Waterloo is a solid university with great professors and informative classes. It’s location in Waterloo also offers students access to a nice city full of young people also attending UW, or the surrounding schools.

The GBDA program also offered a wide variety of classes to teach everything from international business and project management, to digital media capture and user centric design. There are countless careers that can use GBDA as a starting point, which is a real advantage.

As a proud member of the Global Business and Digital Arts graduating class of 2023, I must admit that the program felt somewhat general in nature, and without the benefit of integrated co-op experiences, we were left with limited opportunities to apply our learnings in a practical setting. However, I am pleased to report that the new GBDA streams now include co-op, and I have every confidence that this addition will vastly enhance the program’s overall value and prepare future students for the demands of the industry.

University of Waterloo is a very nice and quiet place to study. There are a lot of resources to help students, especially international students, to feel welcomed and settle down. What I disliked about the university is that there is no way to travel to campuses after 1st year. Since I’m in the Stratford campus it’s a struggle to commute there. So I would recommend providing travel facilities.
