Students enjoy life on one of the nicest campuses in the country. The University Community Centre is home to many student-run clubs and media outlets, including The Gazette, Western's daily student newspaper, TVWestern, the campus television station, and CHRW, fondly known as Radio Western. The campus also houses the popular student pub, the Spoke, as well as the Wave, a restaurant / dance club. School spirit runs high at Western, as sporting and social events are well-attended. Orientation (Frosh) Week and Homecoming are especially popular.
