Getting involved on campus has many benefits. Joining clubs and societies, and coming out to events is a fantastic start. Engaging in these initiatives provides the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and give back to your community, contributing to an overall greater university experience.
Being involved within your campus community also provides the opportunity to explore your passions and strengths. Skills such as event planning, organization, time management and leadership are often developed through involvement in clubs and societies. These are great skills to work on and will be noticed by future employers. Commitment to an activity aside from school demonstrates initiative, curiosity, passion and personality.
The best way to learn about the programs and clubs you're interested in is by asking people living the experience. Our Arts Ambassador Team is here to answer all your questions related to Waterloo's student life!

A Living-Learning Community is a small group or “cluster” of first-year students who are enrolled in the same academic program or faculty, who share classes, living space, and friendships. In a Living-Learning Community, clusters of 8-16 students from one program are placed within larger residence communities of 40-60 students. This arrangement gives you the opportunity to live near your classmates and to meet people from other academic programs.
Whether you’re staying up late to study for a test or getting together to work on a group project, it‘s reassuring to know that those around you are sharing similar experiences.
The ARBUS Living-Learning Community recruits upper-year Honours Arts and Business students as Peer Leaders. Peer Leaders develop one-to-one relationships with other students, share their academic experiences, refer students to campus resources, get students involved, and build connections with faculty, alumni, and other upper-year students. See the Peer Leaders page for the application process.
Students in the Honours Arts and Business program are encourage to network with their peers through this society. Connect with the Arts and Business Student Society on Facebook, Twitter, or email them at arbussociety@gmail.com.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
