I'm taking this course and the assignments as very hard and time consuming. I was wondering if the final is any better and how you should study for it.

I am from Dubai and My daughter just got offer from Waterloo CS COOP program. It looks fabulous program and quite intensive too…how do kids manage ? do they get to have break and holidays ? Will she be able to travel back home for few days?

Would love to hear any feedback about this program. I'm not sure I want to work in research as I'd love to also have a practical knowledge in marketing (not only research and analytics). I'm afraid it's very limited in terms of jobs too, and that AI may reduce the amount of available jobs even further.

Anyway, if anyone thinks otherwise – please share your experience and knowledge!

I'm looking for a reliable and reasonably priced landscaper to spruce up my small yard (approx. 750sf) in Central Frederick before the summer.

Not looking to do any hardscaping - just grading, laying sod, clearing old / dead foliage and planting new perennials, etc. I don't have an exact design, so will also need that. One quote came in around $8500-10k, which feels excessive given the size and scope of the project.

Has anyone had a good experience with a landscape contractor that works on smaller residential projects like this?

walking my dog the other day and this house was genuinely methed up... I don't want to crack any jokes here guys but I get the feeling that there might be some herowinners amongst us

Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for a good water softener company. Ours was installed in 2021 and stopped working at the end of last year, so we’ve had it on bypass since( a plumber recommended that to us). It feels like it didn’t last very long, so we’re hoping to find something more reliable with good customer service. I’ve started my research but any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you:)

This is literally the best bakery around here the croissants are so good but holy shit the passion fruit tart is to die for please try it guys- just have to take the ion train towards Conestoga for one stop and get off at the research and technology institute and it’s a 3-5 min walk.

I think I screwed up big time. There was a bus at a 4 way. And I turned left bus was on the same side as me and never passed it. But now I'm second guessing myself. I know all busses are equipped with those plate readers now as well. I'm also aware of the fines and how much I fucked up. How long does it take to get it in the mail?

Hey everyone,

I recently got accepted to Waterloo CS for Fall 2026 as an international student! I'm super excited, but the sticker shock is real and I am trying to figure out the actual financials before I accept the offer.

Looking at the updated fee schedule, international CS tuition is now around $36,000 CAD per term. That’s $72k+ just for tuition in Year 1, not even counting rent, food, fees, or the annual 5% tuition increase for upper years.

I know co-op is supposed to help pay for a good chunk of this, but I have no idea what realistic co-op earnings look like right now in this job market.

For current international students or recent grads, I'd love your brutal honesty:

1. What is a realistic total net cost for the full 5 years? (Total Tuition + Total Rent/Food/Living MINUS Total Co-op earnings). What is the final out-of-pocket number I should expect? $250k CAD? $300k+ CAD?
2. How much does co-op actually offset right now? Assuming I'm an average/good student, how much can I realistically expect to make across all 6 work terms in the current tech economy?
3. Is it still worth it? For those paying these insane international fees, is the Waterloo name and WaterlooWorks still worth the price tag, or has the current tech market ruined the ROI?

Any estimates, breakdowns, or advice would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I am a 1B student in the faculty of mathematics.

I have put a lot of effort into this course, and I have achieved a 95.99% average!

I am really proud of myself, and I just felt like sharing!

Hi,

I received an offer from the University of Waterloo about a month ago, and I’m still thinking it over and considering all my options.

I’ve heard that many students secure positions at Big 4 firms and build strong resumes, but these roles seem to be mostly accounting-focused. I was wondering whether finance students can also secure these positions—not just for experience, but also to financially support themselves.

• How likely is it to get a co-op job in finance?

• What happens if someone is unable to find a job during a co-op term?

I understand that completing four co-op terms is required to graduate. Are there students who fail to secure internships? What are the chances of that happening?

Hi guys, I am a university student in Laurier and I’m trying to find a part time job to pass by. Due to the OSAP cuts I have been struggling to pay for my expenses. Is there any places nearby that has a help wanted sign, I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

I feel like I’d probably fail or barely pass if I didn’t have the resources we do today if I were to do my whole undergraduate again but 10-15 years ago. Not even including AI, I started my degree way before that but In general like how flexible online courses are and coop interviews being in person versus remotely. What yall think?

