"I chose to come to King’s because of the small class sizes, which gives me more of a chance to engage with my professors and friends. Because King’s is part of Western University, I will receive a Western degree. My favourite part of King’s is the diversity of its students. My friends are from different parts of the world so I have had the chance to learn more about different cultures and languages.
"King’s provides lots of resources and support including the MEM Help Centre (for the School of Management, Economics, and Mathematics) and The Write Place. I get help from the MEM Help Centre for my math homework and the tutors at The Write Place help me with my essays.
