Western University (also known as the University of Western Ontario) has developed over 125 years from a small community of scholars into one of Canada's leading universities. Today it is the size of a small city, and is one of the safest and most beautiful campuses in Canada. The university is located on 155 hectares of land along the banks of the Thames River in London, Ontario. Click here to view a map of the campus. Western University is a vibrant centre of learning with 1,307 full-time faculty members and approximately 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Through its 12 Faculties, and three affiliated Colleges, the University offers more than 400 different majors, minors and specializations. The University Community Centre is the social centre of the university, which offers a grocery store, pharmacy, post office, bookstore, banking machines, cafeteria, pubs, hair salon, travel agency, games room, cinema, and photo developing center. The athletic facilities at Western include a new multi-purpose athletic stadium, gymnasiums, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a full range of sports and fitness facilities. Western's Student Services Building is home to the Registrar's Office and Western's International Education offices. Student Central, located on the first floor, is where you can obtain your student photo-ID card and request official transcripts. Please note that a valid student ID card is required to take books out of the libraries and to access all athletic facilites.
"My
only regret in coming on exchange to Western Law is applying for one term only,
instead of a full year. Western law is the perfect place for someone looking
for a balanced mix of work and play." --- Pearl Lim, visiting student from the National University of Singapore for the Fall term 2010
