Likes
- Strong co-op program that University of Waterloo has and the level of companies that offer co-ops in this institution.
- I love the co-op program and the student resources. They are actually very very much updated and want to help the students both academically and outside of the academics. I also love the fact that the campus is very well structured and the transit system runs through the campus.
Dislikes
- I sometimes dislike that it is very fast paced and that although, there are resources available but because of so many resources available, it is very difficult to find what you want at first and on time but that can be solved if you do your own research. Another thing is that it is pretty academically heavy.
I loved my experience at Waterloo. It is an amazing facility. I would highly recommend the Velocity programs and Concept seminars. These are UW's own incubators and pre-incubators. The innovation ecosystem at Waterloo is world-class and the support available is insane. Compared to the universities, I have not seen such an ecosystem elsewhere. It is truly inspirational to be a part of UW.
