Hi, I was wondering if I plan on attending BME which stream would be better? Stream 4 or Stream 8.

Hi,

I've gotten into Waterloo's Honours Mathematics/Financial Analysis and Risk Management Co-op as well as UofT's Studies in Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and I'm in need of some advice on which program I should take.

For FARM, others have said that co-op is really good in terms of opportunities to find jobs right after university. However, other people are saying that it also has no direction and is not a good program.

UofT on the other hand, is convenient as it's closer to home (2 hours drive in comparison to 30 mins, not too big of a difference but enough for it to be quite annoying), I'm familiar with downtown Toronto, I have friends who are going, and a decent enough program too.

I would just like some insight in the FARM program (opportunities, what it looks like 2-3 years into the program) to know if it's worth that extra effort for going there.

Just curious!

Hi!

I'm in Honours Earth Sciences (Hydrogeology specialization). CIVE 222 (intro to linear and partial differential equations) used to be a requirement for my program, but was recently removed.

For anyone who has taken CIVE 222 and gone on to do hydrogeology coursework or work, did it actually help? Or is EARTH 456 self-contained enough that you don't need the analytical DE background going in?

Thanks!

Hello! I’m currently in 12th grade and I will be attending Waterloo in the fall. I was planning on buying an Ipad for myself using the student discount, however I am unsure how the student discount works and when I can use it; do I have to wait until I get my physical ID card or can I just give them my student number?

Thank you

Hi all,

Looking for help to mount a 65" TV on the wall, as well as hiding the cords and putting a shelf for my DVD player around the TV. Ideally the person can consult in what is maybe an awkward set up in the room (trying to avoid /r/tvtoohigh situation...).

I was thinking too if I am having someone do this, maybe they could help assemble a Billy/Oxberg bookcase I ordered. I need help bringing the last heavy box up the stairs inside and while I usually don't mind tackling IKEA furniture this one is quite high and I don't want to do something silly. I also got lights to put inside the bookcase and willing to pay someone to set them up!

Thanks! Solo homeownership task fatigue is real...

Hi, I recently left a job with a hefty GoodLife discount … now that I don’t have the discount I will NOT be paying full price for GoodLife.

ps. I can’t believe anyone pays full price for GoodLife not worth the money

Update.. I’m obviously asking for new gym recommendations….

Has anyone taken MA100 before or last semester? If so could you please DM me 😭 I have a few questions about the course because I’m kinda struggling right now. I’d really appreciate any tips or advice from anyone who’s taken it!!

Hi there! Im looking for an extra ticket for the June 17th 2:30 PM convocation. Im willing to pay as well.

Message me if that can be arranged.

Thanks!

hello im 08 going into honors mathematics this fall,
i was just wondering what are some majors that isnt cooked for next decades due to ai developments.

i honestly like biology, which i thought of majoring in biostatistics in second year, but it looks like this field is not very safest these days.

ive heard data science and actuarial science are good, but are there any math studies that i could study applying science (preferably bio) in math?

thank you

I just accepted my offer for BBA and applied for housing, I know it's a lottery and youre matched with someone based on your lifestyle but when do you find out your building/roomate? I want to get in touch with them before move in

Title

Is 46th needed, or is 45th fine?

Thoughts from anyone else whose driven through here?

Friend said it's for all programs, but pretty sure it's only for eng

I don't want to have to order them online, so if anyone's seen them, lmk : )

I ended up deferring my final exam for BU127 due to sickness, what can I expect on the exam? Will it be the same format as if I were to take it on the regular exam time and will the marking be significantly harder?

Any advice helps, thank you!!

My son recently was accepted into the double degree program at Laurier and is quite excited. In trying to get feedback on the program, I’m seeing a lot of comments on the difficulty of the double major. I wonder if there are any recent students in the program that can provide feedback/tips of being successful in the program. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also any first year residence feedback. I went to Laurier myself over 30 years ago and told him it’s a great university community- but I’m sure a lot has changed. Lol.

