What the hell

Hey all, I just got my acceptance to MSW for this Fall, Fulltime on campus. I am wondering about the class schedules, if anyone has experience with this. I would be planning on commutting as I am living in London currently. If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated.

how do you do the question where you have to find the eigenvalues and P and D, but no numbers are given for the matrix A? is 1 of the eigenvalues 0? I just realized after I did the exam but I left the question blank fml

I goofed and didn’t find a job for my first work term, I ended up doing WeAccelerate for the credit.

People who couldn’t find a first co-op, do you feel like it greatly affected your job prospects for future terms? I’ve been working on stuff on the side but I understand I’ll be at a disadvantage when looking for my 2nd co-op compared to my peers.

Need to get a massage for my injury, wanna use this insurance plan. How do I do it?

Just noticed blue tint in my bath water. Does anybody know why this could be happening?

Hello everyone!

I have recently been admitted to waterloo for Nanotechnology engineering and I'm very excited about attending the school. However, I've recently been more into Electrical Engineering and it is the program I'd like to switch to. How soon would I be able to do this and is it difficult at all.

Thanks for all of your help :)

how did u guys find that cuz what the heck😭

I might take it to get my physics average up and I am not actually premed.

If I already understand the concepts from other physics classes and don't hate math, would it actually be difficult?

due to a cold I've been battling with this week, has left me unable to write my final exam for MA129. I intend on taking the deferred exam which is the month right after.

How will this affect my progression decision ? It says I have to have the credit by may 1st

I’m looking for recommendations for a hair stylist in KW area that is skilled with extremely thick hair. Every stylist I’ve ever had is shocked and they often they have two people dry my hair after washing. It’s mid-length and naturally just a bit wavy. When booking with someone new I tell them this upfront so they can book me in for longer than normal. I’ve tried several places in KW and Guelph over the last few years and have yet to be truly happy. Does anyone else go through this and have someone they’d recommend?

I've learned a lot about WR politics from Melissa's "Citified" newsletter, and I know someone posted Part 1 of her analysis. Today, she published Part 2:

I lost my watcard one day before my last final. I do have my passport though so can I show that as photo ID or am I cooked?

What was that??!

The man maintained his rep and Dwrecked us all, never seen half the questions and left them all blank, it is so joever

I need to have a 6.0 GPA in one of my required courses. The Laurier website says that a 6.0 is a 67-69. This means I need a 67 or higher to have a 6.0 in this course, right?

Noticed the signs that roadwork is coming to the Trussler Road and Highway 8 area, again. Does anyone know when this is supposed to start? What are they doing? The shutdown last year was super annoying, but seems it's going to be more so if they are shutting down the off ramp from hwy 8. Can't seem to find any info.

Hi! I'm an international student got admitted to EE in UWaterloo. I'm still deciding this or UIUC Industrial Eng. I was wondering what are the social/work life is in UW.

​

Are there many students ended up not getting a job in their co-op term? I've seen only 30% of Electrical are employed somewhere.

​

How many students actually goes to big tech company?

+ which company do ppl usually go?

​

how's the social life in UW? will I be able to make friends or will it just be a study study vibe?

​

For international students, did u had any issues finding co-op bc of ur nationality or identity?

​

Lastly, do u find it happy or regret coming to UW?

​

Any additional information will help my decision tysm!!

Hi everyone. I just wanted some opinions on having assignments graded really late in the course. In one of my classes, the professor has graded two assignments and that's it. There are several journal entries, essays, and other assignments that she has yet to grade or even open as far as I can tell. Are grades not due in like a week? There is also about 50 students (not much compared to other classes) in the class and there is no TA. Thankfully, the quizzes grade themselves or I would have no idea how I am (roughly) doing in the course. When I mentioned this to my dad, he said that it was pretty irresponsible because no one would know how they are doing in the class until it was over. Maybe I am just a naïve first year student, but is it not ridiculous to anyone else?

Money is not an issue.

Im also deciding between minerals engineering and software eng.

My parents want me to take MIT but I told them Waterloo is the MIT of the north and everybody makes 6 figures in their coop.

What should I do?

Does anyone have recommendations for a company to install new eavestrough? I had a door to door salesman give a quote last year and it was some astronomical price like >$10k. I'm in a standard back split 1600sqft home so that seemed really high at the time. Anyone have leads or recommendations? If you do, let me know why you'd recommend them. Thanks!

Stuck here until the very last day April 25th. When do your exams end?

I'm currently enrolled in the Laurier Sussex Political Science (BA) and Law degree (LLB) at Sussex. I would begin my first year of studies next year. However, I have heard from a variety of sources that this program isn't exactly effective to become a Lawyer in Canada. Because of this, I am thinking of switching Majors entirely to a sociology degree at the Waterloo Campus instead before I enroll. Is this possible to do before I arrive in September? Ideally I would like to pursue criminology, however this program is seems to only be available at the Brantford campus which I have heard is not as nice of a campus. Would I have similar job prospects with a sociology degree/is a sociology degree a decent major to pursue? Thanks everyone!

My school's branch of Mu Alpha Theta said they would be organizing the UWaterloo math contests in general, yet when I finally went in for the exam, I saw that the highest level I could take was Fermat. Afterwards I found out that Euclid was almost an entirely separate event, but by then Euclid application deadlines had passed. Any way I could still take it? Spoke to a UWaterloo admissions officer and she said it's crucial if I want a good shot at admision.

