One of the best in North America for tech, a really great co-op program.

Course Curriculum

9

Pretty hectic and difficult for sure, but a great learning experience.

Exams

CV, SoP, LoRs. There's also an AIF to be submitted for UWaterloo which is more heavily focussed on the application process. I had one round of recorded video interviews and it's mostly random.

Placement

9

Really great due to co-op opportunities.

Internship

Yes, SWE roles at UWaterloo and Wayfair - average wages about 20-25CAD per hour.

Fees

About 250,000 CAD.

Scholarship

Yes, President's Scholarship of Distinction - awarded to incoming freshmen with a high school average.

Faculty

8

1 professor for a class of 120+ students but the professors are very approachable and also identify students by their face depending on how often they attend lectures.

Hostel

10

Yes, first-year, the cost is about 8000 CAD per term and it's really good for the first year but a bit expensive. Off-campus housing is a better option for later years - rent is about 800CAD per month.
