What I wish I had known as a first-year student: I wish I had known more about the university lifestyle. Studying far away from home, without parental supervision, was something in which I wish I had more experience coming into first-year at Waterloo.

What are your plans for the future? For my career, I see myself working in a technology related field. I currently have no particular preference for the type of company, but I hope my future co-op placements will help me decide.
