UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO: IDEAS END HERE

*NO AFFILIATION to the University of Waterloo. Just an alumnus...alumni?? trying to remember good times

Things I Learned in 1st Year Uni

how to swear profusely

how to learn a course in 12 hours or less

how to barely pass a course

party hard

sleep is just a figment of your imagination

you can fit 3 people on a single bed

Sunday is the day of cram-time

labs are not fun

lab exams are even more useless

10% above class average is an excellent mark

you do not have to attend class to pass

podcasts will save your ass

pray to God that they bell curve everything

certain profs can’t teach shit

cushioned lecture hall seats and warm rooms put you to sleep

most TA’s don’t know what they’re doing

70% Exam? fail the exam, fail the course - nbd

you will not study for the last exam

alcohol is expensive

residence food will help your digestive tract work very efficiently (it sucks)

KEY LESSON: If you passed the course you’re doing well. Because some people don’t pass, and that’s when you know you’re in trouble.

White Supremacist Faith Goldy will not be speaking at the University of Waterloo after threats of protests brought security costs so high to make it unaffordable for her base.

Whatever the reason, stop giving white supremacists a public platform.

Deplatforming Nazi’s, works.

hey! I'm from england and I've kinda been looking at UW for BA psychology next year? can you tell me anything about what it's like there?

Wow! Well I graduated in 2015, and Im 100% sure things have changed since then, but I will tell you that I really enjoyed my time there! The people are pretty decent, theres places to go around the city - Victoria park.... uh the mall? Bingemans, there’s a Museum in Kitchener. I can leave this open for people to give in input, since I was there for Science my experience with faculty/professors might be different? Yeah :) If you do choose to go there I hope you have a fun time! The area is what made me choose to go back for nursing so if I chose to willingly come back after 5 years in the city, it can’t be too too bad :P 

I know the food choices have expanded dramatically (I LOVE YOU AUNTYS PLEASE OPEN A LOCATION IN RICHMOND HILL THANK YOU SO MUCH), and I know transportation is being heavily improved with the new light rail transit, so things should be easier?Just know that construction will never end at UW, my old don (an upper year that helps you out while in residence) complained about construction when he started in 2008 so it is eternal. You may or may not be attacked by geese?

Spring Research

I was offered a position with the pure mathematics department at the University of Waterloo doing Differential Geometry, and I have never been more excited for life! The professor I’m working under is amazing, and the topic is very interesting. I can’t wait for this term to end so I can start!

People Are Loving These Photos From A Party Where Every Guest Has To Do A 3-Minute PowerPoint Presentation

“Should you go over three minutes, you will be asked to finish your drink, and then resume giving your presentation.”

If you ever wondered how nerdy my school is, look no further than this article.

My school has four lecture halls completely flooded because they supposedly had to heat off over the holidays. The water goes above the black board and almost all the way to the top of the emergency exits at the front of the hall…

??? is everyone ok

[fuckyeahuwaterloo]

I’m actually not surprised, but I’m still very disappointed.

Hey, I was wondering about the quality of the Faculty of Arts Department at Waterloo. How much do you know about? Is it known to be ‘underfunded’

Keep in mind I graduated three years ago. Back when I attended it was visually underfunded but I’ve had friends attend their arts programs and have no trouble with it. By visually underfunded I mean lack of buildings and amenities (study space) but according to some friends it’s gone up since I graduated. I’m going to leave this open in case current students see this and they can share their opinion.

Is an 85 average high enough to get into Environmental Science??

I would suggest emailing the admission office for that faculty - and going on their website and reading up, but uhhhhhhh I applied in 2009 and my friend got in around that average?I’m sorry I’m really out of date so yeeeeee I’ll leave this open so other people can reply.
