Waterloo seems like a nice school and I was wondering if anyone has gone there and taken either the Physics or Nanotechnology programs (both undergrad.)

if your name is napoleon, i'd recommend you avoid waterloo...

:biggrin:


*dodges boot thrown at me*

umm... by the lack of responses, i'd guess that people either don't know much about it or that people who do know about it aren't responding.

i belong to the first group!
 
thought there nanotech was a new program.
 
I think U of T also offers a nanotechnology program if you take Engineering Science. You will be able to choose Nano as your option in third year.
