submitted by /u/Prior_Nectarine_2661I have a math course that I could either take online or in person next term, wondering which one would be better?
submitted by /u/Leafs____Anyone know where I would be able to make or have someone make just one custom t-shirt? It needs to be a nice quality cotton t-shirt for mens! I was hoping to have a design I made vinyl printed on!
Looking for something that won't break the bank! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
submitted by /u/CuriousTHaHaNot even joking, for the past few days I've been struggling to fall asleep before 3 AM because I roll in bed for hours, semi-awake, imagining racket code, congruence equations, derivatives of inverse trig functions, leetcode problems and golem push on clash royale. I have a strong feeling tonight will also be like this.
I also get intense anxiety during these episodes, like I'm in a state of semi-nightmare and genuinely long for someone to hug me and calm me down
I'm beyond cooked ig

submitted by /u/Scary_Sir9481Hi there, Iāve been offered a co-op position in London ON, and it would be my first co-op that isnāt local to Waterloo. Iām wondering, how early would it be advised to start looking for a room to rent for co-ops in other cities? Should I start ASAP or is it better to try a little later?
Iām planning on looking at resources such as Roomies or Marketplace, and probably asking around if people I know have any leads. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
submitted by /u/Alive_Setting_1554Why does flock stop/international news no longer sell cigarettes, I was told by an alum it was a hot commodity to grab after getting drunk at the bar in SLC (which we also no longer have)
just imagine itās February of 1993 after a midterm and you and the lads are wasted on ring road smoking darts, all without leaving campus, this is what they took from us

submitted by /u/BarberRemarkable9994Hi all! I'm looking for ideas for regular weekly activities to fill my evenings this winter.
I already play in a couple sports leagues and try to go hiking most weekends, but I'd love to add a few more things to the routine.
What hobbies or activities are you doing to stay active, social, or just break up the week? Looking for anything that gets me out of the house.
submitted by /u/CrazyAd7911Im doing horribly right now in 137, avging around a 65%, also knew I bombed yesterday's test, got like a 25% max after looking through the solutions, am I cooked? I don't know what im doing wrong, I've been spending way more time on 137 than 135 but yet i still am averaging around 85 on 135, am I cooked for 137
submitted by /u/No_Development9306Yeah, so as the title suggests, I failed midterm 1. I did study, but I ended up completely blanking out and losing track of time. I got around a 47, which was far below the average. All I remember was that I was one mark off passing. The second midterm is approaching fast, and I am extremely worried I won't even pass the course, and the drop date has passed. From what I hear the second midterm is A LOT worse. I wanted at least a 70 in the course, but now I literally don't even know if I can pass. Is it over?
submitted by /u/Existing_Spend_5441Had poor experiences checking at Kitchener and Waterloo Honda. Kitchener didnāt let me test drive the vehicle I wanted (they said I could try a civic when I wanted to try a civic hatchback), and Waterloo tried to sell me on a $1500 used car add on package (said it was mandatory). Looking into a new CRV. Curious about good testimonials from other Honda dealers in the surrounding areas.
submitted by /u/spunjxGot an offer for a role through the employer-direct board but rankings are due tomorrow and I wanted to see my chances of getting a job through there since I got ranked. I accepted the offer through email, so does this mean I have to change my rankings or can I keep it the way it is?
submitted by /u/Particular_Owl_414Me and my 4 other roommates are looking for a house or apartment for next September. Does anyone know any affordable buildings? (Preferably under 900?) We go to Laurier.
submitted by /u/AdDesigner3675Im debating moving apartments but Ive been where I am for 10 years and my rent is inclusive so Ive lost all touch with how much utilities run. If youre a renter, can you approximate how much you pay in utilities a month and which utilities you pay for ? And how many people in your household?

submitted by /u/Jumpy_Session6494Do all the hyperlinks in the AFM111 Learn not annoy anyone else? Like for what reason do i need to open 17 new tabs just to read a 3 sentence paragraph about to do for an assignment⦠and then navigating back to the tab you actually need? goodluck when they all basically have the same titles. As if thereās not enough other things to overstimulate about
submitted by /u/Round-Inflation-7112Conestoga refused my post (imo) so Iāll post it all here. A little advice for any young bakers looking to start their own business, hereās why Conestoga being the ābest culinary program aroundā isnāt the best direction.
If I could give advice to students thinking about joining this program, I would tell them to steer clear. Honestly, it feels like a waste of both money and time because everything they teach you can be found in YouTube videos. Youāre literally paying like $4000 a semester for them to show you YouTube videos you can watch at home for free.
For our demo day, we spent an hour watching YouTube videos with barely any input from the instructor. Most of what we learned couldāve been condensed into a short email with a few key points but her input isnāt really necessary. I think it should be an online course.
The math course is too fast. (Should be an online course anyway) They teach about 3 hours of content every Monday, then immediately test you. Itās so fast-paced that it starts on Labour Day (which they donāt tell you), so by the time you show up for your first class, youāre already behind. They also release content on holidays so no breaks, just burnout.
The in-class experience is pretty much independent learning. They throw so much at you, and itās all sink or swim. Iāve spoken to other students, and we all agree the labs are packed with too much information. Itās overwhelming, and it feels like you're just trying to survive the day.
The lab instructor isnāt great either. Sheās nice to some people, but definitely has her favorites. Iād ask her questions, and sheād say, āYouāre supposed to know this.ā But then my partner or another classmate would ask the same thing and sheād happily answer.
I also didnāt appreciate how she treated me as a student. I went through a major personal loss and had to attend a funeral the night before my midterm. When I finished the exam, I broke down and cried. I was completely disassociated the entire exam, running on survival mode and struggling with the weight of everything. The next day, I overheard my instructor, another chef, and four classmates making comments about how ābaking students are soft,ā ātheyāre crybabies,ā and ācanāt take criticism.ā When they saw me walk over they all just stopped talking. So not only was I grieving a huge loss on my own, but now I also felt completely alienated from my peers and completely out of place.
I really wouldnāt recommend this course to anyone. If youāre thinking about starting it, just use Google and online resources. Theyāll help you way more for less. Itās a complete waste of money.

