The best way to start feeling at home at the university of Waterloo is to get involved! There are great ways to get to know your fellow classmates, faculty members and graduate students.
Get to know your community - each department in Science has a club, as well as the Science Society. The Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA, formerly FEDS) sponsors over 250 clubs! Whatever your interest, there's a club out there waiting for you.
