2qzl9h	I'm really hoping to get into Waterloo for SoftEng. I'm on track for a 95 or above average, but still feel like a lot is up in the air because of my current knowledge of programming and my extracurriculars. I have several years of Java experience and not a whole lot else in regards to Web design or any other programming languages. I understand some simple sorting algorithms and OOP concepts but wouldn't know where to begin with networking or anything like that. I've started working with a Raspberry Pi and Python but it's still too early to consider that as experience. I'd like to think that my extracurriculars are good, being on the school athletic council, tutoring students in math and science, being on volleyball and cross country teams, and winning a few robotics competitions (one at a university with 43 other teams competing). But to me it still feels like there's more I should be doing when I look at some of the things other people have done! Can any of you share your insight?	0	ubiqu1ty	2015-01-01T01:10:14	1A gooSE	Software Engineers entering 1B, what were your marks, software experience, and extracurriculars like coming into Waterloo?	/r/uwaterloo/comments/2qzl9h/software_engineers_entering_1b_what_were_your/	false	false	false	246

2r0swq	So I'm trying to apply for a parking permit for the upcoming term, and it said that: > After completing checkout, your permit request will be processed by the parking department. You will need to show your ownership and insurance before you will receive your permit. Permits can be picked up at the times shown below. I don't technically own the car (my parents do), I'm just listed as a secondary operator for this vehicle on their insurance. Would this cause problems in obtaining the permit?

2r1sjm	In CIF I relatively often see (or saw last time I was there) people doing arm rack position carries, waiter's carries, crawls, ring rows, and similar. I was doing strength training workout routine previously (or currently), and the above mentioned exercises were included for stability purposes. I generally hate them, but the workout routine has been fairly effective. So I guess my question is: what group/semi-private/private options do I have for workouts? I remember seeing something like "warrior training" where you and a group meet a trainer 'x' times per week, and they give you a workout routine that you also do on your own, but I can't seem to find it online. I also see the private training listed, but I am not sure if they give you a schedule and whatnot. I am still working on my form so I really do need somebody doing form checks. Any suggestions? I don't necessarily have to stick to uwaterloo's gyms, but I am only here for 4 months so I can't sign up for any long term commitment things.	10	[deleted]	2015-01-01T18:58:38	null	Gym.	/r/uwaterloo/comments/2r1sjm/gym/	true	false	false	254

2r3r7w	I had an illness during my 1A term and doctors advised me to take a break from school, so with S&P approval I am restarting in Winter. Problem is I had a fees owing hold on my account before the break, so I was told to contact finance to clear it up and then I would be able to add my classes. So now I no longer have the hold but I'm still unable to add my courses as Quest says my "status is withdrawn or cancelled", and since it's the Break there is understandably no support available. Right now I am not enrolled in anything and I am hoping to attend my first class on the 5th when the school opens, though given the situation I'm not sure if that will be possible as I don't have assigned classes yet. I realize this is an issue that I need to contact them about as soon as possible if I want all to go well. My question is -- as it is the break, which office should I leave a message with? I tried the Registrar's office but it doesn't seem to have a voicemail, and I don't think Finance applies anymore as I'm no longer owing anything on Quest. Or is the problem with Quest? Just hoping for some advice as to the best course of action for right now, as I'm feeling pretty nervous about this and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks for the help.	4	takethelemonsback	2015-01-02T09:58:06	null	Got the go-ahead to add courses late due to illness but currently unable to, and it is the Holiday Break.

I ran my unofficial transcript on quest and now it says that I will be in my 2B term during my winter co-op term and I will be in my 3A term in my spring school term. But by then, I will have only taken 3 full-time academic terms. Is there a mistake?

2r9kuq	Hi, people! For the upcoming winter term, I am looking for people to play Star Wars Edge of Empire with me! For those of you who don't know what it is, its essentially a pen and paper roleplaying game set in the star wars universe (after episode 4). It mainly focuses on the underworld of Star Wars. So think Han Solo, The Hutts, bounty hunting, gambling, etc. You can play force sensitive characters in it, but don't expect to be waving light sabers right away. For those of you who aren't sure what pen and paper rpgs are, its essentially where you guys create characters (with their own statistics and stuff), and you roleplay situations out. I, the game master, sorta basically create the basic plot and non player characters, and react to whatever the player characters do. If you are a star wars fan, or even like video game rpgs in general, I believe this is a fun game! The ways the rules work allow us to create cinematic and narrative experiences similar to star war movies!	9	farispie	2015-01-03T22:12:05	null	Looking for people on campus/in the waterloo area to play Star Wars : Edge of Empire.	/r/uwaterloo/comments/2r9kuq/looking_for_people_on_campusin_the_waterloo_area/	false	false	false	275

I wish I seeked help early on when I was in first year because the last semester has really hurt me bad.

