Meet Alex, a second-year engineering student at the University of Waterloo who thrives in the vibrant atmosphere of the Student Life Centre. Having lived in St. Paul’s (STI) residence, Alex has developed a passion for cultivating a positive living environment and believes in the power of community. With a knack for socializing and organizing floor events, Alex prefers the lively, modern vibes of STI over the more traditional residences like Village I (V1), which they find a bit outdated. Balancing academics with a robust social life, Alex is a firm believer that a great residence experience enhances overall well-being—just as long as you choose not to co-register!
