University of Waterloo

If you ain't in University of Waterloo (UW) for engineering or some other nerdy stuff like that, you're misusing your money and time, but not necessarily wasting it. UW will also bore you to death. It's a pit where only nerds thrive. That is the price UW is paying to making it to the top in such a short time (less than 60 years). The accolades in ranking for UW speak for themselves: -> 2012 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranking: UW ranked 2nd in Canada and 43rd in the world (for the field of engineering, technology and computer sciences) -> 2012 Business Insider rankings: UW ranked 1st in Canada and 29th in the world (in the list of top engineering schools) -> 2013-2014 Times Higher Education rankings: UW ranked 4th in Canada and 67th in the world (for the field of technology and engineering) -> 2013 QS World University rankings: UW ranked 2nd in Canada and 46th in the world (for the field of engineering) -> 2013 QS World University rankings: UW ranked 2nd in Canada and 27th in the world (in the specific field of computer science and information systems)
