cnje9m7	1	t3_2rlf9s	t1_cnh3bhj	Ruleof2	Of course, it might not come to that extreme. My parents originally were expecting 90s from me, like high school, but i slowly coaxed them down from their and now they just push me (but don't force me) for 80s.	2015-01-09T07:15:10	2A Nano	false	false	800
cnjec3f	1	t3_2ogkfk	t1_cnhso12	wh2lee	I just wowed because I can almost be sure that you are working at C company. I did not even know that those crazy firms like Citadel hire Waterloo students. What type of early co-op internships do you recommend to build up skills for later coops that can ultimately get me a quant-based job?	2015-01-09T07:19:52	null	false	false	801
cnjebmf	1	t3_2rlf9s	t3_2rlf9s	Ruleof2	My parents were similar, but after showing them my class rank, and explaining that my entire class now is people who had a 90+ average in high school, I managed to get them to expect less. Hopefully your parents aren't too forceful about it, but you are probably going to be having a lot of discussions with them about your grades. Remeber that if you become desperate, you can always start to rely on government student loans, as well as your coop earnings, at least to put you in a better position to threaten your parents with. Good luck!	2015-01-09T07:19:00	2A Nano	false	false	802

cnjf63a	2	t3_2ru9q4	t3_2ru9q4	tifazee	Hey! I live at Rez-One (Bridgeport) and overall the facilities are really nice. Another plus is that when maintenance needs to be done they've always called someone within a couple hours, even on weekends. That being said, the internet seems to go down every Sunday for a number of hours, and the management isn't very reliable. It's also pretty pricey and doesn't offer discounts for groups, so if you're with a group I'd recommend checking out Luxe (they also have balconies) If you do go with Rez-One, Bridgeport has bigger rooms + a gym. A little long, but hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know!	2015-01-09T08:11:56	null	false	false	806

Biomedical Engineering is expanding to 60 spots for 2015. I'd expect not to get a directly related co-op job right off the bat, but opportunities will come in later terms.

cnjl6pi	2	t3_2rv7v5	t3_2rv7v5	WaveParticle1729	As a frequent user of the GRT service, I've found that certain routes are more reliable than others. The iXpress and 7 routes are among the most punctual. On the other hand, you're pretty much screwed if you are betting on the other routes. 92, for instance, is never on time. If you're fed up with Google maps, try the GRTransit app. They seem to update schedule changes regularly. Stay as far as you can from the official app.	2015-01-09T11:45:23	null	false	false	815

I understand weather and snow can be variables in arrival times, but is it normal for the bus to be more than 8 minutes late?

cnjkgrd	0	t3_2rv7v5	t1_cnjkbe2	Sahib201	I tried it. Extremely slow and confusing layout. Doesn't help much. And it really won't solve any problems related to the bus arrival time. Either these buses are coming earlier and not waiting or are coming EXTREMELY late. The service isn't free and frankly it's expensive, so I don't understand what is going and what what is being done about it. It's not likely they have an extremely limited budget to improve this piece of shit service, there's at least 30,000 people from our university alone that are forced to pay a $140 UPASS.	2015-01-09T11:25:15	null	false	false	832

cnjq1tm	2	t3_2rv7v5	t3_2rv7v5	worldwise001	Honestly, I feel like you probably have never taken public transit anywhere else before, so you have no adequate comparison of what public transit generally is like. Having to wait maybe 5 mins for a bus is actually pretty good. It's only when you're hitting > 15 mins then it starts becoming less optimal. I feel GRT does a pretty good job considering the circumstances (sudden snow/ice, traffic, delays, jaywalkers, late passengers, disabled passengers needing more time to board, etc.). They are also my only method of transportation (I can't drive), so I've just learnt to deal with the fact that sometimes I might have to wait outside for up to 30 mins in the cold if I am going across town due to transfers, etc. Sidewalk clearing is a problem in the city in general, but I think the city has to optimize for clearing the roads first so that public transit can be on time in the first place.	2015-01-09T13:55:53	PhD CS (CrySP/IR)	false	false	837

cnjppng	1	t3_2rv7v5	t1_cnjl7cq	worldwise001	On really bad snow days I've had to wait 30-40 mins for a bus. There was one instance (last year) I was at Westmount / Westcourt and 2 8's passed within 5 mins of each other, with the 12 nowhere in sight. The 12 arrived about 30-40 mins later. I asked the driver about it and he was just like, "I'm sorry miss, everything is fucked today, just get on". During non-snow days at most the bus is about 3-5 mins late. Sometimes it's later due to traffic, but they generally do a reasonable job of being around on time.	2015-01-09T13:46:57	PhD CS (CrySP/IR)	false	false	845

My parents were similar, but after showing them my class rank, and explaining that my entire class now is people who had a 90+ average in high school, I managed to get them to expect less. Hopefully your parents aren't too forceful about it, but you are probably going to be having a lot of discussions with them about your grades. Remeber that if you become desperate, you can always start to rely on government student loans, as well as your coop earnings, at least to put you in a better position to threaten your parents with. Good luck!

