University of Waterloo

I’m a Nanotechnology Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I really like this school.

Pros:

• Fantastic engineering education
• Co-op provides great experience
• Lots of opportunities to be the dumbest person in the room (surrounding yourself with high-achievers motivates you to become one)
• Campus enclosed in a ring road (feels like a little town of just students, great for the first year on-campus-living vibes)
• Attractive location (nature and green space around)
• Great public transit

Cons:

• Less party life (not necessarily a con, but party schools are nearby anyways)
• Some parts of campus aren’t very attractive
• Engineering is hard

The University of Waterloo has underground service tunnels inaccessible to students that connect every building. Once I graduate, I’ll put the map I made here.