Yes it’s 2am and it just dawned on me as I was finishing up an assignment for an online course.

r there any Fortnite players that go to uw istg every1 j plays league or val

Hey guys I need some advice someone mentioned before if you don’t end up finishing your degree for health sci you just graduate with a gen sci degree… my question is how do you do that? Like do you have to transfer to general sci first before applying for grad or how does that work? can someone help me please

Can someone help me with the assignment? AI is giving me conflicting answers and I am lost

Hey everyone, this might be a stupid question but I was just wondering if there are any Waterloo groups, clubs, Discords, meetups, or communities where people working on projects tend to hang out.

I’d appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

What is the best place to have a morning coffee with cigaret near village 1?

I've landed my first co-op this summer, and my recent performance in MATH 138 and CS 136 has made me worry about my grades.

I've heard that after you get your first co-op, grades don't really matter, is this true?

I'm not targeting any prestigious companies btw I'm mostly interested in working at startups and smaller firms

I know there was a storm that seems to have now passed, but internet seems to be immensely slow and I can’t really work, wanted to see if it’s just me?

Please don’t flame me. I’m just looking for honest insight.

I’m planning to do my gdip, which means doing all the prerequisite CPA classes in years 3/4. I already declared accounting as a concentration but I just need to mentally prepare myself for what the upcoming years are going to be like.

From what I’ve heard, the courses are extremely difficult, overwhelming, and will suck the life out of you. I’m already stressed because I struggled in managerial accounting.

For those who have gone through it (or are going through it), how intense is it actually? Is it manageable with good study habits, or is it as rough as people make it seem?

Thanks in advance

How long does this last??

Looking for anywhere in the area that can put sunglasses lenses into an old pair of glasses, Costco quote was absolutely rediculous as I know there are places that can do cheaper plastic or glass

Not overly expensive phones just the screen won't turn on

Female but looking for androgynous short hair, fine with going to barber or salon as long as it's low cost. I've been looking around, but there is always at least a $20 difference between men's and women's cuts

i’ve actually never been so excited before

I started looking at that new goose tracking website called waddleloo to avoid any aggressive geese during nesting season. On the website, it says that there is a confirmed nest at the Carl Pollock Hall (CPH) entrance. Can anyone who has seen this for themselves confirm this? Cause I walk that path all the time and don’t want to risk finding out for myself and getting attacked.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for the best bakery in Kitchener-Waterloo for scones and macarons. Taste is super important, but I’d also love somewhere that has cute / nice packaging since I’m bringing it as a gift.

Any go-to spots you’d recommend? 😊

Did prof howe say this when he posted the final exam practice last term?

“The pool of exam questions is being expanded to increase the variation from one exam to another. So don't be surprised if your exam has substantial differences with the 2 posted practice exams.”

Apparently it’s not going to be similar to the previous finals 😩😩

Hey guys

Waterloo EE is the top choice for my preferred uni. I made the grave mistake of having no relevant work experience and I regret it now. I do have experience in coding as I took grade 11 + 12 CS courses which help me learn alot of java and python. What other experience should I get before going into waterloo EE and to have a higher chance of getting a co-op as stream 4?

I was planning to buy those electrical kits (arduino) for beginners to gain some beginner knowledge about electronics and maybe learn matlab if it's worth it.

Any other ideas or am I cooked?
Thanks

The final is coming up and I was wondering if anyone had some tips to study for it. I’ve heard from him that the final consists of 3 short answer questions. Can anyone who previously had him give tips from experience/advice for the final and say what the range of difficulty it was?

Is it worth getting a cheap kayak at costco or something for the grand river or should I get a canoe? I rented canoes before and there seems to be some shallow spots that have the canoe drag its bottom a lot. Would the kayak go deeper into the water than a canoe and drag more? Only real experience is with the canoes from canoeing the grand.