2rcut4	Mostly to newcomers. This is not only limited to /r/uwaterloo, however I'm posting this here since it's the school I wish to go to in the fall. I see trolls on forums / subreddits, usually towards newcomers who want some legitimate advice, but instead they get flamed / trolled / beat down by a condescending troll. Some examples: - Someone asks about comparing their high school marks with people who got into the program previously. Everybody comments saying how OP's 93% is bad and that they had a 96% when they BARELY got in because the cutoff was 95%. At this point you are probably trolling because you either want them to feel bad or you want to scare them off so you can get in with your barely 90% average. I really don't think you need a 96%+ to get into computer science. - Someone asks about how repeated high school courses would effect their admission average when they apply for something in the faculty of mathematics. Answers like "My penis is 8 inches long" are not acceptable and they don't even get removed. Remember, if you are posting on here you are representing the community of uwaterloo. It's a dick move to scare off newcomers. TL;DR never ask / search online about post secondary things.

I'm not sure if I should follow this as I've relatively barely any experience so I'd think pushing my resume to a 2 page one would be stretching things a bit far... should I go through with expanding my resume to 2 pages regardless?

(high70s-low80s to be specific) He REALLY wants to go to UW for math or cs, and here are the options that he's come up with. 1) graduate on time, another university and transfer into UW after first year 2) graduate on time, another program at UW, transfer into math or cs later 3) take an extra semester of high school, apply for spring admission for math or fall admission for math and cs He will have six 4U course grades available for university application regardless of his choice. If he does choose to take an extra semester, he plans on taking the bird 4U courses to boost his average up so there won't be any repeated courses. I'm in engineering and don't know too many people from math so I'm hoping to get some insight from other people on what will be the best option for my friend.

I like water and loo is kind of like that goalie we had years back and I got his autograph at a pregame event. I know it seems stupid to them but it makes me drown in joy every time I think of the name (although I'm still alive so its the good drowning) I went to college and got into UBC and SFU after taking like 10 courses there, did some try harding and got around ~95% average in all the first year courses like calc 1-2 linear/discrete math and some intro to programming courses. Now if I go there, I can live at home, eat food at home so I don't have to worry about cooking / finding a place to stay. If I applied to Waterloo and got in (talking about the cs co-op in the math department), it's gonna be a crap tonne of money.

I'm really hoping to get into Waterloo for SoftEng. I'm on track for a 95 or above average, but still feel like a lot is up in the air because of my current knowledge of programming and my extracurriculars. I have several years of Java experience and not a whole lot else in regards to Web design or any other programming languages. I understand some simple sorting algorithms and OOP concepts but wouldn't know where to begin with networking or anything like that. I've started working with a Raspberry Pi and Python but it's still too early to consider that as experience. I'd like to think that my extracurriculars are good, being on the school athletic council, tutoring students in math and science, being on volleyball and cross country teams, and winning a few robotics competitions (one at a university with 43 other teams competing). But to me it still feels like there's more I should be doing when I look at some of the things other people have done! Can any of you share your insight?

So I'm trying to apply for a parking permit for the upcoming term, and it said that: > After completing checkout, your permit request will be processed by the parking department. You will need to show your ownership and insurance before you will receive your permit. Permits can be picked up at the times shown below. I don't technically own the car (my parents do), I'm just listed as a secondary operator for this vehicle on their insurance. Would this cause problems in obtaining the permit? Has anyone encountered this before? Thanks.

In CIF I relatively often see (or saw last time I was there) people doing arm rack position carries, waiter's carries, crawls, ring rows, and similar. I was doing strength training workout routine previously (or currently), and the above mentioned exercises were included for stability purposes. I generally hate them, but the workout routine has been fairly effective. So I guess my question is: what group/semi-private/private options do I have for workouts? I remember seeing something like "warrior training" where you and a group meet a trainer 'x' times per week, and they give you a workout routine that you also do on your own, but I can't seem to find it online. I also see the private training listed, but I am not sure if they give you a schedule and whatnot. I am still working on my form so I really do need somebody doing form checks. Any suggestions? I don't necessarily have to stick to uwaterloo's gyms, but I am only here for 4 months so I can't sign up for any long term commitment things.

I had an illness during my 1A term and doctors advised me to take a break from school, so with S&P approval I am restarting in Winter. Problem is I had a fees owing hold on my account before the break, so I was told to contact finance to clear it up and then I would be able to add my classes. So now I no longer have the hold but I'm still unable to add my courses as Quest says my "status is withdrawn or cancelled", and since it's the Break there is understandably no support available. Right now I am not enrolled in anything and I am hoping to attend my first class on the 5th when the school opens, though given the situation I'm not sure if that will be possible as I don't have assigned classes yet. I realize this is an issue that I need to contact them about as soon as possible if I want all to go well. My question is -- as it is the break, which office should I leave a message with? I tried the Registrar's office but it doesn't seem to have a voicemail, and I don't think Finance applies anymore as I'm no longer owing anything on Quest. Or is the problem with Quest? Just hoping for some advice as to the best course of action for right now, as I'm feeling pretty nervous about this and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks for the help.

