"I’m not a 'snow bunny,' so I find as much to do on campus as possible to keep myself engaged."
Danielle Lauridsen
"I love Western because it has allowed me to connect with my professors and I’ve built friendships for life."

Sam Degenhard
"There are not many places where you can work out a problem 1-on-1 with your professor in their office after class and shred with them the next day on the slopes."

Alice Stern
I feel like when I walk into a classroom I am connected to the other students and the professor personally. It is so different than being just a number in a large lecture class that larger institutions offer. I also love how easy it is to be involved on campus. I am more than a number at Western. Instead, I am an important member of my program and I matter to my professors and colleagues.
Dakota Brown
This place is like a private college, and I don’t think I would have had the same opportunities and personalized attention elsewhere.
