moving to Cambridge soon and would like to find a place to stay for 2-6 months while house is getting sorted. Trying to avoid airbnb and can furnish myself. does such a place exist?

Hi everybody! This is Becky, one of the WUSA directors.

I’m BRAND new to this role, which means I’m still learning and tryna get the hang of everything.

But, I also want to do a good job as a director and so, I want to know what everyone dislikes and likes about loo.

If you bring up your lack of pull game…not my problem (start hinge-maxxing or smth 😭)

PLEASE SHARE YOUR GENUINE LIKES AND DISLIKES ABOUT LOO (stuff I can act try to fix)

(PS I also just finished first year and I wanna try good food around campus so drop some recs)

I recently committed to western health sci but I’m starting to regret it. I got accepted to Waterloo health sci but it expired.

I want to transfer after my first year. I still want coop but I heard that the credit transfer might affect my chances of getting that.

I seriously regret not picking waterloo. Idk what I was on. Any advice?

i saw the other persons post and im also regretting choosing waterloo cs. However, i genuinely like coding and doing coding assignment.

im just starting to feel like i should have chose my SYDE offer instead just because i could have pursued comp sci jobs having taken syde while vise versa isn’t really possible

all the doom and gloom posts topped with job insecurity really makes me feel like i made the wrong decision

Has anyone here ever thrown a kids party at Shade's Mill?

I know it's technically allowed.. I'm just thinking about the logistics and the safety of the children?

Context: My kid asked for a "Beach" party this year for her birthday. We've started planning it all out now, tents, activities. But the idea of kids running around near water makes me uneasy.

Am I in over my head? Am I overacting?

Adults (parents) will be there and ofc, should be watching their own kids. And there will be some kid-less adults there who can help with the food and stuff.

Am I stressing over nothing? Or is this a bad idea? The kids ages range from 1-11, most of them 4/5.

Hey everyone,

A couple of friends and I applied to Waterloo. I ended up getting denied, but virtually all of them got in. At this moment, I am on a call with one of them, and they encouraged me to ask the subreddit. Could anyone tell me why? I believe I am a strong student, as my resume is extensive.

Program: Mechanical Engineering

For reference (do note, it's cut short since I don't want to make it seem like I'm bragging):

- Average: 97%, between the top 6, it is 96%

- Volunteer hours: 505

- Completed a special program where I can take a university credit in high school, and achieved 99% in that course

- Valedictorian (I understand it doesn't mean much in Canada, but I felt it should be worth mentioning)

- Science Competitor at local university, awarded 2nd and 3rd

- Awarded busary by my high school (My commencement is in two days. I was not told what award it was, but I was informed that I did win, and that it will be revealed on the day of commencement)

- Various awards for character and academic achievement, some of these being in the sciences, others in music (it's a big passion of mine). Over my high school career, it is about 12-15.

- Achieved fourth quartile on my Casper Test

Again, I don't mean to come off as egoistic, but I do think my high school career has been strong, and that my admission was strong, too. Many of my friends agree.

I apologize if this is a weird post. This is my first post on Reddit lol.

hii

anyone whos doing/has done the human rights BA, whats your thoughts? whats the courses & profs like? in ur opinion is it a good program?

how likely is a transfer? how many credits would i likely have to retake?

i chose my tmu biomed offer due to financial concerns of going away from home, despite having a decent avg

now i feel like the debt is worth it for the experience + theres now a chance i can make by and afford it when i didnt believe i could before.

i saw somebody in this sub got accepted with an 80 first year in western health sci. wb tmu biomed?

i wanna transfer mainly bc i want the traditional uni experience, the social life of a non-commuter, a nicer campus and bc i feel embarassed to say im going to tmu, knowing i couldve gone to better unis (ik its a bit vain but its killing me a bit)

I might have gotten a very good opportunity to intern only in my 3B term, but from what I know the two stream are converging in 3B, so I wonder if I can still do a coop at that time?

If it is indeed possible but at the cost of delaying graduation, would that cause any issue with pgwp as an international student for extending a year in graduation?

