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.

Accepting and culturally rich place.

Tips: One of the best things about studying at Waterloo is the diversity in courses and people. Not many places offer the same level of education, but it's very important to show initiative and participate in classes. The environment is free and accepting, and students are expected to have a similar mindset. My professors helped me publish a couple of my papers, and I've been part of the debate society.

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.

Vibrant campus and highly knowledgeable faculty.

Tips: I have made some great memories here and met some really good people as well. The weather is a little too cold for me to handle, and attendance and deadlines are taken seriously. There are lots of Indians here, and the university has a lot of helpful industry connections.
