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.

This program gives you the ins and outs of what it is to produce digital media for journalism. The professors give you the tools you need in order to succeed, even though the past two years of academic study have been mostly online. Some professors are fantastic, offering their expertise whenever it fits into their lessons and lectures. This university has two campuses, one in Waterloo, Ontario and the other in Brantford, Ontario. Both have special areas for student studying and are in downtown areas full of culture and accommodations. The Digital Media and Journalism program is located in Brantford, ON, and it’s a small, close-knit group of students and faculty. It genuinely feels like a small family that works and grows together. This program is perfect for those who love writing, journalism and developing digital and social media. The career outcomes for this program are almost endlessly since it touches on countless topics. Public relations, social media management and content development, and writing news stories have been major highlights in my first two years. I still have two years left, but I’m going to take advantage of what Wilfrid Laurier University has to offer me, especially with the ability to take electives that aren’t directly related to my field of study. If you’re looking for the perfect place to expand your learning, Wilfrid Laurier University is the place for you. If you aren’t into writing as much, there are plenty of other programs that I’m sure will help you achieve your career and personal goals.
