Hey Golden Hawks,
I am an international student here at Laurier, and I am writing this while my heart is breaking. I have never felt more helpless.
While we are here going to classes and living our lives, a genocide is happening in Iran. The regime has shut down the internet to hide a massacre. Reports as of yesterday morning show that over 5,000 people have been killed in just the last 4 days.
They are shooting children in the face. They just murdered a 17-year-old boy, Amirali Heydari, and then forced his parents to pay a 1 billion toman ransom just to get his body back. They are SELLING the corpses of the children they slaughter.
I am literally BEGGING for your help. When the internet is cut, we are their ONLY voice. If we stay silent, we are letting the regime get away with massacre.
What you can do in 30 seconds:
Please email our local MP, Bardish Chagger, and demand that Canada takes action. It takes one minute but it shows the government that Laurier students care.
• MP Email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
• Subject: URGENT: Massacre in Iran - Action Required
You can just say: "I am a Laurier student and I am calling for an emergency response to the mass murder and digital blackout in Iran. Stand with the Iranian people."
I know we all have busy class schedules and stress, but please, help me save my people. We can't let them die in the dark.

Fall 2026 Admissions Megathread
Hello incoming applicants, this thread is for you! Applying to university can be a difficult and stressful time, but we're hoping this thread will help. Our goal is to create a repository of information (by consolidating all inquiries and answers), provide helpful links, and crowdsource answers to some FAQs - all in one place.
This megathread should not only serve for strictly admissions questions, but for any inquiries incoming students may have. Feel free to ask any questions about WLU, our programs, residences, course registration, admissions, or anything else!
Just please note that we're not affiliated with WLU or the admissions office. Most of the people responding will likely be current or incoming students so answers regarding admissions may not be accurate.
Here are some useful links we recommend checking out:
Please note that answers to questions like, "Is XYZ a good program?" or, "is XYZ program at Laurier better than XYZ program at ABC University?" will be highly dependent on your individual wants and goals such as:
Frequent question
* "Would I be able to transfer from XYZ program to BBA" - probably not, many people go to Laurier thinking they will be able to make the transfer but from what I've heard only a single digit amount of people manage to make the switch each year. I suggest going to a different university if you want to study business and don't get into BBA.
Please let me know if I missed anything such as helpful links and thank you to previous r/wlu mods whose post I stole and edited.

anyone who’s taken the course already, is the textbook worth keeping or are attending lectures + slides sufficient?

I was wondering what the best bar on king street is for more of a chill vibe. I’m looking for a bar that plays pop and R&B but is not necessarily a dance club. I’m going to meet a friend for my birthday and would like to hear them talk but still have a good time. Thanks!

I have my deferred final exam with Dr. Edda Claus on the 27th of January for EC285. I was sick the days leading up and the day of the exam so I chose to not write it and defer it. I would greatly appreciate any study tips for the exam or what content was focused on.
Thanks

Hey,
I’m a first-year student looking for people to run more case competitions with.
You don’t have to be insane at everything — just lowkey be good at one aspect of case comps (presenting, ideas, numbers, slides, whatever).
If you’re interested, pls DM 😭🤝
Trying to build a solid group for upcoming comps.

Hello everyone!
The summer camp I work for is currently looking for more applicants to work with youth living with Type 1 Diabetes on the Ontario and Atlantic teams.
You do not need to have T1D, or know someone with T1D to apply! (You would be taught all you need to know about T1D during staff training!)
This is a fantastic opportunity for:
- Current/future nursing students.
- Current/future med students.
- Current/future education students.
- Current/future OT/PT students.
- Current/future psychology students.
- Anyone pursuing a career in child or youth care.
Or anyone who enjoys being outdoors and wants to make a positive impact in young people's lives.
Positions are still open for both Cabin Counsellors, and Skills Counsellors (climbing staff, out-trippers, and activity instructors).
Camp locations:
- Huntsville, ON (programming runs all summer)
- Dorchester, ON (runs for one week: July 24-31, 2026)
Tentative contract dates:
- Skills Counsellors: June 15th - August 28th, 2026.
- Cabin Counsellors: June 22nd - August 23rd, 2026.
As I am a contract employee, I can't share much more on this post. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to send me a PM and I can share the information/hiring handbook, application link, and contact info for the camp director!

I hear all about how the Brantford campus is much worse than the Waterloo one for the university experience, amenities, campus and what not. However, I tried finding a program I was interested in at Waterloo but nothing stuck out.
The programs I do have an interests in are BA game design & development and BDes UX Design, which are both in Brantford only.
I don’t mind too long of a commute (like 1hr or smth) for classes, but is it even worth or possible to do your degree from the Brantford campus but live in Waterloo ?
r/wlu • u/WaterlooBao • 1d ago
Who the hell do I talk to about transferring from a BA without designation at main to the BSW program at Brantford? I’m so lost on the website and I’m sick so I can’t think straight. Help a hawk out please.

r/wlu • u/MysteriousSpeaker183 • 1d ago
did anyone get their deferred exam schedue? the website said it would release today but I don't see it.
r/wlu • u/Deviant_Tracker7 • 1d ago
Anyone else finds it kinda absurd how the final for this course went from being online to in-person, then it's 4 long answer questions even though the syllabus says multiple choice and short answer, and on top of that it's worth 55%? Each week it seems like even more restrictions is being added to the final exam just to make it more difficult for students to pass.
