The University of Waterloo is spread across a 1000-acre main campus and 100+ buildings. To a few students, the campus could seem too far-stretched and not as beautiful as you'd expect. The campus buildings can vary from being brand new to an absolutely 19th century old one. The campus is divided into three parts: South, North and Northwest Campus. South campus is where you'll have most of your lectures. It's mostly academic. The North campus has research centres. The Waterloo Research and Technological Park is on the north campus. Lastly, the Northwest is considered to be the least developed. It has farm fields and even an environmental reserve.
The university has three satellite campuses at Kitchener, Huntsville and Stratford.
The university has 4 libraries with more than 1.4 million books. Out of them, the Dana Porter library runs 24 hours. The University of Waterloo also has its own 'Earth Sciences Museum' which mainly covers the Great Lakes, dinosaurs, mammals and ice-age mammals.
