<p>I am a student from China and will enter U of Waterloo to pursue my PHD degree in theoretical physics. I also get offers from Stanford and UT Austin, but I declined both of them, due to the fact that Waterloo is extremly excellent at theoretical physics.</p>
<p>I would like to know whether Waterloo is a good school in the eyes of the Americans. If I graduate from Waterloo, how much the chance I can find a decent job in U.S.?
Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>I’ve heard of Waterloo, but not much. I’ve only heard about its actuarial science program from a friend of mine. I can’t say I know too much about it, though.</p>
<p>I think people in the U.S. will recognize UT Austin and Stanford more than Waterloo, but I don’t think that will necessarily hinder your ability to find a decent job in the U.S.</p>
<p>^ I know that Microsoft hires computer science students from Waterloo on a very, very regular basis. And its math program is the foremost in Canada. Canadian universities, however, aren’t very recognized in the US.</p>
<p>You speak pretty good english for a student from China</p>
