What's something you wished to experience more as a Waterloo student?

What would make you happier to see, experience or have as a Waterloo student? I'm curious since my friend who studies at UofT and with social life pointed out a valid point about not knowing what to do on a free time apart from studying, spending money, and eating (with and/or without friends). So, what's something you wish to do more of as a Waterloo student?

Internships for summer 2026 as First Year

Hey everyone, soooo I am applying for internships outside of WaterlooWorks, and was wondering on websites, ways, and stuff you guys got your first internship

getting a software eng internship would be a dream come true ofc, but i am open to Q/A and data analystics all those type of roles as well... My question is:

- any and all posts i see on linkendin/indeed asks for insane requirement which i dont have
- the internships i do find ask for graduating in 2028

i have experience in java, js/ts, python, have experience with database and whatnot, its not "mind blowing" but is impressive in my eye for me.

any guide on how to cold email, find people, find startups is appreciated, i am truly lost....

Your favourite hair salon in KW

Hi, looking for your fave hair salon in KW! Preferably someone who can help me out with my thinning hair and figure out what cut and style looks good on me.

My budget is about $80 so hoping to find something around that or less.

I’ve found a few recommendations on other threads in this sub but I’d love to get some recommendations from someone with thin hair who’s happy with their stylist!

Thank you :)

How to know you got transfer

I applied to transfer from cive to mech (1a to 1b) by giving form and letter to advisor in e2 office but I don't know where to look for decision. website just says you will be given an offer if it's approved but not where the offer is (unless im blind) where do I look for it lol. will I be notified on outlook? or quest? advisor said decsion will be made in late december to early january

btw this is stupid question but will they look at non-stem course grade less when looking at your application? currently have 91 avg but if u remove english its 94 so i did rlly well in stem courses like che102 and math116 but not as well in non-stem courses, will they like weigh stem grades to be more important? is this good academic standing for transfer lol i been losing sleep

Do places hire for part time in Jan/Feb?

After a few months of unemployment after graduating college, I was finally able to land a

part-time seasonal retail job back in November. Unfortunately they aren’t looking to extend my position, so I’m going back to being employed in mid Jan.

It took me so long to land this job, and I was really only able to get it because they were mass hiring for the seasonal term. I’m feeling super unmotivated right now since I imagine many places won’t be hiring in January.

Marketing a Startup

Hey everyone,

I’m a student currently working on a small startup idea and we’re still very early, basically at the MVP stage. I’m building this on my own right now and don’t have any funding, so I’m trying to be realistic about how to move forward.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how early-stage projects like this actually get marketed when there’s no budget, and I’m also curious whether it’s normal or reasonable to look for people who might want to get involved through volunteering or an internship-type role, especially for marketing or outreach. I’m not trying to take it as 'free labour' but it’s more about learning together, getting real experience working on something outside of class and being fully transparent about expectations.

I know a lot of students are interested in startups, product, marketing, or just seeing how things work behind the scenes, so I wanted to ask here before doing anything the wrong way. If you’ve worked on a student startup before, helped one grow or even tried something like this yourself, I’d really appreciate hearing what worked, what didn’t, and what to avoid.

Mostly just looking for advice and perspectives from other students. Thanks in advance.

do i transfer

im really conflicted so it'll bring me comfort to hear any other opinions based on your own experience in waterloo!

im a 1a humanities student living on res, but im struggling to stay afloat. i'm a really extroverted and social person, but i've found it extremely difficult to make (girl!) friends here. i try my best to talk to people in my class, applied to clubs and even sliding into dms, but it never actually turns into anything. i just feel so isolated, i expected university to be a place where i made new connections, but it feels so pathetic not having a true friend. if im being honest, most of the girls i've tried talking to are in stem but it seems like im looked down upon by pursuing arts. i'm also not in a good place academically, im shooting for high 80's but right now im at mid 70's. this also plays an important role as i want to apply for law schools. granted i was never ever the brightest in school, but i really put as much effort as i could into this term. i chose waterloo for mainly the co-op program, distance to my hometown, and the reputation waterloo holds, but now i don't know if this is the right place to be. any advice or suggestions on what i can do?

Looking for a Garage, Basement, or Backyard Gym for a Short Film in Kitchener, Ontario

Hey Kitchener!

We're a small crew from Spain filming a short cinematic indie film about an immigrant's dedication to training. We're looking for a garage, basement, or backyard gym with that old-school, raw aesthetic to shoot a training scene.

