I feel it's great. It exposes you to lots of new ideas, opportunities and networks. However, it can get overwhelming and lonely, so strong social skills are definitely helpful. At the end of the day, your degree is what you make of it.

There's a lot to do on campus. There are countless clubs and many ways to get involved in recreation and sports. However, the City of Waterloo in of itself can be depressing sometimes and coursework can feel overwhelming.
