A great close-knit university where people thrive on team spirit. With a very strong sports based curriculum, it was easy to meet my university course requirements. Staff and students overall where very accommodating.

Final comments
Studying abroad is not for everyone but for those that take the challenge, the opportunities are endless. It forces you out of your comfort zone and dares you to experience the unknown. It's a self-learning exercise, uniquely yours through the people and places that come into your life and you emerge more independant, worldly and adventurous.

Rude staffs and over charge
A W
Canada, Undergraduate
, 2008
Overall
I was an international student. I chose two online courses during summer. I applied and paid online. After completing those courses, WLU sent me a bill for those course again since I was an international student and I have to pay twice. But their student booklet and their price on web stated clearly. 

Deb Da Costa from their business office was very rude. She threaten me: 'do you want a degree or not'?  And they blocked my student account to apply next course without paying another half. What a bully!

I was young and didn't anticipate this and not know how to response. And nobody cares what was right from WLU. 

If you change your rule in the middle of game, is it fare? You thread students to cover up your mistakes on billing. I applied on online and I didn't make a mistake. 

Don't collect money by threatening ppl, unless you are gang
