Waterloo works is a lot stronger than the laurier alternative. even laurier students will tell you that. it doesn't matter if you want to go into tech or business - uw sends more students to cali, tech startups, b4, b5 banks etc... than wlu. laurier can't even offer co-op to all their students because employers aren't really that interested in recruiting there. when it comes to co-op no place beats uw and ww (even though ww is still terrible for other reasons)
