The University of Windsor’s campus sits on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg people of the Three Fires Confederacy, comprising the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa nations.

Windsor stands as one of the oldest communities in North America boasting a storied history, from its backdrop to battle in the War of 1812, its crucial role as the final stop in the Underground Railroad offering refuge to freedom seekers, to its longstanding roots in the automotive industry dubbing the city the automotive capital of Canada.

Nestled in a border city, next to the United States, the downtown and west Windsor campus offers a myriad of attractions. Windsor is known for its diverse culinary scene, rich artist community, and scenic riverfront trail, providing stunning views of the Detroit skyline. Just minutes away, downtown Detroit offers a vibrant hub featuring art galleries including the Detroit Institute of Art, museums, major concert venues, and sporting events.

The city’s unique combination of culture and its proximity to the busiest international border crossing, the Great Lakes and Detroit River creates an unparalleled experience.
