UW CS + WLU BBA DD (Laurier side)
Hello, i just got into the waterloo cs + laurier bba double degree program (laurier side) and ive seen that the main difference between laurier side and waterloo side is the coop, so i have a few questions about it:
How much better is waterloo works really compared to laurier navigator? I hear that many apply for coops externally in upper years so the coop platform doesnt matter. What about first year/second year? I want to eventually work/find a coop in the tech industry in sf.
Are both sides guaranteed coop? I know its required, but is it guaranteed? This is a concern as I know laurier coops are quite competitive. If its not guaranteed, what do you suggest I do to have a good chance at getting one. (grades, clubs, ecs, etc.)
Courseload, is it manageable on top of looking for coops, clubs and social life?
Which residence is better? I enjoy socializing but I also enjoy sleep.
I know its a lot but i really appreciate the guidance as im still on the edge of accepting due to it being laurier side. Thank you!
