It took Ludwig Lie a while to get used to the University of Waterloo. Compared to Jakarta, it was cold, he was very homesick, and he didn’t feel like he belonged in the program he had chosen.

Ludwig chose Waterloo because it had the largest Faculty of Mathematics, and it had a co-op program. He knew his interest lay in finance, and once he discovered the Financial Analysis and Risk Management (FARM) program, he made the switch, and his experience improved.

“Waterloo is a place where students have the opportunity to try so many different things.”

Please note that the Capital IQ platform is ready and can be accessed by any student, staff, or faculty member at the University of Waterloo!
