anyone got conrad hall? I'm in A wing

Hello,

I would like to get a furnace inspection completed. It is an American Standard model. Do you know of a reliable place from KW to do this? It's for a warranty check-up.

TIA

One of my profs said for next week:

Tues -> Original Monday's schedule

Wed-> Original Tues Schedule

Thurs -> Original Wed schedule

Can anyone confirm this?

Holy crap, as someone who moved from Markham, I can't seem to find any normal parks with open air trails.

All trails in this city are narrow and freaking surrounded very closely with wild trees, plants, shrubs, bushes. Have been bitten here by bugs, moths, mosquitos, you name it.

In Markham , there are no bugs when you go out for a walk as all trails and trees/bushes are a bit further away from the trails.

​

Are there any such parks in Cambridge, ON?

Was curious what the overall consensus was regarding writing (and submitting) cover letters to job applications. Does it depend on your field - i.e. CS/SE v.s. traditional Engineering (ME/EE) v.s Business/Consulting roles?

Does anyone have a copy of the PS101 course outline or where to find it? I emailed 1 of the Profs but I didn’t get a response yet. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I was looking forward to going on campus this fall and I put "CS 246 blended" as my #1 priority when making course selections. I know that putting it as #1 choice does not guarantee that I will make it to course. However, I spoke to several people and they also didn't get the blended section they wanted. I know that blended is still possible for other courses that I didn't go to.

​

Is there a way to confirm whether they removed blended or they did not and I just happened to not be selected into the section?

Thanks.

Hello, has anyone ever leased at 392 Albert with Waterloo Premium Property Management? If so, could you place share your experience: how was the place for you, and how was the property management?

Thanks

How doable is this? I've heard that the course can be pretty time-consuming.

Hey does anyone in Village 1 enjoy these?

I have applied for MMath Computer Science for Jan 2022.

I still haven't received a reply from the university and it has been over 12 weeks!
Has anyone received it yet?

Been looking for a lease for weeks now. Most apartments dont even reply. Is there so much demand or what is going on?

First of all, I'm sorry if this has been posted a million times. My fiance and I are looking at moving to the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge area late this year or early next year. We currently rent near Toronto and need to move out of the city to have a chance at affording a permanent place to live.

I have only been to Waterloo once or twice, but with our lines of work (mostly tech), the area seems like a great place to have a career and start a family.

Are there any decent neighborhoods where we can find a place under $600k? (Cue the tears). We don't need much, maybe a 2-3 bedroom townhouse with something of a yard for our small dog. Any areas I should keep an eye out for or any areas to avoid?

Also, we plan on making a trip to the city in September or so. If you have any recommendations of places to check out and help us fall in love with the city, it would be much appreciated!! Thank you!

I took French all throughout high school (which I enjoyed) and am looking for a course that I both like and will be easy to excel in. Is FR 192a a good option for me? What are the assignments/midterm/exams like?

Also, how are french courses online and asynchronous? I get that you can't just break easily into discussion groups, but is it practicing conversations that difficult? Also, is there any way around the outrageous $180 textbook fees? A broke bitch needs tips

Why do you want to come to Hack the North?

As a software engineering student at the University of Waterloo, I always get asked what I made at Hack the North in the months (sometimes even up to 12 or 13 months) after Hack the North. Unfortunately, I have gotten rejected from Hack the North every time for the past 4 years. Thus, these questions have made me incredibly sad and I hope that I get to experience the feeling of conforming to social expectations of a software engineering student at some point before my graduation in 2 years.

Please help updoot this for internet clout so that the people organizing Hack the North see and accept my application. Thank you <3

Hi! I’m a first year student who opted to stay at home for the fall 2021 term (since all my classes are online) but I plan on moving to Waterloo for the winter term. Is anyone else planning to do the same, and how hard will it be for me to find a place to live in the winter?

Hey all,

I'm looking to throw a very small 6-8 person baby shower, something non-traditional, but relaxing for the mom to be.

I was hoping to do an afternoon tea type deal but Langdon Hall doesn't offer it currently and Queen of Hearts doesn't have availability. Any recommendations in that sense are welcomed.

Any other thoughts on a small venue, spa recommendations we can use as a group for a shower celebration?

Anyone know what are some good buildings for a studio or 1 bed near the school?

I moved to the area from Toronto and there it’s pretty common to see interlock driveways. But they don’t seem to be the trend here. Anyone knows why they’re not common in Waterloo?

I just got accepted to the 260 Regina St residence with a friend and we are trying to figure out what our ensuite room will look like, how much desk space there is and overall how big it is. If anyone has pictures or info they can give it would be much appreciated! (Also the main part of the apartment if possible)

I'm looking for the best wings in Kitchener. What's your favourite?

Hi everyone!

