Why Students Should Join StartWell
Coworking allows students to get their work done and most importantly, enjoy learning.
With universities and colleges closing physical facilities and turning towards virtual classes, student life has been massively impacted. Even when it is possible, attending classes online and studying from home can be distracting and frustrating. Students at StartWell enjoy 24/7 access to workspace plus Internet access they can rely on, with ergonomic work-stations at a peaceful, clean and secure environment.
- Reliable Infrastructure – Our enterprise grade secure and high speed fibre Internet connectivity means that students can jump on video conferencing calls whenever they need to. Also, we offer 100% uptime on our network through multiplexing connections from Bell & Rogers, so you’ll always be able to get online if you’re on campus.
- Space to Focus & Collaborate – Our 20,000+ sqft campus includes a wealth of spaces to focus on classes and homework – from banks of workstations with desks to common tables and more relaxed lounges, there’s variety to make settling into work fun and comfortable every day. Meeting rooms can accomodate all types of group sizes and come with whiteboards, TVs and video conferencing cameras so students can get together to learn and work on projects.
- Holistic Learning – All members of StartWell have access to our lending library – featuring periodicals and books curated within categories like ‘design thinking’ and ‘entrepreneurship.’ Our aim is to provide knowledge that can inspire individuals to think more broadly, learning more than coursework.
- Community – Social life on campus is enabled simply by proximity and students meet and make friends at their own pace with the security of our professional atmosphere (our campus is home to consultants, startups and corporations like Microsoft.)
- Wellness – At StartWell we’re big on promoting healthy lifestyles – complimentary Vinyasa yoga classes are available to members & held on campus twice per week, plus our free cafe services mean that you’ll always have loose-leaf tea and coffee when you’re learning.
- Preparing for a bright future – Drop-in office hours on campus are held weekly – providing mentorship and career planning advice at no charge to student members.