Basically the title. I am an international student csbba uw side, if I drop out of DD, I have 2 less study terms and 1 more co-op term, if I add everything together and assume a decent co-op, thats ~100K CAD (Saved + Earned). My family says I don’t need to worry about the money, but of course, it’s difficult not to. Additionally, a big reason for this consideration is the extra co-op, I was wondering if anyone could give some opinions and thoughts about whether or not I should give up bba for an extra co-op. The main motivator for me to have that extra co-op is to have another shot at a good company. I don’t know how wrong or right that thinking is, any help is appreciated. Currently towards the end of my 2nd work term, heading into 2B

I'm an international student at the guelph campus. I started course on September 2023 and I'm currently in my 2nd semester.

I had some family emergency at the start of the semester involving my brother who lives in Toronto so I had to be there with him for the first month this semester and I missed the first assignment of all the courses. So I'm down by 10 or 20% depending on the course. I had my finals this week and it's looking like I'm gonna fail for almost 4 subjects.

So do i have to discontinue my course or can I take the subjects next semester?. and if I can't, can I apply for a change in course?. What will be the effect of this on my study permit?.

Please help me. It's urgent and I don't have anyone to turn to.

Edit: My brother was depressed to the point of self-harm and I tried to help him as much as could. I stayed with him to make sure he doesn't do anything bad but i was not what he needed at the moment and I had to call 911 and after that he was in and out of the hospital and i was put on call by the hospital admin since I am the only family member in canada right now.

I emailed each professors explaining the situation as i was dealing with it but other than a single professor nobody else let me resubmit the assignment. And i had been updating them on the situation with recurring emails.

Most of them told me I had to find time for doing my works and attending the classes as I was dealing with the issue and they couldn't let me resubmit the assignments.

Even after I started going to classes and explained the situation face to face, they didn't give me any leniency. I had no choice in the matter.

My brother was at the hospital for almost a month but we don't have any records for that much time. His insurance had expired and we don't have that much money since i had no job and he was doing part-time. When i told them about this they technically waved off the bill.

They reduced the bill to just 2 days and the bills have only those dates. So I don't have that much paperwork to justify my absences.

I was traumatized by a situation and after solving his issue and me going back, i was depressed and became insomniac. And I also lost my appetite.

I have been going on without food and sleep for 3 or 4 days in a row and this happens once in two weeks. So I've had significant weight loss and been unable to function properly in my daily life for months now. I think i have ulcer too because of starvation.

But i didn't consult any doctor for my issues and have no evidence to back that up too.

This also caused me to lose so many classes because my mind is foggy all the time but i had been following up starting from my 2nd assignment as they come by. But the gap in score was too much for me to bridge.

I have booked an appointment with the student advisor on Tuesday. That was the only date they had.

Only bright side to this semester was that I have some money saved up from not eating properly. Lol

There's a lovely section of track that looks to be nearing completion between Kitchener and Guelph. #TwoWayAllDay might be a reality one day. Keep up the good work crews!

Past ECON 102 online takers, how similar are the quiz to the finals? Can I survive the final just by studying the quiz?

I went through a lot this year and did not do nearly as well as I wanted to, I barely got 60s on most courses and failed one of my required courses. It’s not offered in the spring and am really worried about having to take an extra year or being kicked out of my program. For reference, I am a first year Kin student. I already made an inquiry to talk to my advisor about this but can anyone give me advice in the meantime?

Edit: Looked at advising and I will definitely be kicked out of my program if this is not able to be solved, there is also no way to be brought back into my program. Have an appointment with advising though

Anyone starting studies from may 2024 in reuter drive campus.

Does anyone know how the conditional offer generally works for RPNs? For my conditional offer I need atleast a 75% plus the 10% boost the college gives. Is it 10% to each science course or just 10% on your overall average? What if I have fallen short by a percent, will I still be considered? I am so worried 😬😬 How soon will we be able to hear if we have been accepted into our program for September 2024 intake?

Practice final was ok... but Steve drekic is supposedly notorious for his final exams. Will everything be ok... send help..

Thank you Waterloo and Mr.Goose, my exchange term at UWaterloo has come to an end. Having made some of the best memories of my life, it’s obvious I will miss this place very much. The students here are extremely talented and very bright, and I have so much respect for all of you :). Will love to visit here again.

PS: I worked on a exhibit piece (basically a huge artwork on the experience at UW) it’s pasted on the entrance at REV, please enjoy it when you get a chance to visit.

Anybody lose their keys or have any idea how I could find the owner? Found a set of keys in the grass along a path in Huron natural area today. Cant think of anywhere really obvious to put them for the owner to find either

ECE124's final exam is too hard..... ECE106 is not very hard but also challenging.... I may only get 60 on this two course.

Hello, everyone

I have looked for an improv or theatre group for quite some time now. So far I have found some expensive improv classes around GTA. Maybe I didn't look properly enough. However, a couple of months ago somebody here asked the same question as I once did. So while discussing where to find a group, somebody suggested: "Just form a group of your own". I loved the idea and wanted to do it. However, I was preoccupied and busy for most of my days. Though I did make a discord group at the time.

Cut to now, I have more time now to organize things. So if you are interested in improv or looking for a hobby and want to give improv a try then do comment. All experience is welcome and encouraged.

Thank you. Hardy

Hey there! I'm staying at Valens soon and looking for some gravel riding options, don't really know the area.

Any recommended routes or spots I should hit up riding from the park? Looking to do ~50-60km ideally

We'll be on a fat bike and gravel bike with pretty beefy tires. Would this conservation are be a good choice? Don't want to go on anything muddy.

Appreciate any tips 👍

Has anyone gotten windows from nordik locally? There are some questionable reviews from other places but the deal seems good and we really liked the sales guy!

Thanks

While gas price in Kitchener is in range of 1.75 to 1.8 today, if you looking for cheaper option then look for Shell and Petro Canada. The Shell next to Homer Watson blvd is selling for 1.65 and Petro on Ottawa street is at 1.61.
