Year after year, Laurier proves to be a premier destination for students looking for excellent academics, innovative programs and an outstanding student experience.

It's hard to know what it's like to be a Laurier Golden Hawk when you haven't experienced it for yourself, so we talked to some international students so they could share their experiences with you.
