The University of Western Ontario is located in the City of London in the southwest part of the Province of Ontario, CANADA.  London is situated nearly halfway between the metropolitan centers of Detroit, Michigan, USA and Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is approximately 2 hours driving time from either one. We are in one of the southern most areas of Canada, consequently the summers can be quite hot and humid while the winters are generally much milder than cities lying further north (such as Ottawa, Montreal or Edmonton).
