Why did you choose the University of Waterloo? I chose the University of Waterloo because of their outstanding coop program. I liked how the coop schedule was one study term, one work term, for a majority of my degree. I always wanted to take the LSAT for Law School and the coop schedule gave me the availability to do to that. I planned to be study for it during a work term, because I would not have to juggle other school courses on top of the LSAT prep. The coop schedule also saves me from burn out, because I know school can get overwhelming sometimes, so having that work term break will be very nice.

What do you like most about your program? I really enjoy my Legal Studies and Sociology courses because they give me some more insight to what I should be expecting to learn in Law School. I also like having business electives because I have made a lot of new connections through assigned group work. The business classes also give you insight to the business world and the economy, which I find very valuable because this information is explaining partly how society works. With demand and supply chains, along with how to market.

One more thing about yourself? I did complete a summer internship this summer at a Law firm. If there are students interested in hearing about that I would love to share my experience with them, especially if they are considering going into Law.
