What is first year going to be like for an SAF (AFM, CFM, Math/CA, Biotech/CA) student?
Now that you can officially call yourself a Waterloo student, you may be wondering what it's really like to be a part of the School of Accounting and Finance. Can you picture yourself actually being here?
Out first-year preview makes student life a reality. Now, you can find out what first-year courses are like, get tips and pointers from current students, and meet the SAF faculty and staff, all from the perspective of an incoming student - just like you!
Each year, one student has the chance to go "behind the scenes" (otherwise known as "inside the new School of Accounting and Finance building") to meet students, faculty, and staff, to ask questions and get the answers that all first years want to know!