Hi, I am a 2A Math co-op student, I skipped my first summer co-op term to screw around, but I took 1 online class during that term, so I came into my 2A fall term with 5.5 credits. I took 5 courses this fall and I have a co-op term this winter term. I ran my unofficial transcript on quest and now it says that I will be in my 2B term during my winter co-op term and I will be in my 3A term in my spring school term. But by then, I will have only taken 3 full-time academic terms. Is there a mistake? I'm a little worried.

I can code in those languages but I would need to look-up stuff and it would take me a while since I tend to forget languages if I do not practice. However, I am a quick learner so I should be able to learn something quickly that a job requires. I have side projects but they aren't really that great. How is the easy is it to get a job after first year? What are the usual requirements for a QA testing job? What kinds of coding questions in interviews? Would I need to know SQL? What other languages should I know. Thanks a lot!

Hi, people! For the upcoming winter term, I am looking for people to play Star Wars Edge of Empire with me! For those of you who don't know what it is, its essentially a pen and paper roleplaying game set in the star wars universe (after episode 4). It mainly focuses on the underworld of Star Wars. So think Han Solo, The Hutts, bounty hunting, gambling, etc. You can play force sensitive characters in it, but don't expect to be waving light sabers right away. For those of you who aren't sure what pen and paper rpgs are, its essentially where you guys create characters (with their own statistics and stuff), and you roleplay situations out. I, the game master, sorta basically create the basic plot and non player characters, and react to whatever the player characters do. If you are a star wars fan, or even like video game rpgs in general, I believe this is a fun game! The ways the rules work allow us to create cinematic and narrative experiences similar to star war movies!

This past semester has been my worst so far, I struggled with a lot of things and had a lot of stuff on my mind. I won't go too deep into my issue but I always struggled with some mental health issues for which I began to seek help right around exam time. I wish I seeked help early on when I was in first year because the last semester has really hurt me bad. I started with a very rocky start and worked hard to maintain a good avg but last term took too much of a toll on me with 2 fails and 1 wds. I have read previously that some students have managed to get their previous failed courses wiped from their transcripts via the petition, if I were to do the same what would be the best route of action for me? PS: I have already spoken to a mental health officer and visited a counsellor during my last week prior to the winter break.

Hi, My dad graduated Waterloo in 1984. I've looked for his year on the wall of the 3rd floor, but it only goes up to a later year. It's my final semester and I'd like to find it if possible. Does anyone know where older math class photos are?

Mostly to newcomers. This is not only limited to /r/uwaterloo, however I'm posting this here since it's the school I wish to go to in the fall. I see trolls on forums / subreddits, usually towards newcomers who want some legitimate advice, but instead they get flamed / trolled / beat down by a condescending troll. Some examples: - Someone asks about comparing their high school marks with people who got into the program previously. Everybody comments saying how OP's 93% is bad and that they had a 96% when they BARELY got in because the cutoff was 95%. At this point you are probably trolling because you either want them to feel bad or you want to scare them off so you can get in with your barely 90% average. I really don't think you need a 96%+ to get into computer science. - Someone asks about how repeated high school courses would effect their admission average when they apply for something in the faculty of mathematics. Answers like "My penis is 8 inches long" are not acceptable and they don't even get removed. Remember, if you are posting on here you are representing the community of uwaterloo. It's a dick move to scare off newcomers. TL;DR never ask / search online about post secondary things. You're probably better off emailing the school you want to apply to.

So I just got here this term and immediately wanted to explore the sushi places nearby. I saw that a lot of people spoke good things about "Tomu Sushi" It is pretty close to where I am staying so I decided to give them a try. I called the number on their website ( tomusushi.com ) and ordered. I went to go picked it up and noticed the place is now called "Suki Sushi". When I called I asked if it was Tomu sushi and they confirmed it was the right place. Does anyone know what is up here? New management, new name? Should I be staying away from this sushi place? I haven't tried any of the food yet, I just decided to post because I was sort of confused about the whole naming thing and them still calling themselves Tomu sushi if they are indeed a new place/management.

I'm a biology co-op major and currently I am still trying to find a co-op job for my first work-term... I applied to around 60 jobs (I can barely find any jobs that are fairly relevant to my program!) on jobmine and I was only able to land 1 interview that I was not accepted into. I've spoken to my advisor about my problem and she suggested that I should try to elaborate more on my education section of my resume which would push me to a 2 page resume. I'm not sure if I should follow this as I've relatively barely any experience so I'd think pushing my resume to a 2 page one would be stretching things a bit far... should I go through with expanding my resume to 2 pages regardless? My advisor also suggested that I should try looking outside of jobmine by introducing yourself to the managers of small companies and giving out your resume/cover letter to them. I was wondering if anyone was able to find a co-op job this way? Thinking about doing that makes me feel nervous as it would essentially mean I may have to do an interview on spot... Lastly, does anyone have any tips/stories on what I should do/if you were in the same shoes as me for coop job hunting?

