Wilfrid Laurier University
speciality: Economics

Wilfrid Laurier University is a good university with support systems all around. It is easy to excel in this program when the effort is put in and struggles are met. A piece of feedback I would give would be for the professors to have a greater understanding of some of their students background.

WLU was a great university for my degree cause of its COOP advantage ( even though it’s a little competitive to get in). I studied economics and finance, on average the workload is a bit tedious but if you put in the work and plan yourself properly it’ll go better than you expect. It’s very math intensive so make sure you have a good idea of calculus if you want to apply for this job. The only reason for giving the school only 4 stars is just because there is some preference towards the business program which can be a little annoying when our program is more intensive compared to theirs. Overall not a bad study experience you’d meet good people, the campus life is pretty involving and the location makes it easier to find different things around to do. Obviously, some times are difficult but that’s just university so if you put your head down and learn some serious amount of time management and planning you’d get around pretty well.

I personally love Laurier. Everyone is so kind, and your peers are all so helpful. Even though the campus is small, that is the best part! Everyone is like a close-knit family! One thing I would like to change is the food court hours. It would be nice if they were open longer.
