The plaza close to University of Waterloo has a diverse set of restaurants , comvinient stores and even clinics. And for folks who want halal food there's a lot here
Best University ever I can not wait until I start taking classes in person.
I have been in University of Waterloo for their hackathons. Beautiful campus and nice people 👍.
Tough and competitive to get into. When I took ESQ and went for an interview, the place is very nice. The staff are kind and I met some helpful students along the way. The buildings are nice.
The campus is so beautiful! It was my first visit after my son made it, that made it doubly nice. I love the atmosphere. Intense and chilled. Many great food places. I will coming here every week, for the next little while. Hard to picture that.
UW is a highly innovative school with a can-do attitude. They have a great co-op program that really helps improve your employment opportunities upon graduation. Also, I have always been impressed with their student services.
Honestly did not like it. I am an undergraduate in Engineering. Trust me in this school if you don't do coding it's a waste of time. Everybody judges each other by how much they make in their coop, if you are not in a coding job, the best you can get is in the mid of 20 dollars per hour. Then you are pitied by people who work in Cali. I have to say most of my fellow classmates are really cocky but I understand they are smart enough to do it. Doing coop is a constant struggle, four month work then four month school, I move around up to ten times in four years and I can say I am really tired of it. Anyway hopefully I can get a job after graduation in this economy and be able to afford renting a place with my own washroom, otherwise I have no idea why I attend this university. Had no life in these five years, which should be the best part of my whole life. So if I get a time machine to go back to the past, no I am not choosing it again.
Great university but the environment is dangerous. I felt safer in the streets of Detroit than walking through the geese infested campus. I was once brutally attacked by an entire gang of geese who took my belongings and my dignity. Overall, I had a blast here for the tour but they waitlisted me and I didn't end up coming to this university.
I was first a student and now a staff, but I have always enjoyed my time at UW. This institution is world renowned for it's beautiful campus (aggressive geese aside), it's updated and modern facilities, fantastic faculty, and all around pleasant student population. Boasting as a STEM school, UW has a multitude of quality programs available from engineering, mathematics, science, environment, and the arts - all of which are top notch. I'm not just saying this because they pay my rent, the University of Waterloo is a first class post secondary institution. Now where's my bonus? ;)
Excellent faculty, diverse courses, world class degrees and a beautiful campus. Completed two degrees here. Loved it. Highly recommend. Very selective admissions, but this results in prestigious degrees. Five star institution.
Best University.. my sister stufy. I am not but wish they guve me scholarship.. and then i study here
I have my fair share of complaints about this school, okay mostly about professors who can't teach. But despite all failings, the engineering co-op program makes an education here more than worth it. It is one of the best things that has happened to me. I'm only halfway through my program but I'm starting to feel less and less like a "student", and more like a professional that happens to also be in school. It's a great atmosphere, and in a city bursting with tech opportunities. Thank you UW.
Willing to say that most of the 1 star reviews are people who
A) Got their application rejected.
B) Didn't apply, so they went to Laurier (Also a great school), but for some reason are bitter.
C) Don't like the city of Waterloo at all.
This university offers state of the art facilities in certain faculties, a great science program, a top engineering program, and a fantastic Co-Op program.
They provide excellent tours. The buildings are very modern and they are truly innovative. The campus is easy to reach, despite far from Toronto. Their system of WATcard is very cool.
If you're looking for community and school spirit, this place probably isn't for you. If you're looking for academic excellence and state-of-the-art research (unless you're in a few specific STEM fields), this place isn't really for you. If you're looking for a place to complete your degree so you can get a job and you don't care about academia, this place is what you want.
