OPINION: Let Bellingham be your Bellinghome

Going to Western can almost be like living inside two circles of the same Venn diagram. For one, students are part of a large and diverse campus community. Here we can enjoy education, living space, friends, employment, exercise and more – all atop our little hill.

But on a grander scale, Western students are, as the saying goes, Bellinghamsters. And that can be easy to forget when we have everything at our disposal within walking distance. Playing our part as citizens is equally as important as being involved at school, regardless of whether you’re here for four years or 40.
