How’s life at Waterloo rn? How are the people, faculty members, profs? Thanks for your guys answers 🙏🙏

Hi all,

Please may you spam me with your lovely fall places for a photo shoot following a special event? 🙏🍂❤️ I know this fall hasn't been very autumn-y... If you also have nice scenic spots in the region with a lack of pedestrian foot traffic ideal for a photo shoot, please kindly let me know.

Thanks a ton!

Is it actually worth the price? I hate layering, so I’m thinking of getting it for this fall/winter… it’s kinda expensive don’t wanna waste my money 😫

Anyone know if we are supposed to base the KSF using the ones taught to us? Or instead finding your own industry specific key success factors, i.e. not based on employees, customers, product & services, etc

Hi everyone, can someone give me insight to how this midterm is? Please 🙏

Hi everyone. I'm moving to st catharines for an internship. I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?

I see local KW sport teams (non UW) use the field for their team's training. Are the parents actually paying the UW parking lot fee?

The title says it. I don't know what to do and am wondering if I should drop out of the program or retake the course next semester. Comparing to my friends they all have good scores solid 70s and some a bit higher and I thought I'd be with them but no. Any advice from anyone else who experienced similar first sem math

Thanks ;)

just got my math 135 midterm back and i failed it now i’m sitting at a failing grade in the course. anyone else in 1a having the same and how do you bounce back before the final or am i cooked.

My xps won’t turn on😭. Already went to Best Buy and they said they’d need 2-3 weeks to get parts. Was wandering if anyone knew a place I can get a temporary laptop or a place that could possibly fix it as fast as possible.

It's been 4 years. I still seethe and shake at the thought. You truly let us down. An entire SLC cheering in unison. True school spirit, united by dong. I missed a lecture I got participation grades in for you. I gave up a piece of my gpa for you.

For shame. Never meet your heroes.

Hi all, really hoping someone can help me out here. I'm looking to locate the owner of a small beige dog, probably a pug or similar, that lives in the area near the corner of John and Dunbar near Belmont/Uptown in Waterloo.

My dog and I were walking today when we came across this dog off leash and unfortunately it must have been spooked because it starting attacking my dog while its owner was hurrying to grab it. Apparently it got out by accident. All seemed fine at the time but noticed as I was heading home that I had blood on my hands and a small injury had occurred.

Anyway not looking to get this dog in any trouble but want to locate it to ensure proper vaccinations. It seemed they lived in a house near the corner of Dunbar and John but honestly I was so frazzled I don't recall exactly what house and I tried driving back later but couldn't locate it.

Anyone know of the dog I'm talking about? I'm also 95% sure the dog only had one eye which is a HUGELY unique characteristic but I don't fully trust my brain at the moment....

Feel free to DM me to keep things private here. Again not looking to escalate, it was just an unfortunate situation

I got a 55% on my midterm and I’m worried that I’m going to fail my final and future quizzes.

I never understand what my prof teaches in class nor do they post anything on learn either.

If anyone who took math 135 who did bad but improved afterwards what did you implement and how did you study for the course? I feel so stupid in this course and have a hard time understanding the concepts

Four of us went fishing on Lake Simcoe today. The weather was outstanding,I think I've got sunburn. We kept 37 perch and 1 very large burbot.

And we had a blast, a great, fun, crew today - thanks for coming.

Just letting everyone know to be extra careful walking at night. My younger sister was walking home and this man kept asking if she needed a ride home and wouldn’t leave, he kept circling around her and coming back, eventually until someone got to pick her up he was gone.

She described him as a 40/50 year old black man with stubbly beard, his vehicle was black, small/possibly honda civic.

Please keep your kids/friends aware of creepos out there.

I feel like I’ll fail right off the bat by failing MATH 115. I wish I was smarter. I feel like I’m the only one struggling.

I was looking into a way to fund the improvement, safety and separation of bicycles and vehicle traffic that everyone pays for, equally.

The idea would be every street that has a bicycle lane would eventually get a curb and/or flex bollards to better protect cyclists.

This would also fund new trails and improve current trails.

The numbers were all on the conservative side from ChatGPT…so the amount of actual money could be substantially more.

The estimate is over $10,000,000 per year.

I’ll drop the breakdown in the first post.

