i have es110 this upcoming 2026 semester, i have it online but my question is how does it like for the midterm and final, does anyone know?

I am feeling very conflicted and am wondering if anyone can give me some perspective. I am applying to international affairs programs, such as Carleton’s NPSIA MA and UofT’s Munk Global Affairs program. To me, it seems like UWaterloo's Global Governance Master of Arts (MAGG) is roughly equivalent to these programs.

My interest was initially international development, and I wanted to mention this in my applications. I am applying to international affairs programs that have some sort of specializations in international development, rather than programs that focus solely on international development. This is for broader career flexibility, since I was told that int'l development can be difficult to build a career in and I want to keep other options open.

The thing is, for the MAGG, I noticed that unlike Carleton or UofT, there does not seem to be a specific focus on international development within the MA. I am aware UWaterloo offers a separate program, Development Practice Master of Development Practice (MDP).

I wanted to ask how the two programs compare (MGG vs MDP at Waterloo), particularly in terms of career outcomes after graduating, or if anyone has any insight on those programs in general?

It seems from what I could find online, MAGG does not list international development as a research field. I wonder if it is not wise to talk about international development in my application. I am also wondering whether there is any still any connection between international development and MAGG, or if anyone has perspectives on this in general?

i would love to get information on these 3 programs!

1. human rights
   
2. global studies
   
3. policing (combination)

i am thinking of applying to all 3 and want to know whats worthwhile as i plan to go on to law after!

Hello,

I am a neurodivergent 20 year old thinking about moving here. I’ve been looking at different cities and for some reason I keep coming back to this one.

I'm from Thunder Bay and honestly that place failed me hard lol. Not many programs for school, bad autism supports, and the system really just let me fall through the cracks. I'm hoping things are better here because Thunder Bay ain't it.

I'm native and I’ve dealt with a lot of racism back home so I'm kinda curious if theres other native/indigenous people here and what the vibe is like. I'm just tired of feeling unwelcome for existing.

Also super important: how's the punk / goth / metal scene here?? Thunder Bay bay had like one bar that does shows and sometimes the skate park, though that died because small city moment. I really miss live music and diy stuff.

Basically I'm weird, autistic, alternative, and trying to survive + go to school. Is this city chill for people like that or am I gonna suffer again?

Thank you

I recently switched phones and ever since then, I haven’t been able to access my Laurier account. Every time I try, it tells me to enter the 2-digit code, but the prompt to enter the code never shows up. I assume this is because my Authenticator app wants to send the prompt to my old device. Has anyone had this issue before?

Are loris tuition payments not beign processed over the holidays? Paid my tuition a week ago and it's still not being shown as paid on my student account summary

Hi, W26 will be my co-op term, and I currently have 1 online class registered and paid for. Since it's winter break right now and the university is closed, am I still about to contact my advisor and employer to register for a second course, or will it be too late to do so?

Thanks and happy new year! :)

i landed a job and the contract is due in a few days but i’m also looking to hear from another job (which is better commute, pay, aligns with program) that will update me in the following week. let’s say i sign the contract of the first job but the second job gets back to me and accepts me would i be able to leave my first job or would the co op office fight me😭 please help im losing my mind

Does anybody know of any outdoor community skating rinks that will be open for skating on NYE? I’m aware of city hall and the rink in uptown Waterloo, but looking for smaller, less busy ones :)

The new compost bins seem to have a latch. The garbage bins don’t though, and also don’t seem to close very well, not are they well balanced without much weight in them. I predict that raccoons will be able to knock them over/get into them and otherwise cause mischief with them. We’ve used a metal garbage can ever since squirrels or rats chewed through the lid on our plastic one. I haven’t seen tons of raccoons in KW, but I don’t know much about the interactions between rodent communities (squirrels/raccoons/rats) Does anyone else think this could spur a rodent renaissance? Rats and raccoons high-fiving one another, and so on? As cute as that sounds, I’ll be using a brick or similar to hold down the garbage bin lid.

Hi all,

I’m new to the KW. I was thinking of driving to Niagara Falls for New Year’s Eve, but it looks like there may be a lot of snow. Do you think it would be a bad idea to travel?

If so, are there any other places or events you’d recommend for New Year’s Eve around this area?

I’m in first year, so I’m still not sure how all this works. Are the grades I can see in quest the final grades in the course? I’m seeing lots of conflicting things on this sub.

For clarification, the question is essentially when do we get our grades with the final exam marks included?

Hi I was thinking of switching to kinesiology (bsc) im not fully sure. If there is anyone in the kin program and you send me a message i wanted to ask about how the program is and specific classes etc. I was thinking of just taking one kin class next semester to see if I fully like it and would change my program but Idk what class to take and im confused

I want to go to a World Cup game but it’s right during midterm season, would I be able to switch midterm dates if I contact the school in advance by like 2 months?

if anyone would mind helping me find this book "Adapting to Contemporary Health" by Rick Scheidt. myself and another fellow reddit user have not been able to find this book! would highly appreciate it !!

Made a video of a snowy day in Kitchener through my lens and windows- stillness, movement, rawness and snow.

Does anyone know of any natural bodies of water that aren’t iced over and safe for a polar plunge?

Does anyone know why Dan is so famous around the Waterloo area? I drove down Erb/ King and saw 3 properties on sale by Dan. I drove by Columbia and Hazel and saw multiple properties on sale by Dan. I was curious to know why a lot of properties are sold by Dan.

Thnx in Advance.

I'm in need of a colo locally, hopefully not too expensive, for a 1 or 2u server. Needs to be secure.

