I plan on taking weaccelerate this spring term since I couldnt find a coop and my parents wanted to visit family and travel around asia. I was wondering if its manageable time-wise since I still wanna be able to go out everyday. Just wondering how long I would need to set aside each day, and would the time difference affect it? Im doing the microsoft azure stream.

Thanks!

currently choosing between uw syde or queens commerce + cs. ik the pathways are very different but one of my interests is product management, hence syde. if i were to do syde, i'd def lean into swe bcs i hate anything hardware related. however, my main concern is that i'm not passionate enough abt swe (i've never rlly felt compelled to learn coding by myself, and whenever i try i'm not motivated enough to finish) and it seems like everyone in syde is very motivated in their respective interests. obviously, if i were paying tuition, i'd be forced to learn, but idk if that's the most efficient manner. has anyone else been in a similar spot as me? dyg think i can succeed and do well in syde even though coding might not be my thing?

another main reason why i'm leaning towards syde is bcs i can always do an mba in the future, but can't really pursue engineering with a commerce + cs degree.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working hard trying to build up a little interior car detailing hustle. I don’t have a fancy shop or a team, it’s just me doing clean, careful work because I actually care about how your car turns out.

Right now I’m offering full interior details for $50 flat, any vehicle. I shampoo seats, clean stains, extract carpets, get rid of pet hair, and leave everything looking and smelling fresh. I take my time on every car like it’s my own. No shortcuts, no rush jobs.

I’m doing this to get experience and build up trust, so if your car needs some attention inside I’d really appreciate the support.

Mobile or dropoff available. Just shoot me a message if you’re interested or want to see some work I’ve done.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Im having trouble deciding which uni program I want to take for next year.

For reference, I’m most interested in business oriented tech roles (ie pm, consulting, or maybe even swe itself). I’ve gotten into Waterloo Management Engineering and Waterloo CS/Laurier BBA (Laurier Side) which are both great programs for said careers. Between the two, I don’t know which to pick as they both lead to those careers, but they each have their own pros and cons.

Management Engineering has the Waterloo coop portal, and is also said to be an easier program than csbba which gives u more time to job hunt and develop your resume.

Alternately, csbba seems to be a stronger program as it directly teaches you software and business.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

TLDR: UW Management Engineering vs UW CS + WLU BBA (Laurier side )

Does anyone have a parking pass at any of the 4 buildings? Need it for the summer.

If my program has 2 possible streams, for what length should I apply for OSAP (just 1A or 1A + 1B)? I need to apply by june 15th, should I just apply for 1A + 1B since I plan to request for stream 8?

I didnt make the transfer after 1B from math to cs, what courseload should I take in 2A to try and transfer again after that term? i.e. what year 2 CS course mark do they use to determine transfers?

Holy shit! Why are apartments like this. Nobody knows how to make a good listing or is skeevy as hell.

I'm first year, looking for an apartment. I would prefer a one bed one bath - the dingier the better - but I don't really care. Apartment searching is made especially difficult by wading through the knee high shit that is summer sublets.

Does anyone know of a good, reputable place that I can find an apartment? Is anyone looking for a roommate? I don't want this to turn into an ad for me, but I'm neat, organized, respective and responsible. If anyone can help me with advice, one half of the rent in a two bedroom, or anything else, that would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you so much!

1B engineering student. My first co op was in the automotive industry and I worked in the quality department. I just got an interview for a position for the next co op term. Its in the quality department, again, in the automotive industry.

I dont want to speak too soon, but if I were to get that position, at what point does it become too late to switch career paths for a co op? I dont want to be locked into this industry, but I also recognize that all my work experience and design team experience relates to it.

Hey, I found someone's lanyard with a ton of keys and no name or anything to help me find who's it was. If this is yours, please contact me ASAP. Dm me.

I’m probably accepting my offer for the Laurier BBA and BMath at University of Waterloo Double Degree is it a good program?

Anyone remember back in 2016 when they unearthed the remains of an old corduroy road in Uptown Waterloo?

Well they gave away a bunch of those wooden logs after it was all said and done. I have one and it’s been in the garage for almost 10 years. I don’t know what the hell to do with it….

Suggestions?

Did anyone get interview offers for cs/ds co-op primary round yet? they said interviews are from may 22-28 and i applied to like 80 jobs with perfect gpa but got no offers.

I’m taking STAT 333 right now and honestly, I’m really struggling to understand stochastic processes. It’s not that the professor isn’t good—He explain things clearly—but the material is just challenging. I’ve gone through the textbook and lecture notes multiple times, and I still can’t make sense of Poisson processes and shit, and all the other topics.

If you’ve been through this course or a similar one, could you share any resources that helped you? Things like YouTube playlists, blog posts, alternative textbooks, or step-by-step solution videos would be great.

Aerial proposal by someone at Waterloo park. Come on Charlie, say yes my man.

Im thinking of choosing Laurier’s BBA & BA dual degree and had some questions could someone who is knowledgeable please shoot me a private message please 🙏🙏🙏

There was a guy on the ion asking people for money to stay at a motel. Now, by looks, he was student, and didn't really look like someone who was out of money (i mean, he had headphones and branded shoes on). Now, I refused to help him, as I had heard about cases like this before where people were scammed. But again, did I really do the right thing?

I am a high school senior who is almost deciding to commit to UWaterloo to CS. The only thing that is holding me back is the fact that Waterloo does not use GPA.

