It's an amazing university. You can literally watch yourself getting smarter while you study here. The faculty is really good and there are immense opportunities on campus with respect to innovation. It's a tough university and you must study extremely hard to stay here. All in all I'd say it's one of the best universities in the world.

The University of Waterloo is a great school for graduate research and entrepreneurial spirit. It also provides students with a competitive edge in the job market through its world-class co-op program. However, the undergraduate student experience at Waterloo is severely lacking due to a campus culture of obsession over academic reputation and political correctness.

Lowest communication level and unprofessionalism I ever experienced in all universities I applied to in Canada and internationally especially from Julie Pocock and Andrew Tolmie in admission. Disgusting ! From not acknowledging receiving of documents to sending us wrong deadlines, ignoring phone calls and emails and very rude over the phone!!
Lowest level of professionalism I ever experienced from a university !

Everyone in Financial services department is not helping with anything, they are there not for students. sometimes the way they do business is just unreasonable and the employees’ mindset is not mature enough.
