Choosing a program and university can be a difficult decision. Your kids need your love, guidance and support to choose the best program for them. Here are some important questions for you and your child to discuss during the university process. They can help ensure you are covering all the important topics and help make the decision-making process easier.
You know your kid, and you know what they’re passionate about. And for every passion, there are programs that will turn that passion into a successful career. Here are some questions to ask that will get your child thinking about programs in creative ways.
Often there are many paths to the same destination. Your child will do their best studying a field that they're passionate about.

At Laurier, we have more than 80 undergraduate degree programs, along with dozens of options and minors that students can add to their program to enhance their degree.

Knowing them as well as you do, you can help your child determine which school’s location is the best fit for their needs and personality. You can ask questions like:
The best way to get a feel for the location is to experience it for yourself. Bring them for an open house or take a campus tour and explore the surrounding area while you're here.
Going to university is a huge life change, so it’s important to consider the non-academic supports your child might need. Check out the health and wellness services, extracurricular activities and career services that are offered at each institution.
