Overview

Laurier traces its roots to the opening of the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary in Waterloo more than 100 years ago in 1911. We’ve gone through several changes since then, and in 1973 our name changed from Waterloo Lutheran University to Wilfrid Laurier University. In 1999, we opened our campus in Brantford.

Waterloo Campus
Laurier's Waterloo campus is home to more than 18,800 undergraduate and graduate students. On this close-knit campus, you're steps away from classes, residence and campus amenities. Whether you're running into friends, finding your favourite study spot or watching a game at University Stadium, campus soon becomes your home away from home.