I just moved to off campus housing ( new intl student) and coming here has been kinda hard. I haven't met many people and I'm kinda lonely. The campus seems boring and a ghost town. Where is everyone? Looking for friends!

I'm a girl btw, and looking for study buddies, or friends to hang out with. I enjoy adventures and going on long walks..

​

As per the title. There was the big billboard at the corner where the highway gets off on fairway road, and they took that down. That had the big picture with the part of the mall being a few a few stories high and having condos and office space and stuff. Did all that get cancelled? Like it looks pretty well almost done now, did they really just revamp it for just more regular stores?

Not a complicated situation, but I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Hi all, cs student on my first work term here, just wanted to ask upper years if second coop would be easier to get by a lot compared to first coop? Because getting first coop was hard AF for me, I spent so much time, applied to 200+ positions, got 5 interviews, 1 rank and no match over all the cycles. Honestly didn’t expect it to be this hard to find a job. In the very end I managed to get a QA job at a small company through family connections. The job’s okay, nothing amazing but I imagine it hits average, and my supervisor already promised me nothing lower than an Excellent on my evaluation. Can someone tell me if I can expect an easier time this coming job search term? I feel like it should, but then there are way too many talented and skilled people in cs. I would rather die than go through all I went through last time again. I almost failed 3 classes last job search because of the effort I spent.

hey guys any thoughts on macdonald house? is anyone assigned to that building?

Anyone know where to get the huge appliance cardboard boxes? We want to make a “drive in” for our little toddler and make a car out of boxes.

Thanks!

Curious to know if people had any positive experiences with their part time jobs? Did it help you meet new people and were you guys close to any of your coworkers?

Hey, I’m thinking about leasing a place at 275 Larch St and I wanted to hear about other experiences. If you ever lived/been there please let me know your thoughts. Thanks :)

Just got assigned to king street res, 7th floor. Anyone else on the same floor?

Anyone else find it literally impossible? I left many parts blank. For this test, it wasn't even an issue with the 1hr time limit. Those questions were like medium level questions on assignments.

The fact that the profs do them each in 10 min blows my mind.

I was accepted here for residence and just wanted to know how it's like there. Some specific questions I had in mind were room and apartment layout and size, available facilities, distance from WLU and UW, and how is the internet there. Also wanted to know of there was a way to get in touch with people staying there and getting to know my roommates.

Hear me out for a second. It could have filters like undergrad vs grad vs alum, program, interests, self-rated level of introvertedness, and plenty of pre-suggested convo starters since we’re not the most social group of people… I think a little action would vastly improve the mood of this subreddit 🤭

Hi, i submitted my OSAP signature/parent signature/MSFAA on june 29 and the parent signature/MSFAA got approved right away but my signature is still under review. The website said wait 2-3 weeks for review but its been a month, should I be concerned/what should I do? I am an incoming first year if that helps.

Any of the local places sell unroasted bean ? even better would be ability to buy a 5-10lb with a better price point than by the pound

Hey folks,

I moved to Kitchener from Toronto in December last year. Since then, I see endless construction work at Fischer Hallman and Bleams. I know about the roadwork that's been going on, but I was curious to know what is been built on both sides of Fischer Hallman?

I’m a university student taking summer courses and can’t study at home. I don’t want to burden anywhere by staying too long at their establishments and taking up a seat & outlet, so I’m hoping to find a coffee shop, fast food restaurant, or other place that would be okay with me being there for multiple hours a couple times a week (sometimes once but 2-3 times more likely).

Any ideas? Preferably in Galt but I’m at my wit’s end here and willing to go outside of Galt if need be. I just need a public space with background noise and a table and outlet to use. Also happy to share the table with any other students!

Tried the Timmie’s at 235 Franklin Blvd today but their wifi wasn’t working.

If you are reading this rn, you know who u are

Any idea who I can get to fix this. I've called two flooring places and no one has gotten back to me.

I have an large indoor space with laminate flooring. The boards have come apart slightly length wise. I'm not talking about end to end, but for the length of about 1.5 meters there is a gap between the floor of about 0.5cm. This floor is used for dancing and needs to be flat. :p

Here is a close up for the gap.

Where can I get the view in town? If not possible to see from KW, please recommend a location within 30min drive 😂😂

If you've taken MATH 239 (online), how'd you find the Final Exam's difficulty in comparison to the rest of the course?

I was wondering if people who have had coops abroad (preferably in europe) could share their experience.
I have always wanted to do a coop in germany as my last coop (Spring 2022) and wanted to know tips/tricks related to finding a coop abroad. I have done a minor in german and im really interested in learning the language completely by going there.

I am already kinda aware that europe coops pay like trash, im more looking for ways to find abroad coops

I was assigned bricker res. I had a roommate group with another girl friend of mine and I found out in a group chat that one of my roommates is a boy and assuming the fourth one is too. Could this be an error? I said I did not want to room with boys… I need to switch if so.
