You’ve checked out admission requirements, residence, fees and scholarships… but what about student life? There’s a lot more to the university experience than attending lectures.
To start off, indulge in your hobbies! Volunteering, workshops, clubs… there’s almost countless ways to get involved on campus.
For example, if you’re looking for an innovative group of students working together on creating something awesome, consider joining a design team. There’s a role for everyone – from raising money to writing up reports and developing software. Any and all Waterloo students are welcome. Or, if that’s not your thing, there are a ton of fun teams, from concrete tobogganing to robotics to rocketry!
Let’s get into some ways to get fit on campus. Whether you’re an athletics buff or simply looking to start a workout routine, there are plenty of resources to help you stay both physically and mentally healthy.
Of course, this article wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Uptown Waterloo. It’s a 20-minute walk from campus and a mere two stops away via light rail transit. It’s the perfect place to hang out at over the weekend or to unwind after class.
Speaking of travelling, step outside your comfort zone and try new things! Here’s an article with advice on how to make the most out of your experience here at Waterloo.
