6.3 /10

Overview

Because it had a small campus and a community feel. I enjoyed the feel of the campus when I was researching it. Additionally, this was one of the few universities in Canada where they did offer a co-op program to art students.

Scholarship

No, I have not been eligible to avail of any such scholarships so far. However this semester I am expecting to be on the honor roll and get a scholarship that is academic.

9.2 /10

Overview

It was one of the only options for me to take Kinesiology because in high school I didn't take advanced math or chemistry. I have always loved the school because my older sister studies here as well, so when I got accepted it was an easy decision.

Scholarship

I received OSAP which is through an ontario. The process includes filling out a form about where you live, what school you are going to and how much money your parents make. After that, they estimate how much money you will receive and then in the first semester of school you get half of it and the next semester you get the other half.

5.5 /10

Overview

Because I got to move away from home and experience living on my own as well as gaining the freedom of having my own place without someone always asking me questions. As well as the program here at Laurier is amazing for business.

Scholarship

Yes, I have applied for OSAP which was really simple and easy to apply for but Doug Ford is making it harder and harder to receive funding so I don't know what will happen in the future.

SB
8.0 /10

Overview

I chose Laurier because of the small campus size, program reputation, and it is close to my home town. Laurier has smaller class sizes which makes learning a more personal experience and you are able to get more attention from your professors!

Scholarship

Yes, in first year I received an entrance scholarship for my high school grades and I used OSAP. This year I used OSAP. Next year I will use OSAP and have received a Laurier financial aid bursary!

M
8.5 /10

Overview

Liked the program and small community vibes. It was important to me that the school I chose have an healthy amount of funding to my program. Other schools I visited it wasn?t obvious that some neglected certain programs. I also loved Lauriers school spirit and was impressed with how highly everyone who went there talked about it.

Scholarship

No, my parents pay for my university and therefore I have not looked into financial aid. Scholarships are automatically given if you maintain a certain average.