Constraints - looking to colo a Dell C4130. The server is apparently 5" longer than a typical 1u server so it's gonna stick out the end of a normal rack lol. Secondly, it'll have a couple GPU's in it so apparently it's quite power hungry - more so than a traditional server.

The size is causing issues with the folks I normally use for colo out of toronto, so wondering if there's anything reasonable around town I could do this at.

Im a first year student doing economics and financial management. I didnt join any case comps or teams last sem but i really wanna make it up to this sem. Can i still join?

please don’t tell me to get one myself I cannot put one on for shit lol

Hello Kitchener friends,

Looking at moving to an area of town where my child would attend Sandhills. Hoping to hear some open feedback from families with experience with this school.

Thank you kindly!

Hey guys, just wondering if there is any way to check the class median or average of one's courses. I just want to understand if I'm the only one that is getting fucked in that course or if all are getting fucked. But there seems to not be a way on Quest and our prof is not sharing the median...

Edit: Course median/averages (for title)

Looking for strong opinions! I've been on the hunt for a satisfying, delicious saag paneer since Sahar's Kitchen closed this past year (RIP). Most places I've looked offer palak paneer, and while there's nothing wrong with that, I'm craving the earthier/spicier saag. Anywhere in WR stand out?

Currently in Economics and accounting but I might get dropped to just Economics this semester because I wasn’t able to make the 7.0 average and I get assessed this semester. I still qualify for honours economics, so I was just wondering how hard it would be to get back into economics and accounting? Anyone that has experience in this?

Anyone else in Laurentian Hills or other areas get a visit from "Home Service Solutions" recently?

I just wonder what their deal is for anyone who engaged with them longer then to say "bugger off" because its really wierd that anyone would be ooout n aboot this time of year trying to bag outdoor business.

Maybe a scam?

I dunno...

But damn near my entire immediate family are contractors so I know no one is ever running around sourcing exterior jobs in December. Plus I know damned well there's nothing wrong with our gutter or otherwise because family of contractors- we do our stuff and the work is solid.

So whats the deal?

Was dude looking to give quotes and take deposits and stuff?

Just stinks of scam and I kinda regret not getting the deets now that he's gone.

We have lots of great local bands in Waterloo Region, but for me, I, the Mountain tops the list. If you're not familiar with them (or even if you are), check out this interview. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-104-the-morning-edition-k-w/clip/16189741-i-mountain-reflects-2025-album-next

Hello all,

I’m an EE entering 2A this winter. Career wise, im interested in developing prosthetic or medical imaging technology. Currently I’m debating on enrolling in the biomechanics option.

I was wondering if anyone in ECE has completed or is currently working on the biomechanics option. If so, could you share your experience working on through it and how well it’s helped you with jobs/coops?

Guys I’m looking for a job for the summer I’m from Brampton and it’s extremely hard trying to get a job as I don’t rlly have any relatives that could refer me for a job. I’ve been applying to internships but I really don’t wanna risk being unemployed from May-August. I don’t care if I have to work at McDonald’s I just need a job but the thing is I’ve genuinely applied to McDonald’s and I don’t even hear back from them😭 please give me any advice. I’m paying for tuition and rent myself, I had scholarships and OSAP this year. I really don’t wanna take out another loan from OSAP. I have some money saved up for 2A and I’ll apply to bursaries/scholarships as well. And then co-op could help me pay for 2B.

It’s not a fucking 4 way stop. In fact if there are no cars in the round about, or using your spatial awareness and common sense, you can proceed.

I’m honestly at my breaking point and don’t know what to do anymore. I need two wisdom teeth removed. They’re causing constant pain every single day. It’s not “sometimes hurts” pain it’s there when I wake up, when I eat, when I try to sleep. I’m exhausted and it’s messing with my mental health. I can’t afford dental care. I’ve looked into dentists, quotes, clinics, and everything is way out of my reach. I don’t have insurance and I don’t have family money to fall back on.

At this point I’m taking ibuprofen daily, sometimes multiple times a day, just to function. I know that’s not good long-term, and I’m worried about what it’s doing to my body, but I don’t see another option right now. I’m not asking for drugs or anything illegal. I’m just asking:

Are there any low-cost options people don’t usually know about? Dental schools, emergency clinics, payment plans, anything? Has anyone been through this and found a way out?

I feel like I’m going crazy from the pain and the stress, and I just want this dealt with so I can live normally again.

Any advice is appreciated. Seriously.

Home is in "North Galt" just south of the 401 off townline - have lower than normal water pressure it seems over the last week or so - anyone else experiencing the same?

Trying to change courses late. Does this mean I will be added to the waitlist or is it reserved for people already on it and I can't get in? What are the chances of me getting in?

Hi hi!

Looking for some suggestions on places in the Cambridge area to look for and try on bridesmaid dresses, other than David’s bridal.

Can also just be formal dress shops. Hoping yall can help me out better than google!

here in Southern Ontario so what better thing to do than refresh my childhood memories of my late mother’s Christmas favourite, Olliebollen. She has been gone for over a decade and we try to make them each year around Christmas to remember our Dutch heritage and her.

I am an adult (20s) without access to a car. I have a few friends in the city but none that both have a car and are close enough friends for me to feel comfortable asking to borrow/learn. I was laid off and qualify for better jobs Ontario and some other programs and they are willing to pay for me to get driver training and use the schools vehicle to take the test. Before I was laid off I had already started on this and gotten my G1 and had planned to do young drivers because they are the best, however Employment Ontario says they are too expensive and I should aim for under $1000. I know that they're not gonna be as good as YD but what is the best I can do for under 1k here?
