University of Waterloo

[IdahoBucha]

Hi all,

I just joined U Waterloo for a Phd in Mathematics, I plan to live off campus and drive to the school everyday,

I'm moving to waterloo next week.

Does anyone know which is the best driving school in/around Waterloo ? (and cheap considering grad school scholarship :-) )

I wouldn't bother learning to drive just to go between home and campus because your uWaterloo student card serves as a year-round free bus pass (grad students pay a manditory, subsidized fee for it each term). Check out www.grt.ca for the bus routes and schedules. If you've already rented a place to live, check out how convenient it would be to take the bus, and if you haven't yet rented, keep the bus routes in mind when selecting a place.

Bikes are also great! Some people ride year-round, using an old bike through the winter months. Waterloo has some bike lanes, especially around the universities.
