• The University was covered within 1000 acres of land. There were separate departments; my building name was E7, which means engineering 7. There are two major libraries and PAC , which is our sports facility. There are other activities available in the Student life centre.
• The major campus festival is St Patrick's Day. You can participate in different activities happening but it depends upon your department. we were allowed to participate mostly in pitch competitions or sports-related activities.

• I found my accommodation on Facebook Marketplace. Normally everyone there uses FB marketplace for finding listings. Rent ranges from CAD 800 to 900 for a private room, which includes utilities. Sometimes they are separate, like hydro, water, etc. laundry services you have to pay for depending upon the building. My accommodation was on Lester St; it was a 7-minute walk from my class.

• 2 Campuses, one the major one in Waterloo and the second one in Kitchener (pharmacy).
• 2 sports complexes, 1 baseball field, 1 American football field, 1 soccer field, and 1 olympic swimming pool. 2 big library buildings, 1 hospital.
• Engineering Day usually happens on the day when the university was established. Indian clubs also organise Diwali and Ganesh festivals on the university campus.
• There are over 50 student clubs; some target academics and some focus on extracurricular activities like running, trekking, badminton, basketball, etc. there are also some religious and cultural societies like Hindu Society of UW, English club, etc.

• When I was a student, i used to live near the university, not in campus housing, as it was tough to get into. I and a friend rented an apartment for the first 8 months, and then for the next year, 4 friends rented a whole house with 2 bedrooms, 1 hall, and 1 kitchen. We found both the accommodation through facebook marketplace.
• First apartment rent was 600 CAD per month; second house per head rent was 550 CAD per month excluding the utilities. After including the utilities, it can be 700-750 CAD for both the accommodations
• Winter was the major challenge in finding the apartment, Canada's winter being harsh and we had to visit before confirming the rental place; it was tough to travel in such harsh winter.
• Try your luck in campus housing; if not, stay near the university for the university vibe, though rent would be higher but would be helpful in winters.
• Both the accommodations were a 10-min bus ride to the university or a 20-min walk to the university. Most Indian students stay near the university.

• My University has only one campus.
• All kinds of facilities are available on campus: Libraries, Sports, Gym, Medical Services, Clubs, Food Places and many more.
• Major clubs at my campus for academics are Data Science club and the UW Reality Labs, for dance are UW Hip Hop and UW Dhamaka, for sports there's a club for every sport.
• Major festival that Waterloo celebrates the best (so much that everyone from other universities nearby come here for it) is St Patty's / St Patrick's Day. There's also a carnival held every Fall which everyone looks forward to.

• First year was On-Campus, then Off-campus. To find places off-campus there are several stuff you can do, Facebook Marketplace and some other Canadian housing boards.
• My monthly rent was 800 per month but it doesn't remain constant since your mostly moving houses your entire university life because of your co-op program you really dont stay constant at one house.
• The challenges I experiences were mostly price related, most of the houses are pretty costly. 
• I would say, a recommendation I would give is to definitely thoroughly checkout the place before you move forward with a house since I have faced some issues in the past when I did it once.

• We have one big campus in the city. Multiple buildings around the city.
• We also have a ring road which encloses almost all the buildings. University housing is also close by, but mostly reserved for undergrad and phd students.
• We have a building called SLC (student life centre) where we can get into lots of clubs, sport teams other cultural activities. If we have any question, we can just go to SLC and find them. Lots of options to buy food around the campus too.

• I found accommodation via a friend of mine. There are so many agencies in the city that help with finding accommodation, but usually expensive.
• My rent was $450 on sharing basis when i came in, but changed to $720 when i switched to a different place. Lots of facebook and whatsapp groups. Be cautious when using portals like kijiji or giving out money to some agency,

The university tries to get students involved in campus life and events, which is pretty nice. There are also over 100 clubs.

There are many different residences on campus, for first years and upper years. They are about the same cost as renting a decent-quality one-bedroom apartment off-campus.

There are a bunch of extracurricular activities. The university has almost every sport, 2 vast gyms, and a pool. You can get into various clubs including Data Science Clubs, Language clubs, International clubs, and Dance and Music clubs.

Rents are crazy in Canada. You are lucky if you get university housing. There are plenty of student housing out there. I paid around 800 Canadian dollars a month for a private room.

There are plenty of clubs to choose from (specifically for Indian students - Bollywood dance club, Bollywood music club, Bhangra club) Extracurriculars are not that great, but for leisure, they are good.

Rental is usually in the range of 800-1500 CAD PER MONTH for individuals. Sharing would be about 500.

Campus life is good, we have limited resources for the library, WIFI is there, Sports facilities are also there, and yes the research facility is good. Overall everything was good.

Accomodation is incredible but we masters student, all of us have taken apartments near by campus, which are the best.We are 3 friends live together, each having one room and private washroom inside room, our rent per month is 600$ including wifi, utilities and everything.

University of Waterloo also has many extracurricular activities spanning sports, dance, music and recreational activities, so I recall from my time at UW, I have attended sporting events, salsa-bachata, bhangra, Kpop dance sessions, in addition to doing stress busting activities like pot painting and Christmas card making. So, it's not just all study but UW community gives you a platform for going beyond books as well.

I live in campus housing which is recommended as a graduate student, do look out for CLV accommodation, it is by far the best!

Very vibrant no second thoughts here. There will be no complaints in terms of how dynamic the life is here even apart from the academics.

700 cad per month.
