University of Waterloo Reviews & Ratings ,,Canada

Tips: University of Waterloo with its coop programme is a very STEM and industry-oriented university. Many students through their coops will get work experience and skills that they then use to get full-time jobs and a lot do internships also offer students full-time offers if they do well. Overall the courses offered are useful and helpful, but the best part about the university is the coop programme.

Tips: The University of Waterloo has got to be one of the best experiences I've had so far. You are certain to find people you gel with but it is important to remember that academically, courses are quite hard to keep up with. Also before you commit, you must remember that Canada has become very firm with immigration. The public transportation is flexible and affordable so you can explore the city. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.

Tips: Students should know that the people are polite and welcoming so you don't need to worry about feeling too out of place. You will be expected to prepare well for your classes to keep up with your coursework. Finding jobs is a big challenge and I feel it has become extremely expensive to survive here so if you can avoid Canada then you should consider that option.

Tips: It is a warm and welcoming campus at least in my case. I chose this university because of its reputation but now I feel that it is a better idea to study outside Canada itself. Quality of learning is great and you will be expected to work very hard from the first week itself. The faculty will help you in every step towards your journey.

Tips: If you are creative and keen on embarking on research, this is a good place to consider. I do feel that it is extremely expensive and although placements were usually pretty good, it's no longer the same because of how strict the policies have become and how difficult it is to immigrate anywhere.

Tips: University of Waterloo is known for its research and famous alumni which is a plus point if you are interested in academia.

Tips: The University of Waterloo is indeed a great place to study for someone passionate about expanding their knowledge as well as network. Based on my experience and things I heard, there are trends to zero chances of getting a scholarship for the MEng ECE programme. The programme is a little bit expensive but if you are privileged enough to spend that much without having financial pressure then it is worth it. If you are enthusiastic about the field you are pursuing and love learning new things, th...

Tips: Scholarships are rare to come by, even if you get a scholarship, it is unlikely to cover much of the overall expenses. You might get consumed by the competitive environment and therefore inevitably become part of a rat race. Don't do that, you need to know what you care about and focus on those objectives and fulfil your own goals. UWaterloo is a grind, but it is worth it, and the main thing is you feel good about yourself at the end of the day, and finding that fulfilment from within yourself i...
