Why I love my program
I love my program because I get to learn niche things about our environment along with various hands-on opportunities, and it gives me the chance to pause every two seconds during a walk to observe plants, or to stop and stare at squirrels :)
Why University of Waterloo?
From touring the UWaterloo campus during my grade 12 year, I immediately fell in love with the natural environment on campus, such as the Peter Russell Rock Garden and the live plant wall in the Environment building, amongst other things! I also admire the fact that Waterloo has a plethora of clubs to join and offers many unique courses (ie. SCI 211 - Traditional Medicines Land-Based Field Course).
