How I get involved: Over the past few years, I've made an effort to get involved at the University of Waterloo by exploring a variety of opportunities. I was a member of SciSoc, I was also VP Social and later President of BUGS, was part of the Marketing team for the Cancer Foundation, and worked as a Science Orientation Leader.
Why I love my program
I love my program because of the flexibility it offers. It gave me the opportunity to explore different minors, complete prerequisites for a wide range of career paths, and tailor my degree to my interests. After second year, there are very few mandatory courses, which means I was able to choose classes based on what I genuinely enjoyed learning. The versatility of the program also makes it easy to complete prerequisites for various professional schools or careers, while the required courses in first and second year already cover a large portion of those requirements.
Why University of Waterloo?
The co-op program was definitely one of the biggest factors that drew me to Waterloo. Before coming here, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue in the future. Through the co-op program and the opportunities it has provided, I've been able to explore different career paths, narrow down my interests, and build valuable professional connections that I know will benefit me in the future.
