Why I Chose Waterloo 9:38
When I was a high school student I always wished I knew someone that went to Waterloo who could give me an inside scope of what it really felt like to be a student there - which is why I created this video.
Here I answer questions such as:
👉 Does Waterloo set you up for failure?
👉 Is UW really as boring as people say it is?
👉 Does companies such as Facebook, Google know what kind of school UWaterloo is?
Hope this was helpful, and let me know if you have any questions in the comments section. I'll try my best to answer all of them :)

Studying Business & Computer Science at UBC. I considered the double degree program but the /5 year/ degree length was ultimately what put me off personally (can't afford it. i can't do that to my parents. I'd feel so guilty. Especially bc international student fees are so crazy expensive already). UBC's combined major program was ultimately the best choice for me & my situation. Its cool to see other people in a similar business-tech combo as me!

블로그 이웃하여 잘 보고 있었습니다. 올려주시는 글들이 생생하고 재미있습니다. (물론, 고생 많으십니다) 특히 워터루 대학 이야기가 도움이 많이 되었습니다. 진솔한 직장인 에피소도도 좋고요..... 어느 날 블로그 보니 유튜브 주소가 있어서 구독하게 되었습니다. 시간 나는 대로 쭉 보려고 합니다. 미국 직장 생활 응원합니다. 홧팅!

I'm surprised how good of a rep Waterloo has in tech. I see a lot of students getting great internships and jobs. Yet, its ranked 9 in best schools in Canada. How is that? Utoronto UBC, McGill are all ranked much higher.

[@Annie-ro5od]

It’s because the UWaterloo is focused on learning practical stuff(related to jobs) where other schools are focused on academics, labs, and paper works. UWaterloo doesn’t put much work on doing that and instead, they work on helping students learn practical affairs and get jobs through it. Also, UWaterloo is extremely focused on STEM field and doesn’t have college of medicine, unlike other well known universities, which has a huge affect when ranking schools.

[@ZenityStudios]

@@Annie-ro5od Ah that makes much sense. Waterloo definitely does have a great rep in the tech industry.

[@headtapper5587]

It’s mostly because Waterloo is way more focused on Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering. They are ranked #1 and #2 in Canada for STEM. The main reason they are ranked low overall is the fact that they don’t currently have a med school which can drastically lower a rating of a school. But for STEM it’s definitely the best school in the country.