Are we cooked?

I’m on my coop term rn as a first year, and I’m currently on a QA/Test Automation team. I had a task of making some scripts that would create stuff, but somehow (no one including myself knows how rn) the script is constantly being run even if I turn off the application and shut everything down. So it’s just been spamming the logs. Luckily it’s in a QA environment so it has no affect to production, but one of my coworkers lowk got pissed since he needs to read the logs ig.

My manager said it’s okay it’s not that big of a deal since it’s in the testing environment and she’s on my side, but she also said that the coworker that got mad is the type to bring it to a higher up (higher than my manager).

We still haven’t been able to solve the problem yet and I’m scared of what might happen. Any help or thoughts if ppl experienced something similar I would greatly appreciate 🙏

As the title says I’m looking for a run. Competition but I need to go to work the next day. My weekly run ends in June with the school year.

Has anyone tried the 10 k gold rings at peoples jewelry for $40 dollard

As an incoming first year, I need to select 2 communication courses for my requirement. I heard ppl saying SPCOM 223 is pretty good but I lwk hate public speaking. Should I still take it? Will I succeed as someone who doesn't like speaking in front of many ppl? And what other courses are good from list 1 and 2?

prolly a stupid question but y\uh

Why is there only one physics class running at 8:30pm-9:50pm?? This is required for my degree and I’m commuting 1 hour and 45 mins on the bus. If I take this class (which I need to) I will come back home at 1am. This is insane can someone help me?

I need help and guidance in terms of how to get a 90+

Hey friends,
I’m 25 M here, I have no experience in singing rather than in my mind and while showering
I’m gonna a give a try tonight
They asked me for pop/rock
My song is Attention-Charlie puth

Any tips for me ? So I can try that
Thanks

I’m a 23M in KW. I grew up here and I’m honestly having trouble finding people who are like me:

- introverted
- hate clubs and drinking out (although I do it sometimes)
- I’m artsy, like making movies and watching movies
- writing

If anybody wants to talk or anything I’d love to meet new people.

Please be in your 20s, thank you.

Has anyone experienced getting ticks in Churchill Park? I heard ticks are worse this year so I was just wondering if I should put bug spray on to go there.

Learn to drive, you silly goose.

You were apparently trying to qualify for the Indy 500 through the construction zone so you could make the Ottawa Street off-ramp 2.3 seconds faster. I moved over and got in front of you, not expecting someone to come flying up like they were transporting a donor heart.

After that, you got in front of me, brake checked me multiple times, swerved lanes every time I tried to get away from you, then pulled over in front of the community centre and hopped out in your muscle shirt revealing your badass tattoos, ready for what I can only assume was a passionate discussion about road etiquette, and how “I was in the wrong”.

Unfortunately, I was picking up my wife. Otherwise, I would’ve loved pulling over with you and we could’ve picked dandelions together and talked about our feelings.

Seriously though, some people in this city need to calm the hell down. Everyone’s doing 20 over, treating road markings as optional suggestions, and driving like they’re the main character in Fast & Furious: Kitchener Drift.

I genuinely could not care less where you’re heading or how late you are. I’d just like to make it home alive, and I imagine everyone else would too.

Anyway, if you see this, you sweet, muscle-headed Corolla man, shoot me a message. I’d love to hear why you’re so angry at complete strangers while simultaneously driving like a blind squirrel with a caffeine addiction.

Drive safe, folks. Your destination isn’t worth somebody else’s funeral.

I couldnt attend the midterm review today. Does anyone know what was covered, and how are you guys preparing?

There's really no point to all of this. I grinded away to get the cali co-op with the pay that I thought I wanted, and now that I've had it for a couple terms I just don't care anymore. I grew up without a lot of money in my family but beyond a certain point (which all engineers can attain) it just doesn't matter...

I'd be happy with a 'chud chopped' life in Canada working for a smaller salary but more relaxed and with a work-life balance where I can do the things I want without being so fucking exhausted from work all of the time. And with someone I love. Nothing else really matters.

