There are growing concerns in Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge, as individuals are regularly posting and claiming that they can secure jobs in Amazon warehouses, while charging between $1,500 and $2,000 for what they present as legitimate employment. This practice is raising serious questions, as it suggests an alarming trend that preys on vulnerable job seekers, and exploits their desperation. Even more troubling, some people are reportedly offering paid assistance to ensure candidates advance to the second stage of interviews for placements in top manufacturing units in Maple Grove, creating an environment where opportunities are manipulated, and the integrity of the hiring process is put at risk.

What is something, non-political, that you would change about the city?? Bus routes, shopping, amenities, parks, etc.

Hey!

UW student here. I haven't had any luck in the UW subreddit so thought I'd try my luck here. 3rd year female student looking to see to if any other women come up from Cambridge.

I have class 3 days a week 8:30 in the morning and am looking for options outside of bussing.

Willing to pay for gas or pay whatever number we both agree to.

Please dm if interested.

Guys, are there any tips and concepts I should focus on for CP264 with HBF. Theory I can learn, but coding is what holds me back especially doing it on paper. Wanting to know what concepts he particularly focuses on for the exam and midterm. Please LMK and any other tips with HBF's 264.

Haven’t acc been living on res till today and didn’t get the chance to pick up my o kit. Is it still possible to grab it or is it too late?

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening? I see a lot of cops.

Looking for a club or court in the KWC area that’s open on weekends. The KC Badminton Club is closed on Saturdays and only open Sunday afternoons. Any recommendations?

Has anyone done the Masters of Digital Experience Innovation (MDEI)?? Ive been looking into potential Masters programs as someone who’s in digital comms / marketing and would love to hear any thoughts or experiences! :)

pls critique my resume

As the title suggests, I took three courses this term with absolutely amazing professors (first time teaching at Waterloo). I want to leave them reviews on UWFlow, but I can’t seem to find an option to add a professor there. Any suggestions?

Anyone knows which book is refered for Binocular vision for OD classes?

Hi all, I’ve seen that my program requires a textbook or two. Do I need to buy them before the start of school this week? Or is it okay to wait to see what the professors say on the first day?

I went to the plaza walk-in clinic and the doctor provides me a prescription, so I went to the shoppers pharmacy to get the medicines. The clinic doesn’t charge me anything so I’m pretty sure everything happened there were fully covered, but at the pharmacy I got charged with full price of the medicines and pharmacist told me to submit a claim myself as they couldn’t directly do it for me.

Now my question is, given that I only have the most basic UHIP (I’m an international student so I don’t have OHIP), can I possibly get these drugs covered? And if no, does that mean should I get the WUSA student care to have any future prescription drugs i may get to be covered?

anyone previous been thru similar situation? any answers are greatly appreciated🥹🙏🙏

Hi! I’m a new grad student at UWaterloo (former UConn student), and I’ll be around for about a year. I’ve been into arcade rhythm games for the past 8 years—mostly IIDX, SDVX, Pop’n, Jubeat, Taiko, and DDR.

I saw the DDR club on the Internet, but it doesn’t seem active anymore. Does anyone know what the DDR or general arcade rhythm game scene is like at Waterloo these days?

I have a 2018 Yuancon SDVX controller (Modded), a 2022 Phoenixwan+ IIDX controller (Modded), a new TaikoForce lv6, and a broken PS2 Pop'n controller on the campus. Happy to share and chat about these games if people are interested!

Escaped recently

I’ve been looking into Wilfrid Laurier’s combined Honours Arts (BA) and MBA program, and I’d love some perspective from people who’ve done it or know someone who has.

Here’s my situation: I’m super passionate about film and would love to pursue a career in that space—whether that’s in filmmaking, production, or something creative. At the same time, I know the industry can be unpredictable, and I’d like to have a strong business background to fall back on (and honestly, I think understanding business would help me in the film world too).

Is this program really worth the time and money investment?

If anyone else is commuting from Toronto to waterloo and wants to commute together feel free to pm me (: I basically have to commute everyday in the morning for class.

