What impressed you positively?
All professors and students there were really nice and friendly. Students shared us their school-life at Western and it was very helpful. They all welcomed us and made us very confortable.
What impressed you negatively?
The school is located in rural area and smelled pretty badly. But you will get used to it after a while. I also learned that school doesn't have any cafeteria, so you have to go outside to buy your lunch. It is kind of inconvenience.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
nothing, but I learned that they just got a private dormitory (own by others, not by school) in campus. Although it is kind of expensive, it is very close to school (only 1 min)and very convenient. You can also have your pet if you want to. That's kind of neat.
What are your general comments?
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience and all faculty members and students there were really nice and friendly. They were trying to get to know us and not to scare us. Also, there was an orientation before the interview and we had a chance to learn more about this school (It was very helpful). In addition, I had the interview on Saturday and traffic was not that bad. But try to arrive beforehand (at least 10 minutes).