Some heuristics for decision-making:

• Do you value flexibility?
• Do you value seeing the same faces in your classes for 4-5 years? (double-edged sword)
• Are the required courses aligned with what you want to study? (look here: uwaterloo.ca/academic-calendar/undergraduate-studies/catalog#/ use the search box to find your Bachelor of x - Honours plan)
• How will you spend your time outside of class?

Bad heuristics:

• Which program is more prestigious? (you sound insufferable)
• Which program will make me more money? (see above)
• Which program is safe from AI? (good luck predicting the future)
• Which program has better co-op? (postings are open to all programs generally)

if anyone has an extra ticket, please dm. thank you!

hi everyone! got into WLU MAC(Co-op) program for Fall 26’. as in international student, its scary & exciting at the same time. i tried yocket but it didnt work out.

any help on how to connect with students would be appreciated! any groups/communities/clubs i could join? please feel free to dm me if you have any further info on this :)

As per Laurier website, 80% students from this program selected for medical or other professional school, is this true?

How is this overall for premed in Canada?

I’m having difficulty choosing between the three. I’d love to hear from people actually in these programs (or grads).

My main goal is probably maximizing ROI long term, mainly:
- strong co-op opportunities
- good salary/career growth after graduation

Would really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who’ve gone through recruiting already.

title. Hey guys, I recently got deferred to SFM from AFM despite having a competitive average (95.5). I was really set on AFM, and am honestly super disappointed about the fact.

But I want to think positively and figure out if SFM is worth it? I want to establish a career in coorporate finance/m&a analyst. I also wanna pursue law in the future, but I need a strong backup plan in case it doesn't work out.

On paper, I know AFM would be better suited for this, but do you think I'd be able to achieve the same outcome with SFM?

I've gotten into Schulich and Laurier, but neither of them has guaranteed coop like Waterloo. also its waterloo coop lol.

If some current students could tell me what the reality of the program is, that'd be great! (specialization in later years, coop, extracurriculars, course load).

thanks so much

i dont know who is requesting them to make ui ux changes to ww every few months but i swear if they dont let you remain logged in for longer, im going to go ballistic. i was in the middle of writing a form, i hit a button, the next page says "log in" and form was not saved as a draft. i maybe started 10 minutes ago, but it was an important form that needed careful details written, damn! one more inconvenience and i

I am very grateful to have gotten into both UW SE and CS.

I was wondering if any current students or alumni of the two programs could give me insight of which program to commit to.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but this is what i've gathered so far:

SE is cohorted so you get to become really close with a lot of cracked ppl, but the courses are more difficult and less flexible.

CS gives you more flexibility with courses which gives you more free time to work on projects and just enjoy life.

Also, I was told that it is no longer possible to transfer from SE to CS in later years.

Anyways, all insight and advice would be very much appreciated!

I’m looking for recommendations for cleaning my car both inside and out. I can’t accommodate a service that comes to your residence, so would like a place to take it to. I’m also hoping to for a place that allows booking an appointment.

Thank you!

I am a mathematical physics students, 2B, trying to select courses:

Amath 333 is Calculus on Manifolds for Applied Mathematics and Physics,
Pmath 365 is differential geometry and 465 is

For the two courses, I have the following questions:

Course content?
Professor Quality?
Assignments/Test difficulties?

Perhaps a more advanced question:

To what extend does the content of the courses help physic(especially those atomic level or below)? Is it eough? Not enough? Too much?

Appreciate any response!

Hey, I’m taking PS101 and PS102 with Dr. Mindi Foster this term and was wondering if anyone else is in the same classes and wants to study together or make a group chat.

Also, if you’ve taken her before, any advice would be really appreciated like how her tests are, what to focus on, or anything that helped you do well.

How is the Health Sciences program here?

I'm currently considering going to the double degree (got both math and cs), and was wondering if it is easy (or even possible) to transfer from Laurier-side double degree to a single Math/CS degree at Waterloo, with co-op.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Has anyone successfully petitioned a renege decision? If so, would you be comfortable sharing what your circumstances were and/or what you think helped your case?

