Good so far

I chose this college because of the prestige and co-op opportunities. Co-op is a big factor because it allows for you to gain practical work experience and money to pay off student loans. Many Waterloo graduates land a job quickly after graduation....Read More

I was also accepted to the University of Toronto along with 3 other US universities that I applied to (the University of Michigan; University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign); and the University of Wisconsin), but I chose the University of Waterloo over all of them mainly because of the co-op program. UWaterloo has a renowned co-op program that offers students something more important than compensation to help pay the tuition fees: up to 2 years of work experience upon graduation. I was accepted into both Computer Science and Computer Engineering (Honors and Co-op for each) programs at UWaterloo, with scholarships, but I chose the former because I felt it would be more aligned with my career interests. Furthermore, UWaterloo has an exceptional Math/Computer Science department that offers several options to pursue different interests in the broad field of CS, such as Specializations in AI, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, etc. There is a lot of flexibility in exploring different career options with the different kinds of degree plans and options thus making it the ideal choice for me....Read More

My secondary choices were business and finance programs at universities such as York, Ryerson but Waterloo's AFM outweighs all of them on the basis of practicality, reputation, reach and job opportunities. It's simply the best business related program after Toronto but it's also one of the hardest to be accepted into. Why would someone choose second tier B-programs from Ryerson when they have Waterloo offering them a spot in one of the most looked upon business programs in the country,...Read More

Great math education and coop! Waterloo is known for these 2 things and that's what drove me here. I want to be a math teacher and to me, having a very strong math background was important so that I can truly help students thrive in the subject....Read More

University Of Waterloo in particular is known for it's brilliant mathematics faculty and coop program. I was hesitant between UBC and Waterloo, but Waterloo's advantages were clear.
