- Postgraduates: Western University of Western Ontario has 5,297 graduate students, including full-time and part-time students and post-graduate medical residents. For Western University of Health Sciences, the enrollment is 3,833 graduate students. Since the question does not specify which Western University, I will provide a range based on the available information: 3,833 to 5,297
- Administrative Staff: The number of administrative staff at Western University is not explicitly stated in the provided sources. However, based on the information given, it appears that each college within Western University has its own administrative team, and the total number of administrative staff would be the sum of these teams across all colleges. Given the detailed lists of administrative staff in each college (e.g., College of Podiatric Medicine, College of Health Sciences, College of Optometry, and College of Pharmacy), it is reasonable to estimate that there are at least several dozen administrative staff members. Therefore, a rough estimate would be in the range of **50-100** administrative staff members. However, this is an approximation and the actual number could be higher or lower depending on the specific roles and departments not listed in the provided sources

Such an amazing university!

One of the best universities in Canada. Definitely better than Ryerson (TMU), York, Guelph, UOIT, and UofT. Those complaining just did not fit in well and came into it with a negative mindset about the school. The school was built in the 1800s and has a long history (way longer than the newer schools across Canada) of academia, and research.

Talk to current or past students about their experiences—everyone is pretty approachable and you'll get a better idea of whether you'd want to go here or not. Although, from everyone (EVERYONE) I've met/talked to on campus...nobody has regretted coming here. It really is what you make of it, and Western has a lot to offer.

I am an undergraduate of mathematics and I have been enjoying my study here over the last two years. Profs of Math are willing to help students to be successful and I like them very much.

The engineering community is really unique and tight-knit, the campus and social life is hands down the best in Canada.

Bad reviews

This school, the student population, and the teachers and staff working here are absolutely awful. It is disgusting the way everyone behaved here. Too many issues to discuss in this review. One of the worst cities and universities you could study at in Canada.

The overall quality of services is going down since the leadership change in 2019. The school's plan is to receive 20,000 more students by 2025 to make more money (Currently , The school is already packed with people.). Administrators of the school are ridiculously rude and arroagant.
Overall 1.4
Completely unprepared for the pandemic. The professors have done an awful job, if at all, in preparing their classes. You simply will not be getting an education here. I advise trying another university.

not great
Overall 1.7
I went to Teacher's college at Western. Very useless program; very underwhelming experience. Would never suggest to anyone to go here. The work you'll do here will teach you nothing. They ask for much feedback but no changes are made. I am a very passionate learner but I became very bitter in this program. Learned nothing, paid a ton, wasted time.
Overall 1.9
Charging student $70 for a parking ticket! It is already so crowded but the school just want more students in to make money! It is a public school but they keep sucking blood from the students! Also professors suck and rude, same as TAs. They dont give a shit about your future that can be rudely reflected on your GPA.
