Slide 3: University/College.
I think that the university which I would prefer is, University of Waterloo. Thats
because I feel that this university is a great university and also provides the program that
is necessary for me to take to be what I want and do what I want to.
I chose a university in Ontario because I feel that since there is already a really
good university here than why bother going to some other place, like to the state. Also it
is better to go a university here so I can still be with my family and friends.
