I didn't go to Western, and I did admire the school, so I applied for several jobs at Western but never got an interview. I understood I might not be the best candidate, so I called the Human Resources a couple of times, asking for feedback to help with the after application but no one return my cal...

I had the time of my life at the university. I'm kind of sad that they are calling it 'Western University ' and not "The University of Western Ontario". I'm not very impressed with the acrylic tacky looking sign in the front and back of the campus but I guess change is sometimes hard. MOST professor...

As a science undergraduate, I feel sorry for some chemistry student who had terrible years at Western as comment shows. Hopefully everyone could get on his/her own track and carry on. I also did some chemistry courses with Prof. Calvin and Prof. Griffiths, personally I think they are really responsi...

Beautiful campus! Lots to see when walking around inside and out! As a student I was treated as a number not a person. Their priority is clearly to make money, not support their students. There should be a better balance between the two.

Spent 5 years of my life here, and I'm going to miss it so much! My profs were all top-notch and created an awesome learning experience, and the student life is great if you put some effort into making the most of it. No school is without its shortcomings, but going to Western was still the best dec...

Staff are pushy, apathetic and not willing to help. Spending 1.5 month applying for a special permission, end up poorly. As a fourth year, definitely wouldn't recommend to students who want to pursue a comfortable university life.

Good scenery and athletic center. Western has decent academic focus, especially in medical science and the Ivey Business school. It also has a good philosophy program. Small class sizes in less selective programs may lead to greater opportunities in research, etc.

I would have to agree with a fellow poster a few down from mine, this school will leave you with a bitter feeling even though it is not a difficult school to obtain whatever degree you are seeking. There are administrative rules that are antiquated and frankly, favour wealthy students far above and ...

Waste of money, idk why this school is so overrated,it's a tier 3 university at best. This school's academic sucks,and not managed well,and scams my money by being forced to buy lab manuel,mastering physics and mastering engineering. Exams are also very unprofessional.

I decided to do an MSc in Chemistry at Western. I guess I learned a lot and discovered I don't enjoy academic research. On the other hand I felt like I had little support and was pushed past my limits. The professors there are all about status and grad students are part of that. The mandatory semina...

Sports - as a spectator, I've enjoyed watching football, hockey, soccer and swimming events. There is something for every...

Western has an incredibly beautiful campus teeming with life. It has a good blend of natural and man made element, cementing the fact that you re in forest city. Like any university the staff varies in quality but overall the student experience is enjoyable and welcoming!

The professors and staff at the Faculty of Ed. are unprofessional. The professors and staff will single students out and essentially harass them. I myself have had very negative experiences in this faculty with staff and students. I have also encountered other teachers who have mentioned to me that ...

They are just money making machines, who take money and a lot of your effort in name of application process. Then they simply do not offer admission and their department never ever gets back to you with any sort of feedback.
Rude, pathetic people

Honestly Western is not the same anymore, they do not care about students or what students go through. the school is not what it seems like they are full of it and think they are the best. they should be investigated and magazines like Macleans should investigate the school and rank them truthfully....

I am a freshman. The first impression that Western gave me was that girls were especially crowded, and most of the people around them were Med Sci or bmos. Everyone who comes here often has a common awkwardness, such as entering Med School and ivey business school.
After coming here, I deeply felt ...

There are a few reasons why I love this university:
1) The campus is absolutely stunning. The older style of the buildings give the campus a very intelligent and dignified look. There are also lots of plants and wildlife.
2) The professors (for the most part) are really good at their jobs. They se...

Western truly has the best sense of community. London is the biggest small town! The lecturers really do care about your education and the school itself is rapidly diversifying when it comes to culture, LGBT and indigenous education. I am so thankful to have gotten my education here, it truly is the...

This is a realistic non-sarcastic review of Western. The faculty are great but not perfect, no school will have perfect faculty. The difference between Western and other schools is that Western tries. We try to treat students fair and we try to offer help when needed. However, those promises are a h...

Great place to study, interact, grow, and graduate from but as an institution it tends to pander to what is current, in vogue, and politically expedient. I would not recommend this school for those who desire an objective, critically detached, and impartial interface with the academic world as ther...

Lost a $5,000 scholarship because my department counsellor forgot to submit my application in time (despite frequent emails from my part). After countless hours trying to figure something out with the administration (who of course refused to help me), I realized the $5,000 was lost forever.
