Should I drop out of double degree?

Just need some advice pls 😭

for context: I'm currently in cs/bba, I'm laurier based so if I stay in dd I will have to use Laurier's coop platform (navigator), but I got decent grades in first year so I have been told when I discussed with math coop that if I transfer to just CS I can get waterloo coop.

I'm hoping to pursue more cs like swe type of jobs, but might consider product management, and obviously waterloo works is supposed to be way better than navigator for tech jobs. But I've heard that recently waterloo works has been kind of bad too and most people just end up finding jobs externally anyways, so I don't know if waterloo coop is worth dropping out of the double degree.

I definitely like the cs side more than the bba, but I don't hate bba either, and I actually find being apart of both schools kind of fun & love the dd community. I feel like just CS is kinda plain so I don't know.

Laurier BBA

Hi, so I’ve been accepted into the Laurier BBA program but have a quick question. When they calculate my final top 6 average, will they use m the average mark for a repeated course that is a prerequisite? Like in sem 1 I took ENG4U and did not have a good mark and retook it in sem 2. Will they take the average of the two attempts when calculating my final? I know when they calculated to give me an admission, it was the average but i just want to know if it’s different for the final calculation.

How much to live comfortably?

Hello all, I’m looking to move to Kitchener/Waterloo area. What is a salary range to live comfortably? When I say comfortable, I’m talking about like eating out occasionally, activities here and there, and traveling. Not a big day to day spender but also don’t want to be living paycheck to paycheck. I do enjoy eating out pretty often however. Is $80k a year a decent salary to live on? I have a car and it’s fully paid off. No other debts really.

Can I transfer from Env Engg to Mechatronics after first year?

Mechatronics was my first choice but i got an offer for my alt major. Looked into it a bit and on the website they said it's pretty normal to transfer into another major after first year, but I'm assuming it's crazy competitive for mechatronics especially. Not sure how it works, wrt credits and stuff tho, so any advice would be helpful! :)

J1 Visa Processing Delay for Amazon Applied Scientist Intern Role

Hi all,
I’m an international student in Canada (not a Canadian citizen) and recently accepted an Applied Scientist Intern offer from Amazon California. The offer mentions they sponsor J1 visas for this role, and my background check is complete. However, I haven’t been contacted about the visa process, and my start date is late July. I emailed Candidate Services but got no response.

A few questions:

  • Is this delay normal?
  • Will Amazon contact me to initiate the J1 visa process, or do I have to start it myself?
  • Is it too late to get the J1 by the end of July?

Would really appreciate any insight from others who’ve gone through this!

Train won’t stop honking

I’m assuming it’s not good thing. The train behind my house that is moving so slow keeps honking like non stop. Before it was like 5 minutes in between but I can hear it from far away and it’s just honking for dear life. I hope everything’s okay but it’s so loud. This is in Kitchener via train railroad I’m not sure if anyone else could hear it.

Laurier bba + Waterloo math

Just got into this program today and was hoping for some insights.

• Pros/cons of the program? • Can you pick a major like one of the 14 options for the regular bmath program? • how hard is first year? • how's the Waterloo math community? • Is this program worth it in general for business? • is it better/worse/equal to the Laurier bba+finmath and utsc management double degree?

Btw I'm looking to either go into finance or consulting.

Thank youuuu for any info 🫶

Is taking the Core Science offer worth it?

I want to do something pre-med meaning a high GPA needs to be obtainable, but from the research I've done, getting into Kinesiology or Health Sci from Core Sci seems to be more difficult than it's worth. If I take the Core Sci offer, am I likely to actually get into another program though, assuming my grades meet the requirements? I've been looking at the BA Geography or BA Biology as they seem to be more reasonable goals to achieve than Kin or Health Sci, or even the BSc Bio, but does anyone know how many people actually get to transfer out from Core Sci? There doesn't seem to be numbers for it online anywhere.

Bridgeport Road

Where do I start? Bridgeport in front of the Walmart I was passed by two cars racing, one on either side of me, going at least 110 km/h in a 50. They almost ran into the car in front of me that was driving in the dark with no lights on. Then they both changed lanes at the same time and almost ran into each other. Then they almost ran over two jaywalking pedestrians that weren't crossing fast enough to get out of their way. Later I got to the LRT crossing at Caroline/Erb. There was a line of cars waiting for the LRT in the right turning lane. That one lane is more than two car widths wide, so a whole bunch of cars started passing the line of cars on the right within the same lane, like pretending the one lane was really two lanes. They pulled up to the front where the lane narrows and forced themselves in. "Zipper merge!!!"

Does anyone know how to sign into LORIS to see their grades? I go to the login page and I get to the Authenticator app part. This could be a common or simple question however I would like to login to my account to see my grades and options for registration and such. They asked to enter the code on my Microsoft Authenticator app and nothing appears on the app. Could anyone help on this? The Microsoft support didn’t really help. Just thought I would ask here before giving them a call in the technical department. I could also post a screenshot.

Asking US embassy for same-day passport return with J1 visa stamp based on internship timeline (non co-op intl student)

so initially my internship started on may 5th but due to the visa appointment date, i asked my manager to push the start date to may 19th and he was chill with it. My visa appt is on may 15th and my main concern rn is whether i can get the visa stamp on the same day. Can I convince the US embassy for such request given that my internship start date is literally in 4 days from the appointment date as it's stated in my DS7002 training plan and DS2019? I'm just hella worried since idk if I can request another later internship start date from my manager if there's any delays in the visa stamping process.

advice from anyone that went through the same process'd be rlly helpful. thanks!