Hey! I live at Rez-One (Bridgeport) and overall the facilities are really nice. Another plus is that when maintenance needs to be done they've always called someone within a couple hours, even on weekends. That being said, the internet seems to go down every Sunday for a number of hours, and the management isn't very reliable. It's also pretty pricey and doesn't offer discounts for groups, so if you're with a group I'd recommend checking out Luxe (they also have balconies) If you do go with Rez-One, Bridgeport has bigger rooms + a gym. A little long, but hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know!

As a frequent user of the GRT service, I've found that certain routes are more reliable than others. The iXpress and 7 routes are among the most punctual. On the other hand, you're pretty much screwed if you are betting on the other routes. 92, for instance, is never on time. If you're fed up with Google maps, try the GRTransit app. They seem to update schedule changes regularly. Stay as far as you can from the official app.

I ended up not finding a job for my first co-op, still managed to find a job in the first round of interviews/matching in the next term. To better your chances, first take a look at your resume and see what you can reword and shuffle around to make it more appealing. I found that volunteering and getting involved around campus landed me a lot of interviews too.

I tried it. Extremely slow and confusing layout. Doesn't help much. And it really won't solve any problems related to the bus arrival time. Either these buses are coming earlier and not waiting or are coming EXTREMELY late. The service isn't free and frankly it's expensive, so I don't understand what is going and what what is being done about it. It's not likely they have an extremely limited budget to improve this piece of shit service, there's at least 30,000 people from our university alone that are forced to pay a $140 UPASS.

Honestly, I feel like you probably have never taken public transit anywhere else before, so you have no adequate comparison of what public transit generally is like. Having to wait maybe 5 mins for a bus is actually pretty good. It's only when you're hitting > 15 mins then it starts becoming less optimal. I feel GRT does a pretty good job considering the circumstances (sudden snow/ice, traffic, delays, jaywalkers, late passengers, disabled passengers needing more time to board, etc.). They are also my only method of transportation (I can't drive), so I've just learnt to deal with the fact that sometimes I might have to wait outside for up to 30 mins in the cold if I am going across town due to transfers, etc. Sidewalk clearing is a problem in the city in general, but I think the city has to optimize for clearing the roads first so that public transit can be on time in the first place.

On really bad snow days I've had to wait 30-40 mins for a bus. There was one instance (last year) I was at Westmount / Westcourt and 2 8's passed within 5 mins of each other, with the 12 nowhere in sight. The 12 arrived about 30-40 mins later. I asked the driver about it and he was just like, "I'm sorry miss, everything is fucked today, just get on". During non-snow days at most the bus is about 3-5 mins late. Sometimes it's later due to traffic, but they generally do a reasonable job of being around on time.

Thank you for your comments they helped a lot! I always had in my mind that rather quantitative skills like CS and Stat are most directly relevant to trading and finance knowledge is easy to pick up so was not too sure about transferring into. Looking at how the program is well-managed by having numerous networking events and the fact that grads are working for prestigious firms it comes to my mind it is a great program.

Yes, the spring term is treated just like any other term. However, not all courses are offered in all terms throughout the year. You can take 5 online courses while not in Waterloo, and yes you'd be considered a full-time student. You'll be able to make arrangements to take those exams while abroad. Keep in mind that if you're going to be on a co-op term I think you're only allowed to take one real course (not including PD). **tl;dr see an advisor ;)**

The spring term is just like any other term. Similarly, online courses are just like campus courses, except they are online. You can pay for the term, and take 5 online courses, provided you aren't on co-op. I've been in Waterloo for several terms in a row, including the spring terms. I chose to live in Waterloo and go to classes like normal, but again as mentioned above you can do online courses too. Not all courses have online, there is a list here http://de.uwaterloo.ca/courses/ **TL;DR Treat the spring term the same way you would any other term, and treat online courses like you would any other course.**
