this may have been already a topic... but is there anyone here that goes to the University of Waterloo (I'm presuming that the one in canada is the only one... p'rhaps a wrongful presumption?)
anyways, if there are any, what're you taking, and what year are you in?
I'm on my 1B term (although exam period is 'pon me, and my final final is on the 14th), and am currently taking Bioinformatics (although I'm seriously thinking of switching out...)
so, once again, 'nybody?
Oh, and I'm also kinda' curious whether anyone else here lives or lived in my rez... so... if you know the response, respond!
S J!
University Of Waterloo - 'nybody?

wrong, laurentian at barrie and sudbury are the most unbearable towns!!!
hahah you should have posted in the Canada network thread. anyways i'm a Waterlooser and i'm going to be in my 3rd year this fall term. i'm in honors sociology minoring in human resources management .. co-op right now i can't wait to leaveeee!!!! lol
i like how the town anchors me to study because there is nothing to do there except for ceaser martinis and house parties.
my first year in residence was at Mackenzie King Village (MKV) i know i'm in arts and that brand-spanking-new-air-conditioned-residence is mostly for engineers... i beat the odds by ALOT !!! hahaa it was awesome!
the phrase "it gets easier every year you are in University.." it doesn't apply to waterloo... the hardest part for this school is not getting into it.. it's stayin in it.

I was stuck in Waterloo this summer. It was not as unbearable as I thought it would be but no one should ever be subjected to such a boring town LOL. It takes about 8-10 minutes to reach the next county!! And I actually go to WLU so that's even worse (smaller population)

haah the Highschool down the street is what we call Laurier!
yeah at first i think the town blows, but once you get seasoned to it, it's pretty decent for a school environment
i'd totally get so distracted if i went to UofT too many other things to do aside from studying.

Everything is a walking distance and since there's nothing in the town, it grounds you and allows you to focus your attention to your studies. I think it's the ONLY reason why I've made it so far hahah. The only bad thing is random drunk screamers at night, but I guess that's the same for every university.

Jeahh it's pretty much a given that you won't be able to concentrate living in rez... unless you LIVE at the library which is what the DC is for! Make use of it! But then it's okay to have some fun in first year, but still put in the effort
Party hard, but work harder!

Jeahh DC SMELLS... it's so grimy =/ The only thing that's good about it is that it has long hours. I think summer at loo is better than winter though. The good thing about coop is you get to experience all the seasons in this smelly town LOL. You can always tell when the farms nearby have sprayed the fertilizer!

Oh sucks to be UW coop students! I heard you guys have to write 1 (maybe even 2) work term reports for EVERY work term. I can't wait to go back on my work term, it will be a nice break from studying
And this past summer the construction or people mowing the lawns having been waking me up so early! Honestly who mows the lawn at 6am in the morning....

hahahah!! YES the 40 page work report that everyone starts a few days before it's due ... that's when you see alotta profanity on their msn nicknames revolving around work reports xD
Lauriens don't have to write work term reports????

no no. i have construction for a new building across from my place AND lawn movers! hahaha and the lawn is sooooooo big that I swear it takes them 3-4 hours just to finish it....
And we only have to write ONE work term report for our first term... it's pretty much a BS thing unlike UW students where I think they actually write one like that and another on some topic related to their subject (which I find wayyyy more stimulating)
