I assume OP is in grad school. I took a few grad classes during my undergrad and the difference was night and day (teaching and cohort). So maybe your school was fine and you were just in the wrong classes. :)
Nope undergrad. UWaterloo just has a special co-op program that extends the degree and fits in six four-month internships in alternating school and work, for a total of two years of work experience by graduation.
