The University of Waterloo is world-renowned for its co-operative education. Co-operative education is a work-integrated study, it involves working every other term. Co-op provides students, the experience required for jobs while building a great resume. Also, the University of Waterloo is one of the best universities in the world and the subject rankings are also a plus point. I chose mathematics honors as I want to pursue a career in Data Science. Waterloo was the best place for me as it provides great education along with the required experience through jobs.
