Many opportunities

Personally, Wilfrid Laurier University is a school best known for its business program. It tends to stand out because of the co-op and shouldn't be understated that the options are limitless, as well as the fact that there's countless opportunities to grow and connect with others. This goes without saying the amount of case competitions readily available for all students to join into.
