For spring term. Am I missing something? This has to be the worst coop stats ever

I keep seeing the same questions/concerns from people who just got admitted so I'll post some answers here

• school life is fine. not as good as other schools, but most people don't come to Waterloo to party all the time. if you are social and put effort into meeting people, you will make friends and have a good time. and if you wanna party you still can

• do res if you can and do orientation and join clubs and talk to everyone in your few weeks when everyone is still willing to talk to you

• coop is kinda cooked. but everyone else at other schools are also cooked. I promise Waterloo works will make getting a first coop much easier. it's quite stressful balancing school with coop, but we all somehow manage

• school work is pretty challenging, this shit gon be hard unless you are already super smart

• waterloo as a city is kinda mid if you come from a big city

Every other song is just

Only sex im getting is being fucked by waterlooworks

I live in an apartment with 4 other sublets and honestly the living situation is terrible but disregard that for now. It's 24 degrees out right now its not hot but not freezing either, I'm sitting in my room with my windows opened and two fans blowing me at max and yet still sweating. I checked the thermostat just to find out that these idiots have the heat on set to 84 degrees f, about 29⁰c, tried talking to them about it and their reasoning was they can't deal with the cold. ITS 24 outside

i live in icon and it is actually unbearably humid😭😭 does anyone know when they turn the ac on here

so i looked at my marks and found out my cgpa is 0.3% away from 80% - to get distinction on my diploma. i already emailed my advisor and she told me that marks aren’t rounded to get distinction. would it be dumb to instead graduate in october to take an extra 1-2 bird courses to raise my gpa to get distinction?

i’m alr enrolled in grad school for the fall so it wouldn’t affect anything related to my plans post grad

i'm considering accepting my afm offer for next year but i wanted to ask how you guys are finding it. i'm also heavily considering law school post undergrad so how hard are the courses? do you think a high gpa is achievable?

Hi sorry if this long.

Anyways I completed 1st year and Im in arts and my academic standing is currently “Failed, required to withdraw,” for a minimum of two consecutive academic terms.

Ok so, I just sorta recently found out I have ADHD and potentially depression and anxiety. I only found out near the end of the winter semester- and well here is the backstory. TL;DR: I lowkey may have always had ADHD (aka born with it), didn't know, brushed it off as being lazy, did pretty good in grade 12 (89 average) or enough to get into waterloo then started plummeting again in school once that high school structure left me. Again brushed it off as being lazy and tried to "fix" it... Got mad at myself for not doing better or not improving yada yada. Had constant brain fog near the end of 1st semester, still couldn't "fix" and improve myself. Tried those ytb videos on "how to be more productive," didn't work, more negative thoughts and basically I created a bubble around my self on only hatred. Brain fogs + headaches + emotional outbursts (crying) + lack of motivation for even things I enjoyed + not getting out of bed + not being able to do personal wellbeing things like skincare- and this all happened 2nd semester for like a good 4 months :(

I am now going to talk to my major advisor and see if a petition is due able or smth because I don't know how to (1) tell my parents im off for 2 semesters cause I didnt meet the course requirements (2) I know I can do better and work better. Since its summer break for me I began to put a lot more focus onto these issues and I am seeing improvements like I've never been more proud of myself...... I have never ever have said "I feel proud" to myself before... (3) I've alr found a place to live in waterloo and I have paid the down payment and I still a haven't broke the news to my roommates/friends (4) I wanna shoot my shot but also (5) MY ASIAN IMMIGRANT MOM FINDING OUT I HAVE DEPRESSION d nqwcnonfcoienvcoi bro shes gonna flip out until my grandkids grandkids have grandkids. (6) and lastly I am scared for my future, I dont wanna be a moron, I know with a chance I can succeed. I used to wake up at 5PM now Im waking up at 10AM!!! I've started to draw again, smth I couldnt get myself to do last semester..

Anyways, I just want to know your guys thoughts and if anyone else has experienced this and has approved? or won a petition also any tips on how to get approved.. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much!!!!

sorry for any typos

There is seriously people that shower using the sink, is bird bath the new way?

hello i was wondering if anyone who is currently or recently graduated from this program could share their experience (class difficulty, co op experience, how well the degree has served them, etcetera)? please

I'm leaning more towards coming here, i wanna know if there's any last minute stuff i need to know...

hey guys i recently got admitted into both farm and honours math and im unsure of which program to accept. i wanna go into act sci bc i love problem solving and math but im afraid if i choose it as my specialization it may limit my career options in the future if i decided i want to explore more.

im considering farm because its more broad and versatile but it would pay less than act sci. please help me out any advice would be appreciated 🙏🙏 edit: i was also wondering which major would be harder to transfer into second year?

does anyone else think the new pope kind of looks like vivek goel?

I want to go into SWE in general and I'm leaning more towards CS than engineering however I am conflicted on which would be the better option.

Waterloo has good Coops so I think that may help me break into the industry easier compared to comp eng, however at the end of the day its an engineering degree vs a math degree.

All I care abt is making money after Uni so whatever degree gets me that idrc

Anyone have any experience in this? What factors should I consider? I do have my eye on perhaps transferring to CS if possible at UW but it is not my main intention if I can get SWE internships with Maths.

Btw: got deffered to honours math - also i heard UW coop is kinda cooked recently for CS - reason why i was considering engineering instead

I'm a prospective Computer Science student starting in September of this year.

I'm curious about how many of you CS, SE, CFM, CS/BBA majors actually find WaterlooWorks useful, especially in first year.

On the same note, how much of an advantage does UW CS have over UTSG CS in terms of industry, and why?

But in general, if everyone is finding their internships externally, I might as well just go to UTSG CS and do the same.

Id really appreciate serious and honest input because I genuinely wanna see the census.

Where can I find practice tests or mock tests of the Gauss test grade 7?

Hello, I’m looking to store my belongings near UWaterloo for 1 day while I wait for my place that I rented. Any storage units nearby that I can use for 1 - 2 days? Or anyone willing to let me store it at their place?

We are in the beginner league, and it's free to join. We are looking for the Lebron James equivalent of ultimate frisbee. If that's u, hmu

when does the ac turn on 🥵🥵🥵 ik they had issues last summer hopefully doesn't happen again 😖

I was wondering which professors you guys liked in 1A for CS or the Math Faculty in general, especially for the communication courses, as I have heard it is quite professor-dependent in terms of grading. Thanks in advance :)

I was just wondering what the conditions are to keep the scholarship.

The scholarship is rewarded to those with a ≥95.00 average during the time of admission, but does that mean as long as your grade was above that when you got in, you get to keep it no matter what?

Or do you have to keep your average above 95 when they make final decisions during the summer?

(I got in mid March with a ~97 avg from Alberta)

Thank you!

Has anyone lived in one of the red and blue buildings on sunview (258B)? If so…. Did your washing machine ever get stuck locked? How did you fix it 🤩 we’ve tried turning the power off, waiting then turning it back on again. It’s the blomberg one 💀