Anybody notice rogers outages in the Preston area near eagle? Started around 5:45pm

Currently trying to find an Icon/RezOne room or something equivalent for Winter 2026 and im actually tweaking, ive probably messaged like 110 ppl on Marketplace and Bamboo housing and have probably gotten a total of 3 or 4 replies… Does anyone know where else I should be looking? Also curious if anyone knows what a fair price is for an Icon or RezOne room for winter term

Some of our group didn’t buy tickets yet and it seems they have already sold out.. There are 5 of us who still need them. We didn’t think they would sell out so far in advance :(

What’s with all the mattresses out front of peoples houses today? Is there some sort of Charity Drive? Not just on this street but a bunch of other streets.

Hey, I am wondering if there a cap on how long you can park your car at lot X and till how late can we park over the weekend?

For the BBA students who have completed their co-op interview already this year. What questions did you receive during your interview?

I was unfortunately unable to make it to the first day of orientation and will be unable to make it tomorrow either despite having registered and paid. Upon doing some research I found that wristbands are required and are handed out on the 30th and 31st. I found some posts from previous years saying that it can still be possible to get a wristband at the SLC or another booth, although I am unsure of whether or not this still remains true for this year. Is there still a way to get a wristband on Tuesday?

Hi all,

I am looking to purchase an aluminum awning to replace the one that was damaged this past winter. The awning is for a door to my mudroom, so not very large.

I received a couple quotes so far, but they seem ridiculous (over 5k)..

Can anybody recommend a company that sells and potentially installs awnings in and around KW, that is also reasonably priced?

Thank you

Are lectures recorded?

The roundabout upgrade is almost completed. At pedestrian crossings, are concrete curbs with asphalt gravel ramps for people using wheelchair. It looks terrible and cheap. I am not sure if somebody forgot to plan for wheelchairs.

Anybody selling?

Hey, going into 2A Data Science and feeling pretty lost in terms of career.

To me, machine learning seems like the most interesting field to explore. I think the idea of working with a model, working to improve it and then applying it seems fun. But I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to land an entry level ML coop when I don't have 1) any deep statistical knowledge yet 2) flashy projects with crazy models (i swear everyone has these)

I've tried to learn some ML on my own by doing Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course and Stanford's Statistical Learning playlist on YouTube, so I understand the general gist of modelling like overfitting, feature selection, feature engineering, etc - but only at a high level.

Then I tried working on some projects:

• Movie recommender using collaborative filtering (I just used whatever algorithm ChatGPT told me)
• Failed building a computer vision project (ingredient detection from fridge pictures), since I realized I didn't have enough data
• Did the Titanic Kaggle dataset: cleaned features, scaled/engineered some, tested models in sklearn, ended with Gradient Boosting ~78% accuracy. Then kind of stopped because I didn’t know how to improve my accuracy.

Idk, it just feels like I can't build an interesting project because either the topic is too niche and it's hard to get data or I just don't know enough to build it. So the only option left is just building one of those default ML projects recruiters have already seen where you just do a bit of data cleaning and then run a pre existing model.

Honestly, I don't really know what to work on anymore, so here are my questions for anyone with any experience:

- What kind of projects helped you stand out?

- Does it make more sense to try to land a analyst/data science role first? This seems decent but then my focus would be shifted on landing these kind of roles, and I wouldn't be working on ML skills.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

THIS CITY IS SO DANG BORING

Anyone know a good repair shop for PS5 in KW area? PS5 turns on but it says no signal on tv. Tried switching monitors and HDMI cables still same thing.

I'm hoping to redo my driveway next year and I want to start getting into the planning phase of things in regards to design and potential price of such a project. Can anyone recommend a company that does quality work or that you had a really good experience with?

when can i expect to see the courses im enrolled in on my learning space

Hey guys, you may have seen my post before about my website. I've been working on this project over the summer.

It's a free website resource for learning math and physics concepts. With an emphasis on proving equations through mathematical proof or derivations, and showing you the connections of concepts through an interactive semantic network.

• Physics 1 & 2
• Calculus 1
• Linear Algebra 1

• Calculus 2 & 3
• Linear Algebra 2
• Modern Physics
• Differential Equations
• & More

Mostly meant for 1st years atm for learning. But upper-years will find it helpful as a review resource.

Just a quick question today I just found that that I had to sign some documents and upload them typically how long does it take for the school to confirm everything and Osap send money abd cover my invoice?

I have stuff to do so I am considering skipping it. People who have attended, is it worth it?

found tesla key card at the waterloo park , let me know if it is yours
