University of Waterloo review by Denielle
Review by Denielle, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia
Environmental Studies, University Agreement ![]()
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would choose differently, as then I would gain a new experience. The first place I stayed at was great, but if I stayed there again it would not be the same. Staying at a new place would be a new experience.
Personal comments:
The accomodation at the University was excellent, where I stayed they made the stay enjoyable and had many activities, also there is a great range of accomodation. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The Bomber, the on-campus pub was the best place to be, exspecially to socialise! There was also a on-campus nightclub called Fed Hall, which could be quite good! There was also many keg parties, that should not be missed! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
The language was the same, therefore there was no problem in communicating. Although the language was the same, it was amasing how other words are used for the same meaning. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I spent more, as I was living away from home, therefore there are more expenses. Also I thought that I was only going to be there for a short period, therefore I wanted to experience as much as possible. Food, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Travel, Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Maybe open up an account at the University, therefore it ssaves you in withdrawing fees. (Believe me they add up!) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
