Kierra's Waterloo Favourite #2: The Student Life Centre.

My favourite place to go on campus is the Student Life Centre. It is commonly referred to as the SLC. It is the hub of the university!

I love walking through the SLC because there is always some type of activity going on whether it's 8:30 in the morning or 11 at night. There are so many resources housed in the SLC and it's always my go-to place when I need something like a late night snack from Tim Hortons, stamps from FedsExpress to mail a letter, Bus schedules for the City Transit, last minute school supplies from the Pharmacy on the bottom floor, to check out my textbooks for the coming term at the Feds Used Bookstore, or to purchase a GO bus ticket from the 24 hour Turnkey Desk. 

With the variety of food facilities and countless places for students to hangout between classes, the SLC is somewhere where student can relax, or socialize. As soon as you stroll through,you really get a feel for student life at Waterloo and what better place to make new friends!
There are also numerous study rooms and quiet lounges scattered through the SLC where you are able to hold your group meetings or do some studying.



Something I find really cool and interesting about the Student Life Centre is that there are always kiosks, and booths in the main foyers. From jerseys, to purses, jewelry, and fudge, there is always a reason to drop by and take a look (it's a great study break!)
Once a term there is also a HUGE poster sale held in the Great Hall and main foyer. You can find the perfect accessory for your room or that hard to find Christmas/ birthday gift.  

I love the atmosphere of the Student Life Centre and always feel a sense of excitement from the buzz of the students. With something happening there every day, it is one of my favourite places to be on campus!
