BBA/BMATH at UW vs. WLU

I’m trying to decide between UW and Laurier for BBA/BMath. My main goal is high finance (IB/PE etc.) so Waterloo’s co-op is significant to me.

At the same time, I’m kinda worried about the social side at UW. Every post I read about it makes it sound super grindy like everyone studies 24/7.

Laurier seems like it has a better social atmosphere but I’m worried that I’d be giving up opportunities by not choosing UW.

Would appreciate hearing from people in either program, especially anyone targeting finance careers. Do you regret your choice at all? How much of a difference have you seen in co-op and career outcomes based on which school is your home school?
