9. Tareq Tayeh Faculty: Engineering Third Year Why Western? Western is a brilliant university. It has great education all round and got a lovely campus, one of the best (if not the best) in Canada.

LAMP assists first years so much and I would feel accomplished at the end of the year being part of this awesome program! LAMP 1.0 PEER MENTOR

11. Leo Zhang Faculty: Engineering (Software) Second Year Why Western? I chose Western University because of the amazing opportunities and quality of student life that it offers.

Why LAMP? I had heard about LAMP since first year, but it wasn't until the beginning of third year that I started to get more involved with the program.