I’ve looked through the class profiles and found out that students rarely get a 93+ (what usually counts for a 4.0 in the US) average (and you gotta consider selection bias), wouldn’t this make Waterloo students to be in a very disadvantaged state when applying to grad school? Most other Canadian universities that have a similarly bad grade distribution usually converts a 85 to an A. Why does Waterloo not do the same?

I get the fact that only using GPA is kinda unfair for some students because a single low mark would tank their GPA. Nevertheless, Waterloo could have at least reported both cavg and cgpa on the transcript or provide an official GPA conversion scale (that is sent along by a counselor/academic advisor) to schools outside of Canada? Wouldn’t such measures help students greatly in grad school applications and make it less cutthroat?

So my coworker got a kitten just over a year ago now and at first said he was going to wait to get her spayed until he saved up enough money, but he never tried saving any money for it and insisted on having her be a mostly outdoor cat. She comes in for food and water but then goes right back out. I told him it was irresponsible to do this period but especially since she’s not spayed.

She got pregnant and had a litter of 5 kittens, she still goes outside at night but then is in with the kittens during the day. The kittens are now 6-8 weeks and he posted them online for $50 each. He’s now saying he wants to start breeding her and using her as a “cash cat”. The humane society reached out to him saying they’d take the kittens and get them all their shots and get them spayed & neutered but he turned them down as some of his potential buyers want to breed them and he wants to make money off of them.

I was absolutely disgusted when he told me this and I don’t know what to do or what I can do about this, I’ve tried looking up bylaws but I can’t find much information.

What should/can I do?

Im trying to figure out if I want a single room or stay in an apartment style for first year at laurier. Does anyone have suggestions for which one is better?

Trying to go into S&T or acs sci related jobs, I haven’t actually finished the exams.

Hello,

I'm looking for an easy out and back paddle of the Grand River (say 8-10km in total), any suggests about which section would have the most chance of seeing wild life?

We are moving to Guelph, and have a 10 year old who is passionate about figure skating. He is very dedicated and loves it, and has made a lot of progress in the two years he's been skating. We are trying to understand more about the culture of the different skating clubs in the area. Guelph Figure Skating Club looks less formal and intense, and K-W looks incredibly competitive and intense. I am also concerned by the google reviews, although those are mostly of the beginner/learn to skate classes. My son has high aspirations but most of all we don't want to crush his love for the sport. Is there anyone who could share their experiences with one or both of these organizations?

I recently received an acceptance to the Nanotechnology Engineering Program at Waterloo. This was an alternative choice, I initially applied to Chemical Engineering. I really want to go to Waterloo and in the same time I really want to go into Chemical Engineering. How easy is it to switch programs at waterloo in/after first year?

I’m so confused :(

Ik its a rite of passage for ppl to complain abt job market compared to a previous term but rn isnt that true? It feels worse than in 2024. I might just be tweaking idk.

We are evaluating offer for the Laurier double degree with waterloo cs. I have Toronto CS for Scarborough campus Options also , but just trying to figure out which one is better.

Can you advise which will be better and the reasons. looking advise for Co-op , Academics & recognition in Canada and US

Filming in downtown Galt this evening. Apparently it’s a show called The terminal list. Maybe avoid main st and water st (lots of traffic backlog). We also saw a truck hosing down the street.

I was rejected from Ivey AEO + waitlisted from BMOS. I was offered Laurier BBA as well. My goal is to get into marketing/advertising (obviously aiming to make the highest income possible). Ivey would’ve been a great opportunity but I can apply later on from Western or Laurier (it’ll just be harder). Laurier’s co-op is great and I can try for Ivey non-aeo but it’ll be almost impossible from what I hear.

What do I do considering both options and my career choice?

I’m so stupid. I just received the email from the coop advisor that said since I didn’t submit the extended work permit on WW, my work term is no longer eligible and credit will be removed. However I do have my extended work permit on hand and sent to the company HR as well. I just submitted the form on WW does anyone know will I still be removed from work term?? 😭😭

how similar to labs and assignments are the midterm and final for cp264?

Hello, I was just curious had anyone ever been deferred and then offered the program in June?

Currently in gr 12 and I’m like 99% sure I’m gonna accept my offer to laurier hs but I had some last minute questions

I want to do some sort of grad school after Uni and was wondering if there’s any research opportunities at laurier health sci cuz I’ll need it for med/dental, etc.

I’ve seen people say there both is AND isn’t much opportunity but idk which feedback is accurate

I’ve seen someone say in terms of very specific areas of research there might not be much but tbh I don’t care for that, I really just want to know if there’s any opportunity at all and weather it’s easy or difficult/competitive for research opportunities to come by? On the schools website certain profs indicated they’re open to working w students but is it actually accurate?

Can someone lmk if they know someone or themselves have had research opportunities?

Can anyone suggest some good spots nearby where I can go for a hike or track,and if anyone wanna have interest in joining let me know

I heard that Laurier is better than Schulich for finance but is there a specific reason for this? I know that they have offshore coops that makes it so you dont have to compete for a palcement against Ivey Queens and Schulich students but how do these coop placements actually compare against good coops from these top business schools for example is a coop you’d get at Schulich better, worse or the same level as these offshore Laurier coops? (Finance/Wealth management based). And if you think Schulich is better for finance can you give some reasons as to why?

hey gang!

In April I was TWEAKING thinking I couldn’t pass my exams, so I requested to swap my English program to communications cuz I thought I was cooked and would have to swap anyways.

Turns out I didn’t have to… I got all the marks I needed and I’m fine. They already accepted my program swap… erm!!!!

Do yall think I should just do both English and communications classes starting sept 2025, or do I request to swap back…

Thank you!!!! 👅
