Thread: Waterloo

>I originally wanted to go to UWaterloo, but coop is mandatory,
Yes, but only for engineering programs.

>and if you can't find a job (seems like a good chance this will happen at the moment) they don't let you just go back to school and study another term.
The residence I'm staying at has a lot of upper-year students, many of them in co-op. None of them know anyone who hasn't been able to find a job.

>they don't let you just go back to school and study another term.
Since co-op is mandatory, and there is only one co-op section for each engineering, they can't let you return to school because they won't be offering any of the courses that you need to take. In CS though, you can take a school term instead.

> why do they bug you for money to help other students when they know you haven't even paid off your own college debts!?

Shut up, you. You signed up for this when you went to Senior Dinner at Dr. John's house. I believe receiving an ugly beer schooner is the same as signing a contract.

Yeah, but the crab rangoon was pretty alright.

I'm going in tomorrow to talk to him about it, I'd suggest you do too if you want to join the thing (deadline's this friday). So whereabouts in calgary do you live and which high school? I'm guessing the odds of you going to aberhart are relatively slim to none eh?

Yup, slim to none. I'm in Okotoks [just outside Calgary] and go to Holy Trinity Academy.

Hadn't heard of that tech course...guess its a little late for me though..I've got to see the school counsellor tomorrow about universities and then have work. Oh well, I'll just buy myself another C++ book instead


Question about Waterloo: Do they care about International Baccalaureate? Cause if they do, thats good for me
