Wilfrid Laurier Students ??

[weedb0y]

what a small school...this high school down the street from the big university of waterloo is known for its biz program.

but gettin more and more renowned for its biz coop program.. right now in their honours bba coop program and can't complain..small class sizes helps you get to know fellow students better And profs (come in handy in future for good references)..

great school..GREAT coop program (better than waterloo i've heard..placement is much better higher rates)..but no asian ppl..lol..

its getting better..we get the random asian flow from u of waterloo who get lost trying to find their campus and stumble onto ours..

goodtimes school.'

other notable programs: kin, music, economics

I hear thats good for BBA but other programs are more 'avg'. Specially their Math/CS ones..But its a small uni and since its a non-commute based uni, you will know almost everyone on campus and if you are a pimp DADDY!! lol you are set..

otherwise, I also know of few geeksters who didn't get one girl to say Hi to em during their 4-5 years at Laurier. lol.. most of my HS went to Laurier..I heard nuff sad stories from others.. But none the less, I hear its a great uni! I know of few ppl attending it.

Besides undergraduate programs are honestly nothing. Get a masters and that's when the REAL reputation start building. Undergrads are really overrated since they become less and less valuable since everyone is getting one now.

Just because "everyone's getting one" doesn't mean the quality of the insitution doesn't matter. I mean, almost everyone has a car. It doesn't mean that a Neon and a Porsche are now equal, and only when you can afford your own personal jet does the quality of the vehicle matter

How do you think you get into a Master's program at a good school? Having an undergrad degree from a reputable place is a big help, plus since the undergrad program is better, you'll be more successful, on average, doing your Master's because you'll be so much better prepared.

I go there. I like it so far

A LOT of hot girls there

Ratio is about 6F/4M. I would say around 75% of the woman are hot, 15% are WOW! the other 10% are average to ulgy.

ohhh and if your white your not a minority @ laurier.

B40, do u go/did u go to Laurier?

Yes, I graduated last year.

BF40: Gotta agree about the kickass time you have at keggers (and on Brick tours) in the summer. (this year and last)

I graduated Hons. Economics and Accounting this spring.

Laurier undergrad is an awesome time, great school and a great community. If you want more specific details, i posted in another thread. I will move the comments here shortly.

Re: Laurier MBA, not too great, you get the same profs you had in your undergrad (if you went to Laurier) and it does not compare to Ivey/Rotman etc.
Still costs you at least $40k, but there are better schools out there.

[Kwamz]

Yes

it is a very competitive program. I will be beginning my third year in September. If you want Coop...you better have very good interview skills

i like Laurier...the BBA program rocks!!!
I jux graduated this spring...one drawback is the name is not shiny enuf...internationally...I m gonna move back to HK and it seem likes most people there are quite familiar with names like UT, Queens, Ivey and York..but not so much of Laurier...

I must say that Laurier does have A LOT of choices when it comes to biz courses.....if you look at UT...they offer mostly Accounting and some finance...but not with Marketing, HR...and Laurier also has a very good Risk Management/Insurance Program...

However, the non-biz electives are kinda crappy...good things that we can cross-reg with UW and pick their courses~

and you reallie can't compare Laurier with UW...I think we are more complementary than competitive~~~we have the biz program (we kinda 'share' the biz program with UW...I believe they don't really have a business program there), they offer the math (I took my MA130 with a UW prof at Laurier and it was a UW credit)...we also have joint-programs together... I alway look at the two Us as sister U rather than competition~

btw, anyone need some furnitures/back-to-school items? I have a lot of stuffs~~~~PM me for detail~

i didn't like the co-op program...I was in it in second year but I dropped out...since I wasn't the brightest student with best grades...it was very difficult for me to compete with other BBA students for those great jobs....it was very hard to grant an interview (for me at least)...and I really didn't wanna settle for weird jobs...
