Open network tab -> right click .pdf file -> open in new tab -> download. They're trying to rip off broke college students in this economy. $21, seriously?

Hi there!
I'll be starting my 1A term at UW this fall as a CS major. I need a little help choosing non-math electives. I'm thinking of PHYS 121, PHIL 145, or ECON 101. I've practically no idea about philosophy or economics, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up, but I've done Physics quite a bit in high school.

I like mechanics as such, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the load with the CS + Math courses. Can you guys please advise? Thank you.

All the other fine shyts are scared of me.

No one talks to me.

No one wants to be my huzz, they think I have no aura...

I hop from cafe to cafe ordering matcha lattes in their name..

And as I get better at it...they fear me more and more.

I am a victim of my own height.

Performative male. I don't even get a real name. Only a purpose.

I am capable of so much more and no one sees it.

Some days I feel so chopped I could cry but I don't. I never do.

Because what would be the point? Not a single profile on all of Hinge would let me crack...

Take it to your midterm.

Totally random I know lol but my partner and I couldn’t help but notice an abundance of Teslas since Trump and Elon’s break-up. Went for a drive today and passed literally 17 Teslas in a ten minute span. Are they on sale? Or just more accepted now that Elon has separated himself from the orange man?

Hey guys, Im going into science and aviation at uwaterloo this coming fall, and would appreciate some advice on which science courses I should take. I took chemistry and biology in grade 12, however I heard that BIOL130 is hard and there is only one prof who teaches it. I am planning to take CHEM120, and not sure if I should pick BIOL130+BIOL 130L, or EARTH121. I heard that earth sciences is pretty chill but I dropped ses4u a week into my grade 12 semester because I did not think I would enjoy it. Does anyone know what content will be learned and how I should narrow down my choices? As well, is there any profs that I should avoid or try to take their classes for? All advice are appreciated!

I don't need to be bombarded with sales when I'm just there to get gas.

Specifically the river and Ottawa one.

Please and thanks.

Hello 👋,

I had signed up to volunteer for orientation with the science faculty and got accepted for an interview.

What I'm writing to ask is if anyone has done the ALR interview in years before and how it was like (such as questions they asked and stuff)? I applied for all 3 roles but am most interested in the Team Captain position. If possible, please share any tips for the interview, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time :) .

Is it possible to do 2 CS courses as math major in 1A term? Am I able to choose an additional CS course as the elective on top of the required one? If so is it worth it? Which course has the most benefits? Any help and info is appreciated, thanks.

Incoming first year student going for science can anyone tell me what are the chances of me getting my first residence choice- MKV 😁

(Apologies if this is a obvious question)

But, in the master of engineering at uwaterloo, is it as helpful and meaningful as undergrad at uwaterloo for engineering. I see that students in undergrad, all find jobs/coops very easily, is this also the case with a masters from transferring from another ontario university.

Additionally, is it as hard to get into as Mechanical engineering undergrad, like what should I do to ensure I get in (ex. side projects, work experience)

Thanks!

For CS specifically

Hey guys, I got accepted into Laurier and hopefully will be attending in the fall. I’m having trouble logging into my account and doing 2fa because my old phone number is not accessible anymore. Does anyone know how I could possibly fix this issue? I’ve already emailed and tried calling multiple numbers to no avail.

Hi, i live in a complex/condo manged by sanderson. When i first moved in about 3 years ago the condo fees were about 400 including water, complex maintnece,landscaping and the water bill about a year ago they made it 450 and took out the water from it (450 for maintenence and landscaping only) then somtime early this year they upped it again, and made it 500 dollars also only for maintence and landscaping /snow removal. The problem is they never so the landscaping right and always skip my house (as well as others) especially if im not home, the snow removal is basically nothing ( they only do the main road and leave all the snow in the front of the house, and for maintenence i called them for a pest issue (saw mice outside) they said they will send somone they never did, called them again said they were gonna send somone they never did, i have a bump in my driveway thats huge and i called them said they were gonna fix it, never did, called them about landcaping said they were gonna send somone and they never did.

Im just tired of paying 515 (if not more) for littlerly nothing and thats not mentioning all the "one time"bills of 50 bucks, 100 dollars, 200 dollars becuse they have a "deficit"

Wondering if i could littlerly do anything about this.

so I applied for upper year housing for fall 2025 a few weeks ago - does anyone know by when I’ll hear back of if I got rejected or if they have space?

does anyone have a copy of their 1A schedule?

can anyone who did the program post their 1A schedule, im very curious to know what my schedule might look like!

My dogs got an into a bunny nest in my backyard, managed to save one little one. Animal shelters aren’t taking rabbits this time of year, seeing if there is anyone one experienced and wants one. Not a baby but still young, like palm sized. It was able to run across my back yard, so might eat on its own.

Who owns this thing? It looks like it's missing several sheet metal pieces, the metal structural components are rusted, and advertising stuff is there that leads to a website saying it was for some event 3 months ago. I'm surprised it hasn't been disposed of yet

I've taken french since grade school and have the first year french courses waived. Are my electives good options? Am I going to have trouble getting to classes with such little gaps? I really don't like having awkward hours between classes as I know I won't do anything so I would prefer to just do two hours of class.

Keeping up some hope that the Apollo will diversify its screenings, just wondering if the switch is working out for them or not? Please keep the racist comments to a zero!

Edit: I'd be especially interested to hear from anyone who has gone in the past 1-2 months!

Is there any exception or ability for undergrad students to make requests to the university regarding keeping the original storage limits for OneDrive? I download pretty large shapefiles off LEARN for labs, and OneDrive is the main way I work on assignments between my Mac and the PCs in the computers in lab. I also used to work for the university, and I am debating returning to the position for another two terms – the position being through campus housing. Is it just worth it to invest in a hard drive? I'm not even sure why they're enforcing the new limits on storage :(

First-year BBA student here (sorta international, been in NB less than a year). Should I choose electives based on current interests or go for GPA boosters?

