Wilfrid Laurier University Survival Guide Part Two
I created the Wilfrid Laurier University survival guide to compile the best resources from Laurier. After graduating from the University of Waterloo, my only regret is not getting involved with the community earlier. There are great services available and it was only after I graduated that I understand their true purpose.
It is now my goal to create a centralized database of the best university tips and services available to Canadian students.
