My partner and I are looking to move to Kitchener. We don’t have the best of credit but we are high income earners which obviously doesn’t matter. Any suggestions on what we should do? We are on a time crunch and bigger rental companies are likely to decline us ( we feel)

Tyvm!

Just wanted to give anyone a heads up that’s driving on Fairway that there is a MASSIVE square pothole in the right lane. There’s a sign but it’s not blocked off and I hit it HARD this morning because there was a car in the other lane so I couldn’t swerve around it. Kitchener is genuinely the worst city I’ve ever driven in for potholes. They should really have it blocked off.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and how much it costed u. it says on the website itll cost 1500

Hey guys! I was wondering if there’s any discord or group chats for SYDE students starting school in fall 25. Or if anyone is committed to SYDE i’d love to meet you!

Just was looking for any recommendations from students on what to choose as a first year political science student.

hi, i was wondering my chance of getting co-op. My gpa is decent, volunteer experience is decent (1 vp role for 2nd year and an analyst role in 1st year), but the thing i worry about most is my job experience. I'm still finding jobs for this summer but i was wondering just in case i couldn't find anything this summer. I worked as a tutor from 2023 to 2024 and as a cashier for three months before that, but those jobs weren't in Canada, so i'm a bit worried. I do have an unpaid position this summer, but i don't think that counts.

any advice would be greatly appreciated 😭😭

Hi yall, I received my offer letter for my next co op job after getting a match on Waterloo works and in it it says they need a drivers abstract with a photo of my g licence . The thing is, I don’t have my g licence and won’t be able to get it by the time I start. I’m assuming it’s for the ability to ride company vehicles but I had previously presumed I would not need it for my position, and even in the interview was it never brought up if I had this requirement.

So what’s my best course of action? Will I most likely lose my offer?

Can someone share their experience in user experience program?

I am an undergraduate student entering UW for civil engineering. During the first year guarantee housing process, I put all the colleges above campus housing as I heard St Jerome's was good. I mostly expected to be put into Campus housing anyways as that was the usual experience especially as an engineering student. However, I got the admission into Renison and in hindsight, didn't know much about what I just registered for. To my understanding, it is around a 10 minute walk from the engineering department which isn't too bad however, I was just wondering what the general rep for the housing is. If Renison is made up of lots of undergraduates, whether maintenance is good, what the campus might be known for? Just any general advice I could get as someone entering UW knowing nearly no friends and residing in Renison.

Hey guys, I’m planning to attend the BBA program and want to get a head start on scheduling my courses. I know the official course selection date is June 25, but I’ve noticed that for BBA, all the BU courses are pre-assigned rather than chosen by students. When I checked LORIS, I see that I’m only enrolled in BU111 on Mondays and Wednesdays so far. However, the times for my other required BU courses haven’t been assigned to me yet. Because of this, I’m unable to fully plan my schedule before June 25 since I don’t know when most of my courses will be scheduled. I’ve also seen other students who already have their full schedules planned, which makes me a bit concerned. What should I do in this situation?

I'm admitted to a graduate program at Waterloo. It starts in August, but I have no information from anyone. Nothing on registering, billing! housing. I've reached out via e-mail, but no one is responding. Anyone else experience this?

What’s the punishment for being caught with AC in UWP? Couldn’t find the punishment in the terms and conditions only that it’s not allowed.

Asking for a friend (They’re very serious about this) Thanks 🙏

I want to pick up some large cargo from Etobicoke. I could use someone who has a truck or cargo van or similar and who is willing to drive there and back.

Timeline is a bit flexible, but basically it would be in the middle of the day this or next week.

Would pay $80+gas

It seems that Uber/Lyft/Dolly/TaskRabbit aren't quite what I'm looking for, so I'll try Reddit?

I was matched with the company in Cycle 1, after which I immediately sent an email asking about job details to the email address from the "Employer Contact Details" section in WaterlooWorks.

