🎓 Uni life at Wilfrid University
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I highly recommend strategic management classes the other classes are quite like in your home business school.
Do you have some tips?
Campus was Nice with cool facilities especially if you are into sports. Registration process was super easy with a cool welcome event. Note that you are quite far from Toronto with the public transports and Waterloo is pretty dead outside uni and it’s super cold in winter so activities are limited. I’m not sure i would choose the same uni but I definitely not regret my choice of WLU for what i’ve been able to do ( meeting cool people and travelling across america)
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
The international airport is 1h30 from Waterloo. With my friend Tomaso we were drinking beer during a snow storm and we booked the day for the day after a trip to Guadalajara Mexico for less than 200€ to visit and party there was super fun. Chicago isn’t that far by car, you can go to Montréal also
