Lower tuition costs, a good business program, the chance of co-op.

$30000 CAD a year

Because it had a small campus and a community feel. I enjoyed the feel of the campus when I was researching it. Additionally, this was one of the few universities in Canada where they did offer a co-op program to art students.

It costs 20,000 Canadian dollars per year for an international student. This is not in addition to fees such as student union. We also pay extra for health insurance. There is also an extra charge if we miss appointments on campus. Often we find random charges and financial holds on our accounts

It had the program I wanted and has a really good community. The campus is nice and small so it is easy to get to know everyone. The professors are nice and helpful. The university staff help make the school feel welcoming so I went.

The fee structure is in the first year you pay for the mandatory one card and get the meal plan of your choosing on it. You pay for your tuition and residence. Other costs can come in like health care, student union. You can be charged for dropping a class later and other fees like textbooks.

I opted for this university because of the unique program that it provided. Political science BA with an LLB Law degree in England. It also had a small campus which made it more personalized. It is number 1 in student satisfaction.

Laurier tuition is less than. Mostly it provides a basic fee of courses. Although you must pay more to use the health options, if you lose your student ID.

It was one of the only options for me to take Kinesiology because in high school I didn't take advanced math or chemistry. I have always loved the school because my older sister studies here as well, so when I got accepted it was an easy decision.

The fees are paid every semester online through a credit card. You pay for tuition and then on top of that about 20 different club fees that go towards helping out the school. Other charges include textbooks, a lab coat and a dissecting kit for me. I don't find the cost at my school very high compared to other schools which are nice in case you are responsible for your own tuition. Another fee that applies to me is rent, which I pay monthly from May-May every year I live here.

Because I got to move away from home and experience living on my own as well as gaining the freedom of having my own place without someone always asking me questions. As well as the program here at Laurier is amazing for business.

The fee structure is you pay your fees twice so basically once in September and then another time in January. Other charges have to be textbooks which are so expensive and you can?t even buy used ones bc each textbook has a code for an online class.
