Western University Ultimate Student Guide Part One
There is so much academic information online and it is hard to keep track of everything. So I compiled the top resources at Western University and created a student guide below. Download the guide to get access to all the services.
After graduating from university, I discovered the abundance of student services available. From my experience, I wished I knew about these resources during my undergrad. It is now my goal to bring more awareness to the various student support and services. I also created university guides for other Canadian institutions so please share with others!
Stay tuned for part two where I will include transportation, local housing, scholarships, mental health and wellness info for Western University.
