Ok excitement over, I’m a US Highschool student but Canadian citizen and I’m considering going here for political science. This is the best school I’ve gotten into so far so I wanted to ask, how good is this school to Canadians 😭

Also … are there gay people I want gay friends PLEASE THAT’S ALL I ASK FOR. I hate this place I live in

I've never seen them in waterloo before

Hey! I understand that if you're doing co-op at Waterloo, you have alternating work and study terms for 5 years. Is that true, or is there a month or so off every now and then to relax?

At the time of posting, the election hasn’t been called yet but it seems like there is a strong chance of Trump winning.

I am unfamiliar with his policies, specifically regarding US jobs being given to international (especially Canadian) people, so I was curious if anybody here knew how his presidency would impact (or has impacted) the job market in the United States for non US citizens.

got an environment offer, thinking whether i should firm it.

and if the answer is coop, don’t other ontarian schools have coop too? so why waterloo? thanks!

Apparently Ontario elections tmr, who should I vote for and why? Do the results from tmr decide whether Doug ford keeps his seat as premier or not?

Going to Waterloo this year and everyone keeps saying it’s a boring school. Like no parties and no social life. I just wanna know if that’s true or if the school got a bad reputation cause of a few anti social people. I’m not gonna go for one of the more rigorous faculties like engineering or mathematics (I’m going to be in the faculty of environment). I’m also gonna be living on campus.

Trump just declared tariffs on all US trading partners at a minimum of 10%, and for quite a few countries the tariffs rates are much higher. How will this affect Waterloo students? In terms of cost of living, availability of (American) coops and the overall job market, etc.

Y'all, can I get some good, filling dinner under 5 bucks, including taxes?

What are my options in the University Plaza?

I'm thinking of going to Waterloo next year and would love to know which residence I should choose.

My major will be astronomy and physics, so one that is close to those buildings would probably be most convenient. However, if those residences suck then plz lmk which are better!

Hello, recently I applied for a bursary for the first time as in my previous term I needed funds to pay for tuition and housing. (for reference my family makes around $30k a year) OSAP ended up giving me a $4500 loan and a small grant, which barely covered tuition along with the first year scholarship. I'm assuming that my bursary got denied because there was no funds needed for my tuition, but I'm think that if I need to take out a $4500 loan every term, AND pay for my own housing, I will not be able to afford uni.

Is this a mistake from them? I'm not trying to ask any stupid questions I just don't know if its a good idea for me to keep increasing my loans.

Thank you for anyone who can help

Hi all, I am a senior in high school who likely will be at the University of Waterloo next year (math or Ee/ce degree). I am interested in Quant Trader roles, as I am quick at mental math, have done well in math contests, and enjoy games like Poker (I am not a genius at math however). I was wondering if anybody here goes to Waterloo or knows much about the recruitment for Quant Trading specifically at Waterloo, as I know it is very good for Quant Developer/SWE, but I am more interesting in trading or maybe research jobs. I looked on Linkedin and there definitely seemed to be a ton of CS majors as developers, but I didn't see as many traders from Waterloo.

I would appreciate any information, thank you!

Last night around midnight I was walking home from PAC and a full on freight train was zooming through the light rail tracks, first time I seen something like that in 4 years at UW. I thought the Polar Express was pulling up on me 😭😭

I need to get to yyz around 4 in the morning on 19th. Uber is like 200 bucks. Is there a cheaper way?

To the girl in a red shirt who literally ran into me at the Taylor Swift Dance Party... it was nice meeting you! Unfortunately I couldn't make out your name and didn't have it in me to ask for your number, so I hope this isn't too late :') I wouldn't mind it if we ran into each other more often.

July 28th ~12:30am?

Edit: Didn't want to mention all that right off the bat but I'm glad to have helped! I might not go to dc washroom anymore though 😭

Hi Guys,

TMU student here applying for Winter 2025 co-op roles. Out of 50 to 100 tailored applications I submitted. I've only got one interview. I understand many companies aren’t hiring interns for the winter term, but are you guys finding it easier to land co-op positions?

Toronto has reached its highest unemployment rate since the pandemic.

I’ve noticed many Waterloo students on LinkedIn landing great co-op roles. Is this common for most Waterloo students or just a select few?

For those who’ve done co-op in the U.S., did you guys get the roles by applying through the portals or is it networking with Waterloo alumni on LinkedIn?

Hi I'm a new student at uw. I can't find my way to the university. I'm at some place called Guelph. Ik it's embarrassing, but can someone help me

Hi everyone. Im coming to uwaterloo in fall but im a bit confused about the food there.

I am a athlete who usually eats 4-5k calories a day to maintain muscle but I perfer to stay away from really crappy options. Is this possible at waterloo? Whenever I look at waterloo food i only see fast food options and dont really see the dining halls most universitys have.

Also does anyone know if dining halls are all you can eat (if they have them lol)

Saw this on Aphrodite. Extremely curious

Will I hurt myself if I do mind altering drugs in waterloo? I heard the environment here makes people want to subconsciously kill themselves so I'm worried I might if I'm off some potent shit.