However, I got no reply for almost 2 weeks. Throughout the 2 weeks, I sent another email just in case they did not see the first one.

It is displeasing waiting for their reply, especially for so long. Are there anything I could do?

If you know of a tried and true, reliable place to store a tent trailer in KW, please post below. TIA.

So I'm getting ready for first-year course registration and I'm looking at English courses and for both of the courses I want to register for, there's one class that's 1h 50m long while the other classes are all 50m. What's the difference between them? I'm wondering so that I know whether or not to choose the longer class but also what I'll be missing out on, because the time of my German classes mean that I won't be able to choose the longer English class in fall term.

I am going into mech eng this fall, I am super interested in product design and perhaps working in the biomedical or automotive industries. However, I don't know if I am ready to close the door on the more tech related side of eng. With that in mind, should I try to lock in super hard in 1A to switch into tron or is it better to stay in mech and take the tron or AI options (I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about tron and was warned against it by alumni when applying). Any thoughts?

Hello! So My family is planning to move in kitchener by next month, and I'm a highschool student and I'm wondering what highschool is the best to enroll in kitchener, based on students, teachers, academically, and club wise.

Biking home from work downtown King Street. Guy in a fancy car passes SUPER close, honks and screams at me, then at the next intersection does a U-turn and comes back around to scream "fuck you bitch!!" just in case I hadn't gotten the message yet, I guess? Super fun times 👍

wish we had bike lanes along King Street like they have in Waterloo where it's an extension of the sidewalk 😭

(Drivers I promise I don't want to be in your lane any more than you want me there!)

Hey all. I'm looking into getting a masters and the MCC looks interesting. Is there anyone here who's taken it? What's the course like? What electives did you take? And how are the post degree job prospects?

I went to McMaster for Arts & Sci (Comp Lit major) back in the day, and have a more recent graduate diploma in economics in the UK.

Okay so I am going into BBA in the fall and am currently trying to pick out my courses. When I saw the Laurier course registration email i noticed it said that there is a required calculus test if you want to go into MA103 (Calculus one). I've already taken grade 12 calculus but am stuck thinking why anyone would ever choose calculus one over intro to calc?? I heard that intro to calc is literally grade 12 calculus so if you can choose either or why would I choose Calc one?? Is there any percs or downfalls when choosing either or? Will I need to eventually take Calc one later on if I choose intro to Calc instead? Please let me know!

I'm an incoming student and just wanted some advice before I select courses.

Hi everyone, I've been renting an industrial shop here in the city for 20+ years, and out of nowhere my landlord sent me an email telling me I have 60 days to vacate my unit. I've not changed anything in my business and never missed a payment. Our contract expired a long time ago and have been on month by month for over a decade now. We are in a very busy season right now and can't afford to just drop everything and start searching for a new shop to rent. We've invested a lot of money into outfitting the shop to our needs and it won't be so easy to move everything, and of course very expensive to outfit a new place out. He's been raising our rent at least 20% per year to match the current rental market. From what I'm reading online, he has all the rights to kick me out since it's not a residential situation that the tenant board would oversee. My guess is that he's thinking of selling the entire building (10+ units) and maybe putting in a very light industrial business in my unit, so it looks good once his building is for sale. Has anyone else experience this? Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: May need a shop (1000-1500 sq feet) in September if anyone has any leads (KW only)

Does the online midterm get graded by an auto grader? there is a practice midterm which gave me 0 on my output questions, I believe most of those answers were right. And I had another inquiry about the coding part, will will be graded 0 if there is a small error?because we won’t be able to know the error on respondus lockdown

Am I allow to change the timetable section for BU111? On the Laurier website it says keep switching between “Generated Results” until you get one that fits your time table. But when I click to the next timetable, it doesn’t have the “Enrolled” beside BU111.

I been reading some stuff about tron and ppl always saying like tron is a mistake lmao, is it valid? Also is it hard