I feel like every barber i go to just specializes in blow-out tapers lol. I'm fine with a traditionally "womens" salon if they do good cuts. Thanks for any recs!

want my big cookie :(

im in 3A public health looking for my 4th coop this term, and i applied to a TA position with WIL because i was recommended for it. i got matched with 1 and i clicked wasn't interested because it wasn't in my field, and i realized i want my last 2 coops to be within the health sector. today, my coop advisor emailed me and said they've given me an employment offer, and that i have until tmrw @ 4pm to let them know my decision. usually, i wouldn't even think twice about rejecting the role but seeing cycle 2 jobs roll out for HEALTH, i'm scared i might be unemployed for my 4th work term. I NEED ADVICE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

tldr: i’m a 3a public health student looking for my 4th co-op. i declined a ta role with wil since it’s not in health, but now i’ve been offered it and have to decide by tomorrow. i want my last co-ops in health, but i’m scared of being unemployed if i reject it.

Hi Reddit community, we are considering a home in the Beechwood community and wanted to understand the demographic and how the neighborhood is for a non- white families. How is the diversity like in Mary Johnston school?

If somebody did take the course, how were your midterms? I got a prof that goes by the name Manoj.

does anyone in po210 know what the hypotheticals will be and what the long answer essay question will be

i’m allowed a cheat sheet for ec120 and data100. can i print my cheat sheet for both those classes, or does it need to be handwritten? i take notes on my ipad so it would be so much easier if i could just print it.

From the EngageWR website:

Waterloo Region is growing quickly, and so is YKF - our International Airport.

Over the next 20 years, the airport will continue to become much more than a place to catch a flight—it could be a hub for buses, trains, and light rail, a center for good local jobs in aviation and aerospace, and a gateway that connects us to the world.

We want to hear from you. Your input will help guide the development of the Airport Growth Plan – a long-term vision document that outlines how the airport grows in a way that supports our community, protects the environment, and keeps Waterloo Region moving forward.

I haven’t started studying and I have Barely went to classes and I regret it but I can’t really change the past. Please tell me how I can study effectively in the next few days and get a decent grade in the midterm if possible. I think I’m cooked

Just last term, around July-August, I was seeking for URA opportunities with this prof, whom has said that he’s got time and spots open this term.

Around the end of last semester, around end of August I specifically went to him in person reinstated that I’m still interested in this opportunity. He said sure yeah send me an email right after the end of this term and we can arrange that.

Fast forward to the beginning of August, I sent emails with no reply. After nearly a whole month, he finally replied with “yeah let’s talk about this”. We did end up meeting and talked a bit about my research interests, and after a while he sent me something to read and review. This is now at the end of August, beginning of September.

After finishing some experimental work and codes, I sent back my work for review and some next steps. Radio silence. For an entirety of three weeks and on. Just today, I found out he’s actually on sabbatical, which he did not state ever before.

The thing is, I’m also in the process of preparing for my grad school applications so I really really really value this opportunity. Over the time, I have definitely sent more than five emails (almost weekly), a couple teams messages (which is shown as read but still ghosted), especially provided with tangible results that has costed me in around 20-30 hours of research and learning.

Who does this to students working under him?? Like, what makes this guy not care enough to not even say that he’s gonna be on sabbatical for the whole semester??? Especially when he reinstates that he has time specifically this semester?? Wtf.

I am beyond furious now because it feels like a total waste of my last month. I worked really really hard trying to balance out my plate and I could’ve just went for something else and get much better results and responses. Man. Life sucks.

My son is thinking of applying to uwaterloo, entry Sept 2027; B.Sc w/Integrated Airline Transport Pilot Licence program. Coming from BC. Will want to live in rez.

Your insight, moans, groans, tips, warnings, caveats and all other thoughts very welcome. Thanks in advance.

How did we all do?

I have an interview tomorrow with a marketing company called "United West Mississauga". They’re hiring marketing trainees. But looked through their website and LinkedIn profile, I am confused about their clients or company structure.

Has anyone worked here before? Any idea of how this job about?

• already received two recruiting spam messages before, and I really appreciate learning more about how to identify them😭

Know the 2nd questions probably happens everywhere. Question 1: Why do 90% of drivers that go to whistle bear golf course drive incredibly slow on Dickie settlement road? And no half are not even old and the entrance is massive.