I’m looking at PS101, FR101, and EN111 right now. Kinda into law/policy stuff long-term but not sure if I should just aim for easy A’s first. Any advice from people who’ve taken these or been in a similar spot?

Ranking the residences, I know that the bathrooms aren’t fully “shared” there’s curtains or what not. But I still want the bathroom to feel “normal” not like a shared gym locker. If all I cared about was bathrooms. What should be at the top of my list.

I’m a big street fighter guy and I was curious if any local tournaments are run in town.

Anyone know how the kayaking conditions are on the Nith River this season? Thinking of doing New Hamburg to Wellesley. Is it pretty calm all the way up? Any shallow sections? Thanks 🙏🏽

Moving to the kw area soon, looking for recommendations of gym with good group exercise classes, preferably below 80 a month. Thanks!!

I'm in Huron area and I lose water pressure for 2-3 minutes, not every day but fairly often, at least weekly. Always comes back on after a bit with no intervention on my part but just wondering if others are experiencing the same.

Does anyone know any interesting job opportunities/ideas? I have a gap between undergrad and post grad and I need to make money but I also want to have a new experience. I was thinking something outside of Ontario...and i'm down to do something random like work at a hotel or herd cattle idc, I've just been in waterloo too long

Just wondering if they'd allow me to rent/buy a car with an ontario driver's license in California. I've been seeing a lot of conflicting info online. For context, I have a G2.

So I have a rez contract for fall and then spring.

I really want to do just a four month contract, but they said that I'd have to find someone to take my spot for the winter.

Im living at one of the university colleges, so would it be difficult to "sublet" my spot during the winter term?

Looking for contractor/company recommendations for a basic replacement of three steps up to a porch with a railing, and redoing the handful of walkway pavers leading up to it.

Or, companies to avoid.

Andrew Haick at Billiards Group is one of the rudest and unprofessional individual we have ever dealt with.

For one, he hardly responds to our emails and seldom picks the call. And then he disconnects our call mid-conversation without having the courtesy to explain things. One could imagine being busy but its a consistent behavior on his part.

We asked to cancel our policy well in advance, at the date of renewal. We were told that won't be possible unless we call 1 month before. More over they say if we cancel our policy mid way, we will need to pay a full month amount towards penalty. Is that right? I never had that issue with any other provider.

With Billiards (Aviva) I had issues before and due to unfortunate circumstances I had to sign up with them again. Never ever.

Overall their ratings seem good but avoid this guy at all costs.

If you have other opinions, sure good for you. I am sharing my, my friends, my colleagues side of the story.

right now i'm looking at taking a westjet plane from yyc straight to ykf, but not sure if it's the best way - also, how do people get between ykf and the university? assuming uber but wondering if there's like some designated shuttle

I hope I’m not alone in my experience, but since moving to Kitchener I’ve had the most empty-headed delivery drivers leaving packages outside of my apartment building on the busy street. I always contact support and get a refund after my package gets stolen, but it has happened twice now, and I can’t fathom how someone can rationalize leaving a new package outside on the street.

Does anyone have similar experience?

Just a quick heads up - I got a phone call from Aire One (both the call display, and the caller identified themselves as from there) trying to schedule some sort of annual service. Interestingly, the call came up as potential spam. I answered mostly out of curiousity.

The caller asked for me by my first name, and went right into a fast pitch for "my" annual inspection / service / whatever. I had to politely (but somewhat aggressively) cut them off to tell them that I don't have any work with Aire One, and then hung up.

Note that I have never had any service from Aire One whatsoever. I think I once got a price quote from them - but definitely never bought from them, and no tech of theirs has ever done any service work for me.

I just wanted to give a bit of a warning - knowing how people have had issues with them, this hard sell annual service seemed improper, and bordering on predatory.

Exit any corner flight of stairs in MC and I swear there’s always a urinal washroom. C&D, washroom, and then show up to cs136 30 mins in. Life is good

Was thinking of buying and moving here, but being single at 24, everyone says to stay in Toronto. Please tell me if I'm setting myself up for failure, romantically and socially.

Hi everyone,

I lost a ring that means a lot to me, and I’m hoping someone might have seen it.

Last seen: Thursday in my lab in ESC. I’ve already checked all the classrooms I was in that day and spoken to my professors. I’ve also contacted UW Campus Police and SLC Turnkey, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been turned in.

Description: It looks like the one in the attached photo, but with a yellow stone. It’s not expensive, but it’s very meaningful to me.

I know it’s a long shot, but if you happen to come across it, please message me. I’d be incredibly grateful!

Thank you so much.

Hi,

I am looking to get air conditioning since my old One is not working. Got inspected by reliance, they said to get it replaced Filled in gas suggested by local technician and he charged 350$, did not work. He is suggesting to replace now.

What would be my next options

1. Try to get it fixed with another technician
2. Get it replaced?

Please suggest the best company in KW to get it replaced.

Still not convinced between renting or owning

Hi! If you took bus 19 headed to University of Waterloo around 10pm on Monday June 16 and lost your cap, I gave it to the driver.

Is it worth it to get the parking pass in Brantford (it’s $400)? I did my undergrad in Waterloo and never got it but honestly think it would’ve been worth it because of how horrible the parking is there. Now I’m doing my BEd in Brantford this fall (commuting) and wondering if it’s worth it for that campus. I’m also trying to take into consideration the fact that I’ll probably be doing my placements elsewhere and won’t be using the parking pass on those days. Any thoughts or advice? TIA!
