There are 8 different housing options available to students with various kinds of options such as single rooms, shared rooms, 3-room suites, 4-room suites, etc. Each comes with its own set of facilities and pros and cons. Depending on the kind of accommodation they are placed in, students may choose to opt-in or out of the meal plans if they prefer to make their own food. The cost for the above varies a lot, but the average cost of housing (including a meal plan) would be between CAD 5000-7000.

I was also accepted to the University of Toronto along with 3 other US universities that I applied to (the University of Michigan; University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign); and the University of Wisconsin), but I chose the University of Waterloo over all of them mainly because of the co-op program. UWaterloo has a renowned co-op program that offers students something more important than compensation to help pay the tuition fees: up to 2 years of work experience upon graduation. I was accepted into both Computer Science and Computer Engineering (Honors and Co-op for each) programs at UWaterloo, with scholarships, but I chose the former because I felt it would be more aligned with my career interests. Furthermore, UWaterloo has an exceptional Math/Computer Science department that offers several options to pursue different interests in the broad field of CS, such as Specializations in AI, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, etc. There is a lot of flexibility in exploring different career options with the different kinds of degree plans and options thus making it the ideal choice for me.

I have rented an apartment with my university friends and paying rent of around 800$ every month for an En-suite.

I chose Waterloo simply because of its ranking and because its location. My dream behind pursuing studies as an international student was exposure.

I haven't gone due to covid 19.

University Of Waterloo in particular is known for it's brilliant mathematics faculty and coop program. I was hesitant between UBC and Waterloo, but Waterloo's advantages were clear. Not only would I be graduating with 2 years of work experience, I would be able to pay my own finances while studying.

Hostel:

Waterloo as a city is small with fewer part time work opportunities and it's better to search through sites like kijiji for housing. Before departing for Canada, I browsed through such sites and found a pocket friendly yet fulfilling accommodation nearby campus. I pay about 450 CAD for an apartment styled setup but most areas of the apartment is shared but the bedroom is however personal. WiFi is excluded but rest services such as Hydro, laundry is part of the overall cost.

My secondary choices were business and finance programs at universities such as York, Ryerson but Waterloo's AFM outweighs all of them on the basis of practicality, reputation, reach and job opportunities. It's simply the best business related program after Toronto but it's also one of the hardest to be accepted into. Why would someone choose second tier B-programs from Ryerson when they have Waterloo offering them a spot in one of the most looked upon business programs in the country,

I live off campus because its cheaper. I found the accommodation through facebook group, which I think every University has. Its about a 10 mins walk from the University.

I got into various Universities in UK and Canada but University of Waterloo has a co-op program, which really attracted me to their program.

I lived on campus for the first year and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who’s going to a university abroad. Helps a lot with regards to easing in to the new place and building a friend circle. Plus, everything you need is provided already so it’s super convenient. Definitely more expensive than living off campus but for the first year, it’s better to just stay on campus and understand how things work at the uni. Take a year to relax, enjoy and there’s always upper years to move out

It gives me a global networking opportunity and an innovative environment to work towards my ideas

I lived off campus. This was the best for me as I was able to make friends on my own will. I also was able to cook myself which saved me a lot of money. I found a place that housed the least people as possible. So, I live with 1 other roommate.

it has an esteemed reputation in the sciences and associated disciplines. Computer science, math, engineering are all very strong and enjoy excellent reputations; for example, Waterloo graduates in computer science and engineering in California's silicon valley.The School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo is a leader in design education and research. All students gain valuable paid co-op work experience and the program has been rated the greenest architecture curriculum in Canada.
