Why I love my program
Academically, I love how my program allows me to explore the intersectionality of two different disciplines. With any scientific innovation or discovery, we need people who can bridge the gap and translate these advancements into concepts that everyone can understand and apply in their daily lives - and SCBUS does just that! The strong sense of community in SCBUS is also amazing! Professors, Program Managers, and my other scibesties, really help make my university experience a lot of fun!
Why University of Waterloo?
Co-op!! I know you've probably heard this answer so many times, but co-op really was the biggest thing that pulled me to Waterloo. Not only do I get a chance to apply the knowledge I've learnt in class, but I also get a chance to develop my soft skills and learn from so many amazing industry professionals.