Question 2: Why are there so many drivers that go under the speed limit and just can’t make it there, to then enter a school zone or area where the speed drops by 30km/hr (say 80 on cedar creek road to 50 at Southwood) but then will continue going the 70km they were going? So you can’t go 80 but you can speed by 20 over in a school area. What the fuck is going through there head?

Honestly though i did better :(

Would have thought itd come out by now I thought they usually do it right before reading week starts

Going into back-to-back co-op terms (Winter and Summer). Got matched on WaterlooWorks last Friday, but just got an offer from the US that I honestly can’t reject. They do J1 visa, and they mentioned the possibility of extending into the Summer term.

I already understand the consequences of reneging the Winter match - no co-op credit, not being full-time, maybe a note on record, etc. What I’m not sure about is how that plays into the summer term.

If I’m technically not a “full-time student” (how does it show up on transcript/enrolment letter?) in Winter because I reneged, does that mean I can’t get a J1 visa for Summer? Or does it not matter if it’s an extension of the same internship?

Basically just trying to figure out if reneging Winter would screw me over for doing the US internship in Summer.

I'm walking through the park minding my own business near the cricket field when suddenly right across from me i see an old lady double fisting me the middle finger in the air randomly and wouldn't stop.

So i slowed down and asked what her deal was to which her response to me was: "you're from india and i want you to go back home" I was thinking wth because i was born and raised here in KW i am full Canadian which i told her as well as that she was being incredibly disrespectful and should be ashamed for discriminating against other people.

She ignored all of this and was convinced that i was lying to her by saying "i dont believe you" so in the end I was pretty offended/upset then i started laying into this person and only shortly after she started to walk away from me calling me a "sandn****r" so once i heard that i just told her to go fuck herself and moved on.

It may be the same person who was on the news last year for doing the same thing towards someone else who actually was indian but its still pretty disappointing to see how bitter some senior citizens have become here in town its sad although chances are this lady is just nuts.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

It getting to the point where I’m going to become very angry with my community I decorate to bring joy not to bring theft to my house

People… where can I find this sausage? Other big cities in Canada stock it in grocery stores… like Spolumbo and Valbella in Calgary or butcher’s shops across Toronto…

I have never found it here. The closest was turkey cranberry breakfast sausage from Snyder’s Heritage Farms.

I am a second year student. My friend is moving back to town and we are trying to find a place together, though I have a fall/winter contract at UWP that im trying to get out of. I had a friend who was going to take it but she backed out last minute😭. So if anyone is on the waiting list for residence i would love to help!!! Move in would be ASAP! My insta is a_alec.a

Hello all!

Looking for recommendations. Have you had a stellar european manicure (aka an efile manicure - natural nails, no extensios)? Tell me about your stellar tech!

• Who did the work?
• Where are they located (City)?
• What type of products do they use (specifically for application of polish)?
• How happy were you with the results?
• Did your nails last until your next appointment?

Gracias from the bottom of my 💜

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know a pub in KW which will show the Canada vs. Colombia match tonight?

Cheers!

I’m a 2A Math and Physics student currently searching for a co-op position, but I’ve been struggling to find something that aligns with my interests. I’m really passionate about renewable energy and national defense technologies, but most of the postings I’ve seen on WaterlooWorks don’t seem to match those areas.

I’ve already done a small project related to renewable energy, which got me even more interested in the field, but I don’t have any direct experience in defense-related research or engineering. I’d love to get some exposure to either area, even if it’s just a supporting or research-based role.
So far, I’ve been mainly using WaterlooWorks, but I’m wondering if there are other places I should be looking, such as external job boards, LinkedIn, or specific company websites. If anyone knows good organizations, research groups, or companies that hire students for roles related to renewable energy or national defense, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

If you’ve been in a similar situation, trying to connect math or physics skills with work in these fields, I’d also love to hear how you approached it.

can someone clarify everything we gotta submit by the end of reading week for the CIIP project and pre lab as well? do we have to make and submit our slideshow as well? how many slides should we be having in our powerpoint?

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has any guidance on the type of questions asked on recent midterms for BU387, BU357, BU283, or EC395.
