Bachelor of Business Administration / Bachelor of Computer Science - Batch of 2026

3.9

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.

It's a good university but keep expectations in order

Tips: Be ready for studying hard and having no social life. The faculty is good but the workload is high. Work hard and it shouldn't be a problem. Internships are fine but competition is tough so be ready to apply externally. The fees are on the higher end for international students.

The wonderful opportunities resulting from the grind at UWaterloo (CS/Math + Engineering Only)

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 is what truly makes you happy. Note - Living in a different country is a painful process, just be mentally prepared for the cultural shift, for me, no matter what, I will always return to India and I miss home a lot, I just have to deal with it.

Likes (Internships): This is the main reason to come to UWaterloo - The co-op (internship) opportunities. By the time you graduate, you will have completed 4-6 internships which sets you up to work in big teach if you wish. The top programs at the University include - Computer Science (1 in Canada, the biggest feeder to Silicon Valley as students have 2 years of work ex by the time they graduate), Engineering (Any Engineering), Math (Any faculty of math programs), AFM (Accounting and Financial Management).

Dislikes (Safety): There are reports of stabbings every now and then, especially recently when there was an attempted stabbing on campus. Usually a very safe city but it doesn't mean that you should not be cautious. Rated 2 simply because of recent incidents, but nothing bad has happened in the last 4 months.

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.

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.
