WHAT I LIKED
I love the small size of Western. A student can get to know their professors and work with them. As a music major, I had so much fun with fellow music majors. We felt like a family.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The weekend life was pretty boring. This was many years ago though. I believe it is much better now.
