What Students Say?
Likes
- A lot of extra resources for students to excel (to search for co-op internships etc.)
- Flexibility in terms of choosing subjects
Dislikes
- The Arts segment is not as focused on as CS/engineering
- Infrastructure of the university could be better.
I chose this university because of one of the main factor which is their coop program (one term study, next term internship, and so on). This gives me a lot of practical work experience. My overall experience at the University of Waterloo has been great. The students are mostly smart and helpful and make for good study partners. There is a lot of help available for those who require it, and the campus culture is good.
Course Curriculum
Yes it is very relevant to the real world. Our co-op program provides us industry exposure.
Exams
- My score for IELTS (International English Language Testing System) was 8. I did not need to submit any additional tests. - I am currently in the University of Waterloo with a 3.2 GPA - CBSE (10th) - 92% and IB (12th) - 34/45 - Requirements: I did not need LoR and SoP was included in the questions they asked during application stage.