submitted by /u/Sudden-Day-7301Hi guys, in honour of the 1st snowy week in Waterloo, I spent the last couple of days making what I think is the best Waterloo tunnels map!
Main improvement is that I added the floor numbers and locations so you can actually find a tunnel when you're in its building, and also added piano locations for those who partake. I might make a v2 that has a little outline of the path from one tunnel to another inside each building, just for complete clarity, and maybe some info on the secret maintenance tunnels...
Let me know if you have any feedback! I hope this can keep everyone warm and happy throughout the horrendous Waterloo winter :)
submitted by /u/Short-Story4511I'm in Eng and in 3rd year already. I truly enjoy the course materials and I find my program super interesting and would love it if I can go into the field. I can't say I'm good at it but I think I'm at least not bad at it.
But since I've been struggling with mental health I built bad study habits which does not allow me to put in the time for studying and assignments. Since this had been the major problem for couple years now, I'm starting to think maybe if I'm incapable of putting in this much effort and studying academically, I might not be a fit to become an engineer? Idk
Whats ur thoughts? U can be brutally honest
submitted by /u/Plastic_Bad_715$453.85, doing 70km in a 40km zone on Fisher Hallman, Forest Hill area on Nov1st.
Is that amount justified? I'm broke as a joke and I'm sitting here in disbelief, right with Christmas coming too. I don't even have it in me to dispute this, and will just take the hit and pay it. It's less stress on me to be rid of it.
I remember the day perfectly, going with the flow of traffic...did anyone else get a ticket this day on this stretch?
I've sent an email to the region trying to get these cameras removed ...or even repurposed to catch those on cell phones instead, but the money they can suck up with these cameras will have any objection falling on deaf ears.
Clearly I was the one speeding, but I don't think this amount is just, and I feel wronged.
I dunno, I'm just at a loss, and came here to vent.
submitted by /u/Mindless-Raccoon7Agent Orange connects Elmiraās past, present and future to a distant war that ended 50 years ago. Contamination leaves an uncertain future haunted by chemicals that lurk in the underground aquifers and the Canagagigue Creek. Susan Bryant started battling for cleanup in 1989 and, in many ways, the creek and the chemicals define her. The creek cleanup continues and it will take years, probably decades, to reach drinking water standards.
submitted by /u/bylo_selhiFor 2nd years/ those who have already taken MA129, was the final exam similar to the practice he gave? I found that the midterm practice was very different from the exam itself, so k want to be well prepared for the final. Any tips help. Thanks
submitted by /u/Mediocre_Shape_7846By any chance, does anyone at this university know what a stikbot is? It is an animation figure that is about 10 years old. I have never met anyone irl who has been invested in this figure at all. So I just thought I would ask out of curiosity to see if there is anyone.
submitted by /u/LeopoldcolemanHey guys! I'm looking for a place for 5 people, and was just wondering if anyone could share their experiences with Ezra-Bricker Apartments or Accomod8u Apartments. I was looking into HRS, but I've seen a bunch of horrible reviews, so I want to know if the other two are the same or better. These three companies' listings seem to be the only reasonably priced and close to campus.

submitted by /u/Chris14359Hey everyone, first-year math student here
Iām trying to build a little robot and wanted to ask around for advice/resources.
The rough plan
Jetson Nano for the main compute, and I want to give it two āeyes.ā Either stereo vision or maybe one regular camera + one without an IR filter for better low-light vision. Stereo vision is kinda painful to implement, so the second option might actually be more realistic
The whole thing will be pretty small (under 15Ć15Ć25 cm). Iām planning to 3D-print the body, use two wheels as actuators (maybe add a rotating head in a gen-2 version), toss in a battery, wiring, etc.
My question: Is there anywhere on campus where I can get this kind of stuff for cheap or free?
I already have the Jetson Nano, but Iām trying to figure out if thereās a place to get motors, wheels, webcams/Jetson-compatible image sensors, 3D printing access, anything like that.
Does UW have spots where people donate old parts, or any labs/shops where students can grab leftovers or buy components without getting ripped off?
I'm financially broke. Thank you so much
submitted by /u/RevolutionaryAct69My daughter really dislikes swimming, so Iām looking for other ways to keep her active. She seems to show some interest in gymnastics.
Does anyone know of a place where I can book a trial session for her (around age 4) near boardwalk area? Also, please suggest any other activities that are not seasonally restricted , something she can continue year-round and that wonāt be too heavy on the wallet.
thanks
