Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

“I love Laurier because of the variety of opportunities to get involved and the closeness of the community.”

“I love Laurier because there is always so much school spirit and everyone just seems happy to be here. I also love Laurier because it’s easy to make friends here as everyone is so welcoming and happy to help people.”

“I love Laurier because of the supportive community that I have encountered during my four years here. It has led me to academic, international and extra-curricular experiences where I can truly express myself.”
third-year student, Health Sciences program, Waterloo campus
“More than anything, Laurier is a loving community. From the faculty to the students and even the food services staff, everyone is looking to motivate and inspire one another. I have yet to meet a single negative person on campus and I doubt I ever will."
“I love Laurier because it empowers me both in and out of the classroom with meaningful learning experiences that are helping to shape who I am and build the types of skills that define a great leader.”
