The University of Windsor is a mid-sized university in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Located in Canada's "automotive capital" across the border from Detroit, this modern-looking university has a student body of approximately 11,000 full-time students (mostly undergraduate) and 3,800 part-time students. Situated at the western end of Lake St. Clair, on the Detroit River, the University of Windsor is Canada's southernmost university.
The University has developed a number of partnerships with local businesses and industry, including the multi-million dollar University of Windsor/Chrysler Canada Ltd. Automotive Research and Development Centre, the only research facility of its kind in North America, and a unique agreement with the Ambassador Duty-Free Store, at Canada's busiest border crossing, which provides student jobs, 400 parking spaces, and an annual cash annuity.
