Welcome, Future Mustang! At Western, you’ll feel at home. You and your classmates are diverse, bright and thriving — you'll belong from the start.
From the moment you arrive at Western, Sophs (AKA your upper-year student leaders) will welcome you. During OWeek, they’ll guide you through a whirlwind of making new friends, taking campus tours, attending sporting events, checking out live music and more. You’ll feel like part of the Western family in no time.
Worried you won’t know anyone? Not a chance! Make friends in the summer before classes start on Faculty Fridays. You’ll come to campus and spend a day with others in your faculty or program to start making connections.
Live with like-minded people in residence. Choose community floors based on your faculty, interests and lifestyle. You’ll be right at home.
Starting university can be overwhelming, but there's always someone there to give you a helping hand. Upper-year mentors are more than a support network — they're often your first friends!
