Student Speaks: Of Western Experience

Anonymous

My school year so far at Western has been a pretty challenging, yet enjoyable experience. During September, I met a lot of students who are very motivated, inspiring, and welcoming. In the beginning of the school year, it was really nice to get to know other people and discover how wonderful and intelligent they all are. I made many new friends with very diverse perspectives and personalities. There are many clubs at Western that I could have joined, and I was able to join Interact. I am really fortunate that I decided to join a non-academic club because they act as a break in the day, to do something useful but not stressful. My teachers from my courses are all very helpful when it comes to the things I'm learning because the topics can be tough at times. In general, Western is a really good environment to be learning in and I am enjoying my school year so far.
