Small school and buildings are close by so there is not much travel time between classes. No outlets in many classrooms. Lots of opportunities hosted by the school/clubs to meet new people and have fun. Grocery stores, casino, fast food, library, and hospital are all close by. Lots of school services that help students with a multitude of things.

Not even close to the same league as Laurier in Waterloo.

Terrible.

WLU has decent reputation around Ontario, but not much outside of that. Study anywhere else, nobody enjoys being here. Most of the action, opportunities/ECs are at Waterloo campus. More dedicated study spaces needed, food scene wack; We're forgotten here.
Overall 1.5
There's no concern over students' safety. This is an open campus so sketchy B-ford locals easily find their way inside residence buildings (a few apartments in the one I lived in were robbed plus they will sleep in the lobby of the buildings and beg ), and class buildings (unsafe study spaces). Overall, hate this campus but like the crim program
Overall 1.5
Laurier Brantford was easily one of the worst experiences of my life. A short time after 3rd year, I realized that the university really didn't care about the students, what they care about is pushing the mental health limits of their students but pursuing tuition costs that have already been paid. Can't express my joy that I'm leaving this year.

Go to the Waterloo campus if you can. I really thought "small community" and "downtown outreach" were going to be good things.
Overall 1.7
Laurier insist on building another campus. They should be investing in this sketchy & unsafe campus. Brantford is a dumping ground from lowlifes who harass students on a daily basis. There are little to no opportunities at this university for extra curricular activities. If you are a social student, DO NOT go to this campus. It is beyond boring.
