My journey at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Placement:

Not aware of this. However, big companies sponsor competitions in our university, and there are connections through them.

Lower tuition costs, a good business program, the chance of co-op.

My experience as an international student

Placement:

The placements vary depending on the program. It is very hard to find a good job in the arts program mostly because the university does not have a vested interest in promoting the arts program.on the other hand, BBA has great opportunities.

Internship:

Yes, I am in the co-op program at my university. Last summer was the first time I did a coop term or a summer internship. Here I was paid Cad 16 per hour which is a lot over minimum wage. I also enjoyed my role a lot.

Wifrid Laurier University Review

It had the program I wanted and has a really good community. The campus is nice and small so it is easy to get to know everyone. The professors are nice and helpful. The university staff help make the school feel welcoming so I went.

Review of Polsci student at WLU

I opted for this university because of the unique program that it provided. Political science BA with an LLB Law degree in England. It also had a small campus which made it more personalized. It is number 1 in student satisfaction.

Laurier University

Placement:

You look for them yourself so it's up to you to find a good opportunity. I'm sure there are many opportunities out there but it comes down to how hard you want to try and look for them, contact the managers and how your interview will go.

Internship:

My program offers co-op, which is something you can do for half a semester and earn credits for it but it is not paid. I haven't applied for it because the application process takes a very long time and involves a lot of training. I have also heard finding a placement yourself can be really challenging.

First Year experience at Wilfrid

Internship:

It does but you have to have a crazy high average for it which isn't really fair to maintain such a high average but different programs don't need to have such a high average as business kids need to have.

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.

Wilfrid Laurier University 2nd Year Student

Internship:

Yes, there are co-op options for many of the different programs at Laurier. I personally did not do co-op but have heard great things about the program and pay rates. Co-op is an option but is not mandatory for my program.

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!

The golden hawk experience

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.
