While Wilfrid Laurier University has been ranked various times as Canada’s happiest school, how true is it really? Having been the first uni class fully affected by the pandemic, I believe we were in a harder place than most; having classes online, no orientation or events, made it difficult to succeed both socially and academically. As a Laurier student, I can say with utmost certainty, the professors and advisors that surround you, truly care. All that is required from you is to be transparent with these individuals, as they will help you not only succeed, but excel.
