Wilfried Laurier University (WLU)

Its frustrating when you cannot enroll in your intended classes at the same time as local students can. Obviously at the time of arrival you are told that the course is now full and you are to go on a waiting list. This becomes problematic if you need specific courses for credit at your home institution, so have a number of different options up your sleave at all times.

Its a challenge to juggle a whole new experience, the people you are continually meeting, work, a social life and on top of it all the academic side. Time management is probably the key. Tutors in general get the picture when you tell them you are international and studies may not neccessarily be your number one priority but its always good to touch base with them and let them know where you are at / how you are coping with the work load.

Get in touch with the teacher before registering for a course. Usually he can provide you with some helpful information on what's the class all about, the prerequisites you need to fulfill, etc.

Everything was all right. Can't complain. Way to go!
