Why Waterloo?
I chose Waterloo because of its renowned Computer Science and Co-op programs! I liked how University of Waterloo recognizes Math as its own faculty, and how the School of Computer Science also has its own identity within the Math faculty. I loved being able to alternate between co-op and study terms so I can apply my skills learned in the classroom. Also, I was attracted to living in a college residence in my first year. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly; such a great University atmosphere!
Advice for first-year students
First
Year
University
comes
with
waves
of
different
emotions.
Given
my
experiences,
my
best
pieces
of
advice
would
be:
-
Get
Involved!
Join
clubs,
participate
in
intramurals
and
sign
up
for
other extracurriculars.
It
can
be
an
awesome
experience
and
you
meet
great
people
-
If
you
feel
behind
in
work,
get
help.
Whether
it be from
professors, peers
or
teaching
assistants.
-
Even
though
you're
here
to
study,
set
time
aside
to
relax,
unwind
and
refresh
