Get to Know Campus
Picture this: Gothic architecture and ivy-covered buildings next to the peaceful Thames River and nestled within 1,200 acres of beautifully green rolling hills. How does that sound as a study spot?
Western’s campus is a community with more than 44,000 students, professors and staff.
Our campus operates like a small city with everything you need — eateries & coffee shops, your doctor’s office, a hair salon, groceries, etc. — all within campus grounds.
