Personal spending habits
THE VARIENCIES OF PRICES VARY A LOT FROM ONE COUNTRY OT ANOTHER. IN CANADA, FOOD WAS PRETTY INEXPENSIVE, EXCEPT PERHAPS ON CAMPUS. AS TO THE OTHER SUBJECT, I SPENT MORE TRAVELING BECAUSE OF THE OPOPRTUNITIES THAT WERE OFFERED TO ME SUCH AS A 5 DAY TRIP TO THE ALGONQUIN PARK, OR CHICAGO, AND SO ON.

Course recommendations
This school teaches case method, not lectures. This means that the students discuss a case and the teacher guides the discussion and draws it to all the important points. Especially if you are used to lecture style a nice and different way. It definitely needs more preparation work and you have to contribute in class for your grade. (Sometimes up to 50%)

Nope, the Richard Ivey Business school at UWO is a great university and deserves its place among the top 25.
Follow their slogan: Work hard, play hard!

Personal comments
The building was quite old and therefore had some problems i.e. room and water heating faulty, sound travelling easily from floors above. The staff at the facility were also not as helpful as I would have liked.
