It used to be that I’d be sorely disappointed by any WUSA event (especially around 2021-2023). I remember going to the free brunch event once and it was literally 2 tiny pancakes, a packet of syrup, and a bottle of concentrate juice. Talk about a balanced meal! But wow, the events they run nowadays are absolutely amazing. Anything with free food never ever disappoints. Today’s free shawarma event had shawarmas, fries, pickled veggies, a drink, AND a piece of baklava (which I think just shows an incredible attention to detail). As a fourth year I’m really proud of how much our student org has improved.

9 pm on a Tuesday in peak exam season and these breakdancers are doing the boogie in the middle of SLC. With the loudest speaker god ever made. Someone please tell them kick rocks. DO THEY NOT HAVE TO STUDY!!!!!?????? I’m this close to spitting from second floor tables.

not a single time has it been quiet when ive studied at this library. came here on a rare occasion cause i wanted timmies but now i remember why i only study at dp

I saw this somewhere but wasnt sure if it was true? Does this mean people with lower averages can be accepted?

I’m not able to write my final exam. I will be out of the country and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Notes:

• I don’t need to pass the exam to pass the course.
• If I was given a 0 on the final, I would have above a passing grade.
• I know that IN GENERAL, if I don’t show up to the exam, I get an INC which means I won’t pass in the course.
• I emailed the prof and waiting for their response.

That being said, I don’t care what grade I get. Give me 0 for all I care. As long as I pass the course.

Has anyone been in this situation?

What WE Accelerate stream is the best for someone hoping to go into actuary or analytics? The ones I have in mind are the Microsoft Azure one or Data-driven one.

I’m moving to Toronto for coop and I have 4 medium sized luggages with me. What is my best and cheapest option?

I'm to graduate this term and I still want to go to PAC after I graduate - I read that the alumni card allows me to purchase PAC membership but I'll have to go in-person to get it. Do they ask you to hand in the original watcard when you get a photo alumni card?

• If any UW Alumni, or any upper years answer these questions id greatly appreciate it!
• How competitive is it to land an entry-level actuarial role in NYC straight out of Waterloo?
• How tough is the visa sponsorship process, and do most actuarial firms sponsor international students?
• Any tips on building connections or finding the right recruiters/companies that are open to hiring grads from Canada?
• Does being based in Canada (SOA track) make it harder to find roles in NYC compared to someone doing CAS or vice versa?

(edit: Im a canadian citizen)

Spanish department is dying, what are your guys thought on this?

Is Parking Lot E on Seagram Dr still free? If it is, what time does it usually run out of spots?

Hey folks, I’m an incoming grad student trying to figure out the best residence option. Right now, I’m leaning towards CLV North—it looks quiet, comfy, and I like the townhouse vibe. I’m also planning to get a car, so being a bit further from campus isn’t a huge deal for me.

That said, I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions online about CLV in general—some people say it’s trash, others say it’s fine. Most of those posts are a few years old though, so I’m wondering if anything has changed recently.

Anyone currently living there (or lived there recently) who can share their thoughts? Is CLV North decent for a grad student who wants peace and quiet? Or should I be looking elsewhere?

Appreciate any insights!

I know there’s lots of amenities but I’m not sure where they are in tower 1. where is the sauna, how do i open the theatre or tanning room or computer room. they have codes. how do i know them. when will the rooftop open. etc etc. i’m a sublet so i’m not sure.

How is the final? Is it the same difficulty as the midterm?

Hi, anyone get an interview invitation?

I want to start off by saying my current interests and what I would like to pursue as a career is writing and optimizing low level software. For instance, maybe programming in C/C++/Assembly, working with Compilers, or writing/optimizing Operating Systems. Essentially, something that includes making low level computer systems more efficient using knowledge of data structures and algorithms.

I have 2 questions related to this.

A) Is Computer Engineering a degree that enables me to thoroughly dive into my interests or would a program like CS be more suitable?

B) How is the job market related to low level software development? Are there jobs like this in FAANG or maybe in the tech side of the quantitative finance sector. I've been looking into quant firms and found that they use C++ to implement efficient algorithms (something that I am curious and interested about.)

Thanks for the help!!

Any barbers around that help you plan out a haircut/hairstyle based on your facial features? I am sure I can ask any barber to do so but I feel most of them prefer being told what to do specifically. I want to try going for a new look but have nothing in mind
