The Student Life Office plans and promotes events, programs, and resources to help all students in their transitions from high school to university and beyond. We work closely with all other services and departments on campus, and we will point you in the right direction when you need help. For example, they operate an event for new students that they can experience 2 days in University of Waterloo this summer about what your life is going to be like as a first-year student. These students will have opportunities to stay over in a residence community with other first-year students, learn your way around campus, become familiar with your specific faculty buildings, attend a lecture and tutorial, write the English Language Proficiency Exam (ELPE), meet faculty, staff and upper year students in your faculty and build friendships with other first-year students.
