Why Waterloo?

When looking for a reputable university with a thriving math faculty, University of Waterloo was the obvious choice. As one of the few universities with a faculty of mathematics, an abundance of specialized classes are offered. Considered a hub of mathematical talent, many employers turn to UW for their recruiting needs, giving students a kickstart in their career. I knew the University of Waterloo was the best for mathematics, and my experiences have proven this statement to be true!

Advice for first-year students

- Be social – it makes university much more enjoyable! 
- Constantly seek out opportunities to meet new people 
- Step out of your comfort zone and try new things as the opportunities arise 
- Apply for positions you think you are unqualified for – you may be surprised with the results! 

- If having trouble with school work, don’t hesitate to attend your professor’s and teaching assistant’s office hours and/or check out the various tutorial centers!
