Wilfrid Laurier University (reviews)

I liked that my classes were not very large so they felt much more engaging. I did not like the campus it was too small and not much to do on campus I chose to commute instead of staying by the university due to the lack of things to do, I had great professors who all seemed to be enthusiastic about what they are teaching, the classes were also diverse and had all types of people in then which was nice because it didn’t make me feel out of place. Overall Laurier is a great university and so far I’ve enjoyed my years here I just hope they can make the campus a little more lively and nice to stay around

My program is fairly small which means that the professors have the ability to interact with the students one on one. One of the reasons why I chose Laurier is because of the small community and the opportunities to really engage with other students and professors. Student life is a perfect combination of the ability to be social while also adequately maintaining academics. I feel confident in my future and further education because of my decision to attend Laurier.

I liked the first year classes, ps101 and ps102, my professors were quite nice but some of them were quite monotone and I felt like the lectures were useless and it was better to just read the textbook. The school vibes are very community based, feels like a big high-school and it was easy for me to make friends.

BBA is overall an okay program. There are a lot of flaws in the program. Many things assigned are pointless and cause students more stress then academic gain. I think there are a lot of kinks in the program but overall it is okay.

The things that I love about Laurie would be; the atmosphere as everyone is so welcoming and no one ever lets people feel excluded. The classes are well taught, even though there are sometimes when profs go to quickly. The school’s location is very nice, away from home but not too far, so that is definitely a plus. As well there are a lot of opportunities, for students to thrive and better themselves and that is why I believe Laurier is a great school to go to.

Laurier has a great business program which could open various doors in the business industry. It not only teaches you theoretical content but also focuses on practical experience by conducting various case competitions. This enhances the critical thinking of all the business students. Moreover, if offers Canada’s biggest co-op program. Though its quite competitive, but it definitely gives you an upper edge in the industry. The professors are really helpful and are always ready to help you academically.

Studying sociology was a very eye-opening experience for the many vulnerable groups within society. Instead of being overwhelmed with the many social injustices happening all around the world and within our own community, it provides root causes and how to dismantle systems of oppression. It also helped me better understand how intersectionality can shape life experiences. I especially liked that many of our professors took the time to include indigenous history and how we can be better allies.

I had an amazingly positive experience at Laurier. From the professors who were so positive and supportive of me to the friendships and relationships I made along the way, to all of the performance experiences and personal growth, Laurier helped shape me into the person I am today

Game Design and Development at Wilfrid Laurier University is better than I could ever imagine. While some of the courses were not the strongest outside of Game Design, Game Design and its professors are some of the most supportive and informed professors in the field they inhabit. It’s one of the most amazing educational experiences out there.

As a communications studies major, I really enjoyed the variety of different classes the program offered. The program really is what you make it. I switched out from Economics because I wasn’t feeling too sure about what career I wanted to pursue in the future. Studying communications allowed for me to leave multiple paths open for myself and curate my degree to my liking. There are only 4 required communications courses you must take and the rest are up to you and which path you want to follow (sports media, cultural, media and history, digital media, visual communication, etc.)
The student life at Laurier is fantastic. Everyone is super friendly. There aren’t any major “cliques” that run the campus. Each club is very humble and all the students are very easy-going and nice. It’s a fairly small campus which makes it easy to run into people, but with that, it’s nice to always run into familiar faces! The small campus also makes it easy for getting to your back-to-back class on time since everything is a short walking distance!
