university of western ontario

It is a very nice University and anybody who can study here should! It is not something I would recommend somebody from out of town should go out of their way to see. There is food and some stores in the area but not worth going here for.

It has a very beautiful campus and some really knowledgable professors. Their Science program is quite competitive but it is a party school as well.

For anyone looking to see beautiful architecture and landscaping, UWO is an excellent place to visit. The university has many hidden gems (the arch under University College, the Stained Glass walkway from Thames Hall to Somerville House, etc) that really add to its beauty. In addition to beautiful landscaping year round (It's particularly impressive when the purple tulips are in bloom in the spring) Western has some excellent dining options. The Spoke is great for a quick beer, The Wave is excellent for an informal meeting and the nearby Windermere Cafe/Windermere Manor owned by the University (in the Research Park) are excellent for more formal occasions. Definitely worth a visit !

The University campus is a very easy walk with many heritage buildings. The Weldon Library is a central hub and joins with the central campus services areas with stores and other services. There is a wonderful recreation facility on the south end of the campus. If your child is thinking of attending University then it is worth a visit.

I live in this city, and cannot recommend you spend your time touring Western University (formerly the University of Western Ontario). It is poorly planned eyesore of different styles and shapes of buildings. Some of the buildings have a older charm and are made of stone, something next to it is an architectural disaster and is made of some newer building materials. The students are poor citizens of the city, often causing trouble and showing egregious disrespect. They don't obey any traffic signals, so be very careful if you are driving. Also, the university has its own police "division" and they are happy to pull you over for little (or no) reason. Spend your time elsewhere, such as on Richmond Row or Masonville Mall.

I love the old brick on the buildings. It's a very nice campus. It's a large campus, but it's not too spread out. Everything is accessible with a short walk.

It is a really beautiful school. Attended the school during my university exchange. The university hill in my opinion is the most beautiful part of the school.

Campus is sprawling and gorgeous. Visited family and am impressed with the level of maintenance. Flower beds composed of various purple-hued blooms, purple being the main school color.

Just visited Ivey Business School, and experienced what it is like to be a student. Outstanding school, incredible faculty, and beautiful new building. A must see, when in London, Ontario next.

One of my favourite things to do is walk around the UWO campus. It is so pretty in the fall and winter. Very little traffic on campus as it is restricted so it is safe for walkers .. in fact the campus as a whole is very safe. The Thames River wanders through the campus and the buildings are classical/ivy league type interspersed with modern ones. A great way to spend the afternoon...take the bus if going on a weekday as parking is scarce.

This may be the most beautiful university campus in Canada. The architecture is Ivy League and architectural control on all new construction ensures the look is maintained. Traffic is restricted in the central campus making for a pleasant visit. There are lots of green spaces and the picturesque Thames River flows through the grounds. I often bicycle to the the campus on London's fabulous Thames Valley Parkway paved trail network. A must-see for any visitor to the city.

Western University is a must see for London. 3 of my kids and I all went here for education. Great University for the world to share.

My wife and I and our 4 children received our degrees there.The architecture and the attempt to maintain the sandstone building heritage and design lines are also part of our liking the collegial institution.
