Attending Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) over the course of four years for its well-known Communication Studies program was pivotal for me. In regards to academics, the courses offered for communication students vary, allowing students to create a program that is best suited for their interests and desires post-graduation. I was able to cater my studies towards global communication and PR, while peers of mine focused more on digital media and marketing. The professors are very supportive and dedicated to seeing their students succeed, available for office hours or over email regularly. Finally, the campus culture is very enjoyable and welcoming, allowing students to feel excited to be a #goldenhawk.

Very broad and repetitive however due to its broadness there is so much to learn in so many facets such as economics, media, politics, and more. In terms of the repetitiveness, it makes taking tests and writing essays easier as you can recall information quickly and build upon past knowledge.

In my opinion, Laurier is a very fun and actively engaged university that enhances the university experience for many students. I love the friendly atmosphere of people which allows me to be more sociable and meet new people and participate in new experiences. In classes, it can be easy to create relationships with peers which allows students to work towards common goals together. I would highly recommend this university to other students as it can provide them with endless unforgettable opportunities and enhance your degree choice.