Hi everyone, my friend from Kitchener is in his final year of high school and wants to go to UW. He is an international student and his grades aren't great at the moment. (high70s-low80s to be specific) He REALLY wants to go to UW for math or cs, and here are the options that he's come up with. 1) graduate on time, another university and transfer into UW after first year 2) graduate on time, another program at UW, transfer into math or cs later 3) take an extra semester of high school, apply for spring admission for math or fall admission for math and cs He will have six 4U course grades available for university application regardless of his choice. If he does choose to take an extra semester, he plans on taking the bird 4U courses to boost his average up so there won't be any repeated courses. I'm in engineering and don't know too many people from math so I'm hoping to get some insight from other people on what will be the best option for my friend. Thank you in advance! :)

Hello, I am an international student and I am filling the AIF so I have some questions to students who already did theirs. Firstly, the courses section is a bit confusing because I don't know what is the level of my course. For example, I take Biology in a public school and we have two levels foundation or advanced so is this considered a level, because foundation doesn't fit in the level blank. Secondly, In the About you- Part B they have a section for additional information can I just write about anything off-topic.Thirdly, I am applying for CS co-op so in the Math part they ask if i wrote some math contests that I've never heard about nor my school so if I didn't write one would this affect my admission. Thanks in Advance.

The reason I ask is because I've heard many conflicting opinions about the course. Some have said it's very easy and others said it was hard. I didn't have a very high average in 1A and I want to bring it up and also have some time to work on side-projects for COOP. I don't think I'm the type of person to take courses just because they're easy, I enjoy learning. I'm just worried about getting my first COOP job and I think that should be a bigger priority in first year. Has anyone ever taken this course as a first year (or even upper year)? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks edit: forgot to mention, I did one year at a different university so I have a lot of transfer credits that satisfy lots of the breadth and depth requirements. Astronomy would cover my last requirement, that being the science requirement.

I'm currently a Waterloo student and I know University allows you to take elective courses at other Universities and transfer the credit to Waterloo. Is it true for transferring credits from a college to UW as well? Also, has any one transferred credit from a college like Mohawk to University of Waterloo? What was your experience?

How do you choose which prof to ask? Is there an URA advisor I can ask these questions to? How do you convince a prof that you are capable of doing an URA or that you have relevant enough experience to be useful?

So I was talking to my friend and she got a snapchat from someone apparently holding The Tool in the U of T engineering pub. Is this true, because if it is we have a job to do.

Does anyone think thats unreasonable? That's what my parents say but how cool would it be to graduate from a school called Waterloo? I like water and loo is kind of like that goalie we had years back and I got his autograph at a pregame event. I know it seems stupid to them but it makes me drown in joy every time I think of the name (although I'm still alive so its the good drowning) I went to college and got into UBC and SFU after taking like 10 courses there, did some try harding and got around ~95% average in all the first year courses like calc 1-2 linear/discrete math and some intro to programming courses. Now if I go there, I can live at home, eat food at home so I don't have to worry about cooking / finding a place to stay. If I applied to Waterloo and got in (talking about the cs co-op in the math department), it's gonna be a crap tonne of money. But still, I feel like in 10 years or 20 or whatever when I look back I can be like I graduated from Waterloo! Not emphasizing the 'prestige' I don't even care about that, just the name I find to be kick ass. Just image a japanese guy saying waterloo 'wata rloo' how cool would that be.. and BTW would I start in 2nd year or do I have to do first year again..at SFU/UBC they said I can start 2nd year but I looked at this subreddit for a few days and saw some conflicting answers... .. Thanks -Peter

I'm completely freaking over my co-op, I don't have much experience or too many skills to put on my resume. I'm in cs so every person in my program knows 12 languages and I only know 2, and those too just okay. I feel like there's no way I'm getting a co-op, even if I do, it will be disaster because the employer expects every cs co-op to be a self taught expert. This shit is just really bothering me, and I guess I just wanna ask those more experienced, am I panicking too much? Or am I fucked and should apply to McDonald's asap?

I'm not too familiar with the North American education system. Is it considered bad form to attend lectures for courses for which you are not enrolled in ? What about different lectures (sections) for a course which you are enrolled in ? I ask because I have 8h30 classes everyday and I will probably miss a couple and would like to attend later lectures with a different section. (note that the course I want to attend has an enrollment capacity of 191 and the room it's held in has a seating capacity of 192)