I’m trying to get a better understanding of what factors might make a difference in these situations. Any insight or personal experiences would be really appreciated.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good physiotherapist I can see for my shoulder issue? I'm seeing lots of options ranging from smaller places to big places with several locations/lots of PTs.

Preferably not too expensive as my benefit coverage for it isn't much and I'm not sure how many times I'll need to go.

My issue: One of my shoulders has some slight pain that I probably got from working out. The pain isn't much and only occurs while working out or when I need to lift something heavy. I've stopped working out for a few months now but it doesn't seem to have healed. And when I lift my shoulder I can sometimes hear a little noise. My day-to-day, otherwise, isn't really affected but I'd like to start working out again and play some sports now that the weather is getting better.

Hi everyone,

I need to get some documents attested/notarized and I’m looking for the cheapest notary options in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.

Does anyone have recommendations for affordable notaries? Also, do any places accept walk-ins, or is an appointment usually required?

I’d appreciate any suggestions, especially if you’ve used a budget-friendly service recently. Thanks!

To the seniors/alumni: Why did you choose waterloo, and do you regret it or are you happy with your decision?

friends last semester did not have this 🫠

I saw this poster in April, didn't get a proper picture so I haven't been able to scan the code. Went back and the poster was gone. Does anyone know where this is happening? (If it is still happening) and how is it? I'm really interested so any info help. Thanks!

Hey, I’m stuck between Western Social Sci (waitlisted from bmos) and Laurier BBA and need some honest advice.
My main goal is Law School (specifically looking at Bay Street later on), so I know my GPA basically needs to be perfect. I’m sitting at a 91 average right now, but the catch is I’m honestly pretty weak at math. I can grind, but it’s definitely not my strength and I usually have to work twice as hard to get the same grades as my friends in those subjects.
My mom is pushing BBA hard because it’s "safer," but I’ve wanted Western forever. I’m lowkey worried that the quantitative stuff in BBA (Accounting, Stats, Finance) is gonna tank my GPA and kill my chances for law school before I even start.

For anyone in BBA right now:

• How realistic is it to pull a 3.8+ (10-12 scale) if you aren't a math person?
• Is the workload/curving as bad as people say for those core courses?

• Am I better off just going to Western Social Sci where I can pick my modules and protect my GPA?
I don’t want to screw myself over just for a "safe" degree if it means I won't get into a good Law program. Be blunt is a high gpa reasonable in bba?

Not strong at writing courses like english, don’t want exams (if possible).

I work in one of the business complexes on Frobisher Drive, and more than once I’ve had someone knock on my office door and ask where they can find the immigration office. I did some googling and sure enough, a Service Canada immigration office is listed within my office complex. But it’s not physically there. I’ve worked in this complex for 3 and a half years now and I’ve walked all over looking for it and it is not there.

Does anyone know where this office has moved to? I would love to help folks find this office who need it, But I’ve never seen it and I don’t know where it moved to.

If you’re someone who is looking for an immigration office and someone tells you to go to Frobisher Drive, DONT GO!! The office isn’t there anymore and it’s difficult to get to via public transit! Don’t waste your time!!!

THIS IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS :(

I am trying to transfer myself to communication studies but I don't have the first year requirements to do so. I am going to be an undeclared student but in an arts major. Recently, OSAP applications for the 2026- 2027 term has come out and I'm having trouble applying. Since you are suppose to put in ur program and year I don’t know what I should do.

What would you recommend in this situation and who should I email? HELP!!!

Hello!

I live in Kitchener and am currently in university. I have applied to a hundred places probably and have had no luck at finding work.

If anyone in the area needs help pet or baby sitting, or really any day jobs, (minus suuuuper heavy labour or trade stuff because I don’t have the qualifications for that…), let me know! I can show you guys my resume and references upon request.

Thank you!
