Management dumped out over 500 dollars worth of my items in my bedroom (not common room) including minifridge, and vacuum in between terms despite being an active tenant during a "move out inspection" despite not moving out.

They have also dumped out all of my keys (200 dollars worth of key deposit) and have not responded to any of emails or phone calls .

hi! i’m moving into residence in 3 days, and honestly finally hit me HARD that it’s actually happening lol. i’ve always been a homebody and homesickness usually hits really hard- so while i’m honestly really excited for waterloo, i’m also so sad to be leaving everyone i care about for so long

this board probably gets posts like this from undergrads a lot, but i’m hoping to hear some advice on how to deal with it. i am super excited, ready for orientation, and ready to meet tons of people. beyond that though, how do you cope once classes start?

Western is getting chainsmokers and even Laurier has some concert, I couldn’t find who Waterloo is getting…

what up uwaterloo

my name is [redacted] and I was able to bag a beautiful young lady; we'll call her j

j would frequent this subreddit, and as a result of this, she would often comment on ny reddit posts as I am quite a frequent poster. Naturally, I messaged her from multiple accounts and eventually she agreed to hang out!

now shes my girlfriend lets go

anyways tips:

dress ok

even if she blocks you 3 times, you still have a chance (trust me)

like the same kind of music as her (she has the best music taste so)

be funny *important*

treat her like a princess of a middle-class township

shit on her exes and explain why you are better

if she asks for anything, you do it

ok goodnight reddit

So I just learned that you aren’t allowed to have personal wifi routers in Waterloo dorm. I kinda need to connect my 3d printer to the wifi. Do they actually care? Also do they care about mobile hotspot from windows computers?

I was tired of managing a million different versions of my resume so I made this website to solve it. It's not live yet, but you can run it locally. Would love to hear feedback or if anyone wants to contribute feel free to make a PR. If you like it, give the project a star.
The website allows you to make different versions of your resume, based on different sections. You can drag and drop these sections easily, rather than managing latest directly. This makes it easy to have a frontend focused resume/backend focused resume etc, and project and experience sections can be reused

Are the horror stories about REV true? Is it really that bad? It sounds like I got screwed with the random housing 🥀

Hi guys!! I'm an incoming freshman, and bc I'm international I actually don't know anyone around here😵‍💫 does anyone play deadlock and would like to play together? I'm not really good at the game so playing ranked together might be hard because of the new system 🥲 (my rank is embarrassingly low)

I also am open to learning other games if anyone's willing to teach me 🙂‍↕️ (I've been wanting to try league but not sure how to start)

Also if there's any girls who plays games please feel free to reach out!! ( I'm a girl who really wants some other girls to play games with 🥹)

First year incoming student. Just wondering whether I need to bring my own.

Also, what do people usually use to store laundry as I know the space is pretty tight?

Is tenant insurance mandatory? I've asked a couple of friends, and they said no. But I'm wondering if that has possibly changed since they moved in?

Planning my schedule and trying to decide if stacking AFM 205, 207, and 208 (half credits) in the first half is a bad idea, or if I should split one off into the second half instead to take with 206. Also taking ECON 102 online alongside, so that's not really a scheduling concern. AFM 285 is new, so not sure how heavy it is.

Anyone done this combo before? Worth keeping the three half credits together or better to spread them out? Thanks!

Dear Reddit,

Is my current second year course planning reasonable?

For context, I am more or less set on doing CM + CO double major + Computing minor. I also think Calculus is one of my harder subjects.

I am planning:

2A: Math 235/237, Stat 230, CS 234, one more light elective

2B: Math 239, CO 250, Stat 231, rest to be determined. I want to take CS 246 enriched.

I am really worried about 2B being too hard. I want to pass with good grades in both terms. Any thoughts, perspectives, or condolences?

Edit: I heard CS 234 is light work for people with experience with Python. Also Linear Algebra is the math I find easier.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of taking CO 250 this upcoming Fall term as a non-Math faculty student. The course content seems pretty interesting to me and I do meet the prereqs, so I was considering taking it. Just had a few questions to get a better idea of what to expect:

1. Does anyone have any experience with the instructors for the Fall term (Jane Gao/Kevin Shu), and could share some feedback? I wasn't able to find any feedback on UWFlow for these instructors for CO 250.

2. Just wondering how CO courses generally are? Are there a lot of assignments/quizzes during the term? Are the exams more proof-focused or application-focused?

Thanks.

Is transferring to engineering actually possible in march? I’m going into math after a tough rejection from mechatronics (97.5% top 6 avg) and I’m just not super excited about it. Is this normal to feel disappointed like this? I want to have a goal to transfer, so I can be motivated for high grades. If I am locked in and prove my worth with very high first term grades, is there a chance?

Is it fine that I haven’t applied for my wat card yet?

If anyone is looking for an extra to join their flag football intramural team this fall lmk 😁

I have my move in time slot on 4th,but move-in begins on 3rd. Can I collect my keys and wattcard on 3rd?

I am a first-year student enrolled in the Math Faculty (non-Co-op), hoping to transfer into Co-op. What GPA/grades should I aim for, and are there any other requirements I should know about?

Program: https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/programs/biochemistry
BIOL 130: https://uwaterloo.ca/academic-calendar/undergraduate-studies/catalog#/courses/HyVTUKV7F3

I definitely want to do very well in BIOL 130 but I just wasn't sure if it completely relies on prior high-school knowledge, or whether it is essentially a glorified recap (which would allow me to get up to pace in time for newer content!)

Also to note, I have a relatively strong background in chemistry and organic chemistry (as well as physics if thats relevant for problem solving), so I'm not going in with no academic experience whatsoever!

On the note of "taking biology in hs," i cannot 😭. im in IB so our timetables were set in stone for 2+ years, and back then i wasn't smart enough to realize. However I have a passion for this stuff, especially chemistry and medicine.

However if it'll be really hard or unlikely to pass, then I can reconsider and do my original path; engineering or afm/econ.

I'm definitely able to self study a bit, but it is unlikely that I'll be able to master all of the content due to the sheer amount of content I have outstanding right now for school! But if light self studying is all it takes, that's also completely fine.

Lmk if there's also other things I should know.

Does anyone know what date afm orientation is on?

Hello I’m an incoming first year and was just wondering if I had to take a watcard photo online or if I could just take one in person and get my card in person then and there?

Hey, I am an upcoming grade 12 student in Mississauga and I'm looking to apply to Waterloo for Architecture.

The portfolio requirements on the website are pretty vague and I'm wondering if someone is able to give me some suggestions as to what the admissions office is looking for in terms of portfolio work. Are there perhaps specific themes that typically tend to do well, or specific forms of media they prefer more than others. Does it typically work better to stick to media you are proficient at, or better to venture out of your comfort zone?

If possible if someone knows about some service or website that assesses portfolios for these universities or perhaps even a current student who would be so kind as to contact me personally and offer their help that would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your help!
