Tips: I am satisfied with the university and course. There are 2 co-op chances for bioinformatics and Biotechnology students, the 2nd being mandatory for graduation. But be prepared to dedicate the majority of your time job hunting and on assignments. A major cultural shift would be the food habit. As students juggling multiple on-campus jobs and studies, most of us do not find the time to cook a healthy meal and fall into a bad eating habit by eating too much frozen and processed foods.

Tips: Not everyone gets a Co-op, it takes a lot of hard work, skill and also luck to secure one. It was an easy transition for me since everyone is mostly Indian in the graduate cohort. The university should be stricter with the admission policies as without it there is a major influx of students and a shortage of on-campus jobs.
