About King’s
King’s University College at Western University offers “the best of both worlds” – big opportunities with a small community feel.
We are an intimate community of 3,500 students that offers small classes, personal interactions with professors and quality programs, combined with complete access to the best student experience at Western University. Founded in 1954, King’s affiliation with Western provides students with access to all university services, classes and programs and, most importantly, our graduates receive a Western degree.
We are located in the city of London, Ontario, and our campus is one block from Western University. Students can take courses at both campuses and easily move between the two on a free shuttle bus or enjoy the short walk. King’s backs on to the beautiful Thames River, is adjacent to green space and is a short distance from the vibrant clubs, restaurants, arts and sports scene of downtown London.
Cultural diversity thrives at King’s with students from every religious tradition, ethnicity and point of view. Approximately 22% of students are international and come from more than 30 different countries. Being part of a community with cultures from all around the world allows students to connect globally right on campus. We are also home of the Catholic chaplaincy team for Western, offering Catholic mass on campus and an active Campus Ministry team.
Renowned as a centre of teaching excellence, we have received top grades from national student surveys on the quality of teaching and student/faculty interactions. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 19:1, students can request more one-on-one time with professors.
As a community that values personal connections while maintaining a high standard of academic excellence, we absolutely offer “the best of both worlds”.

Living close to all the resources at King’s and living with classmates in a supportive learning environment is an excellent way to thrive academically.
We know that your first-year experience is an important time of transition, and we are here to help you achieve your goals. In addition to the full-time staff in the Residence Office, Residence Assistants, Residence Sophs and King’s Academic Peer Mentors are all here to offer peer support.
Double rooms are the standard accommodation for first-year students. If you have special considerations, you may request a single occupancy room on the Online Residence Application website.
Residence is also available for upper-year students in the Epworth Place houses or the King’s Commons. Both residence options are located just steps away from King’s and come with single room accommodation and shared common living spaces.
