Nope, not really predictable, but it usually gets resolved by around 6pm I'm actually away right now so I can't test the internet, but I've gotten up to around 2.5 mb/s when downloading I haven't had any issues with noise (and if you do, there's security to contact downstairs).

He is mis-remembering. For all engineering programs, you need at least **5**, not 4 co-ops to graduate, though you get the opportunity to do 6. Not all programs have the same co-op requirements though, so check out your desired program's specific requirements. Co-op isn't mandatory for some programs.

Do you just need one prof to sign the override form, or both? (the two classes that overlap) I went to an advisor and they told me both but theres no room after the first prof signed it.

I am pretty sure you will need an override signed by one of the profs. I know one person that had a 'study slot' put in her schedule that overlapped with a class for 30 minutes and the prof was ok with allowing an override for that.

I can't find an easy way to query for the most cited paper, but the most cited prof is approximately: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_authors&mauthors=%22university+of+waterloo%22 "Approximately" because I believe that query only returns results for profs who have set up a profile on Google Scholar, and also because Google Scholar counts citations to books, and I'm not sure whether you count them (books aren't "papers").

I don't believe you need unique placements as long as they all fulfill the co-op requirements (full time, min. 12 weeks, etc). I know plenty of people who went to the same company for 2 or even 3 terms. I haven't actually heard anything about the 4 unique placements (I'm not in engineering so I can't be sure but I know plenty of people who are and they haven't said anything about it ).

Yeah I meant like 4 unique placements at minimum. So like as far as I understood, one person could just go back to the same company for all 6 co op terms. Whereas my friend said that it used to be, and might still be, that you need at least 4 different employers (or maybe just 4 different job positions within that company).

Thanks man! I've taken your advice to heart and now I'm going to just see where my life takes me, but it'll be the same in any case! I added UT into the discussion, and so with time I can make a final decision between SFU/UW/UT. In the meanwhile, I'll be behind if I don't do anything until that moment, so I've started some cool projects that should evolve into something cool once internship season begins.

Tbh I don't think you missed out on the rez life. That awesome rez life you see in movies doesn't happen all the time, it depends on which building and which floor. For me my floor wasn't all that social, despite me trying to get to know them, which resulted in a mediocre rez life. However it could be different for someone else.

Pre-enrolment as the only way to get into courses presents a few problems, not the least of which is that it puts struggling students at a disadvantage. Students can't take into account their marks from two terms prior, so students who aren't sure if they have the prerequisite skills for classes (or even students who aren't sure if they've passed a course) can't pre-enrol in courses they're worried about.

I stayed at CLV first year, and I was actually pretty satisfied with it. I hung out at V1 sometimes, and it was neat but I don't think I could have handled that all the time, I like my quiet. I'm at WCRI this year because I sucked at finding somewhere to live and thankfully they had a spot still open. It's cheap, and it's close to campus which is a plus in my books. It doesn't feel as social as V1 was, but there are still events all the time, occasionally parties, and the dorm-style lends itself to more interaction. Same with the communal kitchen. I tend to keep to myself in here though, so take this all with a grain of salt but it's just what I found.

I took 456 and 454 together. The whole second week of 454 was summarizing the relevant stuff in 456. The course page recommends taking 456 but I don't see any benefit to that since all you need is really basic TCP socket knowledge. There's even a whole assignment to teach you that in 454 (oddly enough). I really recommend 454 if you like project work and system design and it's hugely relevant to industry today.

Is this something that's happening on campus or a general question? In the case it is a general question I suggest you ask /r/sex for more information.

No need for that. They don't care unless there are too many people. There isn't anything you can do if they take attendance.

CS Advisors give overrides for extenuating circumstances (e.g. transferring programs, pre-req being completed the term prior, failing the course, etc.), which is what the cap is used for; they override these students in under the cap. Having pre-enrolment as the default way before first-come first-serve lets them accurately judge how many profs/offerings of a course are need and isn't meant to (and doesn't) penalize people with a *legitimate* reason to not pre-enrol.

How can admission for Laurier DD be easier than Math single degree when DD includes BOTH math AND business? http://legacy.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=2256&p=9590 Laurier DD (Low 90s) https://uwaterloo.ca/find-out-more/programs/mathematics Waterloo Math (Mid 80s) Arguably, Math is a "subset" of DD (not saying that either program is better)

I think its because the Laurier side DD admissions are handled exclusively by Laurier admissions staff. That being said, Math co-op's admission standards being higher than DD is probably untrue, but CS co-op is definitely creeping up to the same standard as CS/BBA at Laurier in terms of admission average.

Yea but why is there suddenly so much more competition at the highest levels when immigration in Ontario has not grew at such a quick rate. I guess what I'm getting at is that when I was graduating HS there was already alot of students getting their credits at grade mills where essentially 90's were handed out to paying students. Just wondering if that problem has gotten alot worse as I still see alot of signs offering credits everyday during my commute to work in Toronto.

For the same reason that Laurier DD is easier to get into than Waterloo DD... On top of that, your second link showing mid 80s doesn't specify if it's for co-op or not.
