“Internship at Trojan Tech”

Bryan S

Canada, Undergraduate
Engineering, Mechanical, 2024

Overall

My school offers a job board and it does offer a lot of job opportunities and internships but personally I found my internships on my own through my own connections to save money on the career job board fees.

Pros

A large variety of engineering internships.

Cons

The price is expensive for what you get.

Overall

I wish I had known...

I personally was there in the fall term. At least with european universities this fits better as the semester at Ivey goes from September to December. The spring term might be conflicting with your program at home as it goes from beginning of january to end of April and the courses for the spring term have to be selected roughly until before the preliminary fall term.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

“A school that provides plenty of opportunity”

Zain A

Canada,
Business Studies, 2023

Overall

My time at Western University and the Ivey school of Business has been one that is filled with a plethora of opportunities and really supporting staff and faculty.

I was always given the chance to try new things and was never barred from new experiences. There were so many different clubs to join and I was always having fun.

The courses for the most part were engaging, but repetitive at times. However, the professors and faculty were engaged in their work and provided me with a lot of support in my 4 year journey.

Pros

A diverse student community

Cons

Being more transparent with students that are looking to alter their career path.

I wish I had known...

I knew it would be cold, over there, but I did not expect it to be that cold. So take really warm clothes.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Go there for an experience in North-American education and for the courses. If you are planning to party you can better choose another university as nightlife was not that good in London (ON)
