Wilfrid Laurier University Student Guide Part One
I created the Wilfrid Laurier University student guide to compile the top resources for students. I graduated from university and looking back at my experience, there are many resources that I wished I knew about.
My main goal is to create valuable content and I hope you will refer to this guide throughout your undergraduate years.
I will be creating a part two for this guide to include information on things to do in Waterloo, career resources, health, wellness, housing information and more. Stay tuned!