What we need:

  • A garage, basement, or backyard gym with character (old-school, gritty, lived-in vibes)
  • Preferably with a weight rack and pull up bar
  • About 2 hours of access
  • Anytime before January 6 (that's when we fly back to Spain)

What you get:

  • Credit in the film
  • Full rights to use any footage we produce
  • And of course, we wouldn't ask for your help without showing our appreciation (DM for details)

What to expect from us:

  • We'll only bring one camera and film our main character training
  • We won't move or change anything
  • We'll leave the space exactly as we found it

We're happy to work around your schedule. Kitchener or anywhere nearby works.

If you've got a space that fits or know someone who might, feel free to drop a picture in the comments or send me a DM!

Thanks!

Keeping Pets Safe on New Years

Keeping Pets Safe on New Years

As we approach New Years, I wanted to make a post to help keep your pets safe!

  • If you are having guests over, close your pets in a designated room to prevent them from bolting out a door or window. If not possible, keep them on a leash, or crate them/close them off in an area when anyone enters or leaves.
  • Double check your yards, especially with the amount of snow we have had, in the event there's a new escape route. Ensure all gates have working latches and are secure before letting them out, especially with this wind!
  • Keep pets leashed in your yard if they may bolt during fireworks. Consider double leashing and tethering one to you with a carabiner as a safety line.
  • Walk dogs well before fireworks are to start.
  • Invest in a tracker, such as Tractive or an apple tag at least!
  • Consider calming diffusers (i.e. Feliway & Adaptil), treats, medications (consult your vet), and/or thunder/compression shirts if your pets are scared of fireworks.
  • Additionally, consider jamming out to some reggae music this new years. Research has shown it helps with anxiety for pets and humans!
  • If you aren't already, follow Ground Search And Rescue KW and GSR Feline Division, on Facebook and Instagram. If your pet does get out, contact them and the humane society immediately!

Stay safe, stay warm, and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your holidays.

Room Rental/Semi-Private Spaces

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for restaurants, cafés, or community spaces that offer private or semi-private areas for a small group (around 10 people). Ideally, the space would be free, low-cost, or available with a minimum spend. I’m also open to restaurant suggestions that have quieter sections suitable for conversation. Anywhere in Kitchener/Waterloo or just outside is ideal!

The space would need to be available on weekday evenings. Thanks in advance!

4th year/graduation

As I am waiting for a response from the BBA office,

I’m wondering if someone knows/can clarify this info from the academic calender page from WLU

“Students who choose to study part-time are responsible for their own registration and their status may be full time or part time. Students who choose to study part time may defer the normal anticipation graduation date by up to 18 months”.

When would the timer for 18 months begin?

Graduation: Requires completion of all 5.0 required and elective courses of year 4 with a minimum cumulative GPA of 7.00 in all Business and minimum cumulative GPA of 5.00 in all non-business. Students who have not met the course and GPA requirements to graduate must meet the requirements within one calendar year.

What does it mean by one calendar year, like when does that “year” begin? Asking as I am doing internships and taking 1-2 courses each semester to progress right now

Restoring overgrown nature trails

I work at a facility with a pretty large property that has a network of nature trails. They haven't been maintained in years and are basically invisible under the overgrowth.

We’d love to get them cleared so they can be used again, but we aren't sure of the best way to start.

  • Has anyone done this before? Any "must-have" tools or common mistakes to avoid?
  • Do schools (in forestry/landscaping) ever take on real-world projects for student practice?
  • Any recommendations for local companies or groups that specialize in trail work?

Obviously, this wouldn't be done in this weather, but it is a goal for next year.

I appreciate any insights!

For Eng Only: Is it Possible to have a numbered grade changed to INC or CR/NCR?

Before someone says: "Just contact you academic advisor", everyone is off until the New Years and I'm getting pretty impatient and anxious, I would like to hear others experiences.

Anyways, I'm in Tron 3B and pretty close to passing the term. I read on a recent failing post that it may be possible to have one of your numbered grades turn into an INC or CR/NCR, depending on the faculty.

Goes without saying that if the course is an INC or NCR, you have to take it again, which I am okay with. Question is, since I'm so close to passing and in 3B, will the department and faculty make an exception and mark one of my courses as INC or CR/NCR, because that would remove the course from my average, allowing me to pass. Does anybody have experience with this situation?

if you live at 300 Regina, lost a phone and need it back, PM me

Found it ringing in a snowbank near Brothers on King - I'm running errands and couldn't keep it with me but have dropped it off somewhere (hopefully) safe. Msg me for the exact location if you cant find it on your own.
