  The city I studied in was Brantford, which brought peace to my studies. However, the transportation and living facilities are relatively not particularly complete.

  Waterloo is an amazing city. The campus is located right next to anything you need. gas stations, food shops, convenience stores, the Conestoga mall, banks, and bus stops that bring you to major hubs like Toronto. It is about an hour drive from Toronto airport so the commute is very easy.

  Tell us about Waterloo

  The city of Waterloo has 2 universities and 1 college located close to each other. Because of this, it is known as a student city. Since the majority of the population here are students, there are so many opportunities and facilities for us. There are so many restaurants, clubs, shopping malls, and franchises to go to around the area. I love visiting all the South Asian restaurants and grocery shops to eat yummy food and buy spices for cooking. The city is very diverse and I felt very welcome from day one.Transport in GRT busses is covered by the Laurier tuition so we can travel unlimited times/distances from our student card within the Waterloo region. We also have a new light rail system which is kind of like a city train. There are lots of grocery stores around Laurier such as Walmart and Zehrs which is very convenient for students who cook for themselves. In terms of safety, I have personally never gone through a safety concern in Waterloo. The region of Waterloo police officers and the university special constables are patrolling around the area and therefore emergencies are being responded to speedily. We also have emergency poles around campus that students can strike if they have an emergency. However, these poles at Laurier have never been used except for testing!
