Univ. of Western Ontario - whats the 411 on this school???

<p>I am a freshman at Kent State Univ. in Ohio and am thinking about transfering to a school up in Canada, Univ. of Western Ontario....A couple reasons as to why - tuition, a chance to experience another country, adventure..their nutrition prog. at Brescia of UWO - ...I am a 3.7 GPA student and kinda weak on the ACts (22) but....What can the students of UWO and all ya'll Canadians tell me about the (reputation - education - professors - campus life - etc) of the Univ. of Western Ontario???</p>

<p>I am from University of toronto, close to University of Western Ontario, and my friends go there, btw, I think it's a great school, a party school. People are generally very "friendly" and course load is reasonable, although i don't know if you would have a different experience than US, but UWO is definitely worth going to check it out. REP is good in Canada!</p>

<p>Western Ontario is known for having one of the top 3 Econ departments and Business School in Canada.</p>

<p>Western has a great undergraduate Business Program, but its economics department isn't considered "top 3 in Canada." If you want an Economics degree, think UBC, Queens, UofT, and perhaps McGill.</p>
