Western University Survival Guide Part Two
I graduated from the University of Waterloo and I wished I was aware of all the student services available. I decided to create the Western University Survival Guide to help students be successful from day one. If I knew about these services available at my university, I would have volunteer earlier and made more professional connections.
I also created a UWO Survival Guide Part One here. You will find links for study resources, jobs on campus, volunteer openings, cheap textbooks info and free food on campus. Both guides have hyperlinks so please make sure to download the free PDFs below.
