Good student friendly environment.
Tips: Waterloo is very student friendly and happening and because of the Indian student organisation here, its made things more comfortable and easy going. The co op programme is useful for industrial and job prospects but the sponsorship here have decreased. Safety is alright other than some cases of theft and pick pocketing.

Try not to burn out here.
Tips: Waterloo is a very friendly and exciting place to study with next level academic expectations. The co op opportunities can be absolutely make or break when it comes to career growth and advancement and professors here are among some of the best in terms of expertise, knowledge and experience, so be sure to leave a positive impression. Living near campus is quite expensive but if you find a decent place, you can save up on commute expenses.

One of a kind experience.
Tips: Waterloo is a school that has truly lived up to its name. Great for business and entrepreneurship programs and if you're someone who likes to be on the field or in research. You'll meet like minded individuals and great faculty that can actually make a difference. If you manage a scholarship or part time jobs, you can get good return of investment.

Pretty nice place to study.
Tips: The university always has a lot going on and everyone is quite friendly and helpful, which really helped me through my initial days here. There is a lot to explore around, and it is ideally safe, but there are increasing incidents of pickpocketing, and it's recommended that you travel in groups if it's late. The city is well connected and there are every industry here as well, out of which a lot of companies come for placements.

Learning the ropes in Waterloo.
Tips: I have been exposed to one of the most multi cultural campuses there are, and this has helped me in building connections with people from all over the world. The networking potential is great, and if you acquaint yourself with your professors, they can be quite valuable for LORs and even referrals. There are plenty of Indians and Indian food options as well, and Canada has a welcoming culture, which is seen in the university.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There were better chances of getting work here a few years ago, but now Canada has increased its restrictions on immigration and jobs for international students. Given a chance, I would certainly like to work here, and there are chances, but you will really need to stand out for companies to take a chance on you.