Was at kitchener station, trying to get home and an empty train rolled by and apparently is out of service? It's like 6:40 rn. What the heck happened lol.

Has anyone gotten their doors and windows replaced with Howald windows & doors. How was your experience? Would you recommend them?

Plan:
Annex Laurier
Annex UoG
Annex McMaster
Annex UofT
Annex UoA
Annex UNC

Please give the lore drop, I keep seeings posts and I have no clue what any of it means, thanks!

I'm a pedestrian who lives nearby and the amount of times I see this is maddening. There's no left turn lane. There's no advanced light. Please don't try to turn left, you are holding up traffic and will get horned.

I’m an incoming BBA student I need easy electives to boost my gpa. Recommend some courses plss

Looking for a 4-5 star rated place. Preferably not a tech that works from home, but don’t mind if it’s great service. TIA!

Hi all. I'm looking for recommendations for a good divorce lawyer in Kitchener/Waterloo and maybe even Toronto. Doesn't matter if they're expensive. Caught my husband cheating, yay me! 😄

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming first-year nuclear engineering student at Ontario Tech this fall, but my goal is to apply for a transfer into waterloo ee. i know that transferring is difficult but during my grade 12 year, i became homeless and I've been living independently at a youth shelter ever since. my grade 12 marks took a massive hit because of this and i was diagnosed with adhd during my time at the shelter. I have an official letter of support from my social worker with the timeline of my crisis. after getting all the supports needed after the rough period, i was able to get 95s again in the evaluations (my current schools adjustment factor is sub 10) although my overall grades are pretty bad due to the rough period. since i am applying for the transfer with official documentation from social workers and psychiatrists, how viable is this transfer, and will my rough grade 12 marks disqualify me if my first year university gpa is very high? I'd appreciate any realistic insights or advice from anyone who has transferred or navigated the special consideration process. thanks.

to be clear id be able to get my grades up above a 70 in all my courses

Time: 6pm

I have heard a lot of stories of people finding it ridiculously difficult to be accepted for a Co-Op job. Is this true? Or is it only true for some programs?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to gift a Korean lash lift experience to a friend and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a spa or salon that specializes in Korean lash lifts, particularly for short Asian lashes.
I'm hoping to find a place with experience working with straight, shorter lashes and that provides natural-looking results.
Any recommendations or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 😊

What do I even do at this point? It's such bad PR for the school...

Looking for weeknight social activity groups in KW, ideally starting 7pm or later. Things like board games, trivia, bowling, etc.

Found the Waterloo Young Professionals meetup group but their recent meetups look more discussion style stuff. Anything more regular, activity-based out there?

Best indoor play place to take a 1 year old ? Play Lab ?

Hello everyone,

As the title says. I’ll still do my research and call around for brokers and do quotes online. But thought I’d post on here as well just in case anyone knows of any promotion or any place that offer cheap rates locally?

I’ve been with my current provider (belairdirect) for 10 years, so a little out of the game with what’s out there. For some reason they’re increasing my auto insurance 25%, and home by 30% and I never had a claim or anything. So thought I’d shop around before my renewal date.

It would ideally be a bundle for home and auto (2 cars) as I historically got good deals on all until now. I’m willing to separate the two if I find a place that’s much cheaper for home insurance for example.

Hi everyone,

I’m a second-year Medical Laboratory Science student at Conestoga College, and I’m currently in the process of selecting my hospital preferences for clinical placement.

I’m trying to make a well-informed decision, and my main priority is choosing a placement site with the strongest hiring potential after graduation, along with a good learning experience.

The sites I’m currently considering are:
UHN
Trillium Health Partners
William Osler Health System
Humber River Health
Halton Healthcare (Oakville)
Joseph Brant Hospital

If you’re a current student doing placement, I’d really appreciate your insight on which sites had the best learning experience, where students tend to get hired after placement, any hospitals you would recommend avoiding or prioritizing, and any personal experience from Conestoga MLS placements.

Even a short opinion would really help me out.

Thanks in advance!
