broke], getting chummy with the profs [I had small classes because I took Film Studies and German - the more popular programs have huge classes], getting involved with our renowned Orientation Week, and so on. There is so much opportunity to expand your horizons, join clubs, meet people, strengthen your academic skills, but no one is going to babysit you - you have to take the initiative. London might not be the most exciting city in the world, but it is nice, and in and around campus is a wonderful area with just enough feeling of community and plenty to do and see. Lots of museums here! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, there are SO many resources to help you with anything you need, and although it is easy to get bored or used to it and start appreciating it less, it really is a wonderful university to go to, and I'm glad I made the decision to attend here. You really do get the best student experience, coupled with amazing academics and endless opportunities. The snow and buses can sometimes suck, and I spent plenty of time making fun of the typical 'western girl,' but its important to remember that perspective is different from the ground, and every place will have its pros and cons. Also people here are proud of their school and campus - we took offense as a whole at any litter or garbage or general disrespect, and I hope that never changes.
