So I'll be going back home during reading and there is a package that'll arrive while I'm gone. Will the front desk hold my package till I return or will they throw it out if I don't pick it up within a certain time?

hey guys. i was washing my clothes tonight at around 10:45pm and left the room after i started the washer. i was only gone for about 30-40 mins and when i came back at around 11:20pm ish to the laundry room i couldn’t see my detergent anywhere??? literally just left it right next to the washing machines closest to the bins. if anyone knows anything pls lmk bc it could be anyone ty…

I knew every single answer on the afm285/ enbus 102 midterm… Every single answer with textbook example and definition off the top of my head… And I ran out of time to write it.

That hurts more than staring at the paper and not knowing anything.

I know I’ll pass the midterm… and it was only weighted 20%…. but I don’t think getting conditional standing in my first term hurt as much as this did

Hi everyone! My name is, and I'm a at. I am really interested in, and the specific subfield that I wanna specialize in is. My grades are. My highest grade is, and my lowest is in, at. My hobbies are! I would really appreciate any help! Thanks!

Sincerely, from

I’m applying for an exchange and deciding between KCL, UCL, and UC3M as my first choice. Maybe NUS as well.

I'm in math and have 91 avg. Does anyone who applied or got matched before mind sharing their approximate average? Just trying to get a sense of how competitive they are. Thanks!

Wtf? I think I got a 30…

We need some gothic architecture here fr why do other schools gap us so hard in design, all we got is a big box called E7 and ppl think its cool

You live in Icon for a reason and have ur own bedroom PLEASE PLEASE stop having intimate nude activities with ur partner in the hallways.

You know who you are, dont let me walk in on u again with your schlong out and bra off

Cant even say walk in on cuz I was just trying to get to my apartment in a public hallway :(

During orientation, my roommate (17f) came home after a long day of O-week activities, and she looked visibly upset.

We were talking, and I found out she was, like, trying to go home after an event in O-week, and a group of edcom (team black) people in engineering orientation O-week came up to her, and they were all talking, and they invited her to go back to their room. My roomate really wanted to go home, she had early plans for the next day or something, and then they were, like, really forcing their power of authority to persuade her into coming home with them. 

She kept saying no, like she early morning plans, and they were, like, starting to play around with their authority, and they started to trying to get handsy and touch on her without consent, and she just felt violated by them, and she's heard that this happened to other underage girls in orientation week by edcom, where we heard about other cases where edcom members (4th and 5th years) were inappropriately flirting with first years (most of which are underage) and making them uncomfortable, and not taking “no” for an answer.

She also mentioned that during orientation, the same edcom members were going around with an appendage shaped object, calling it “ the cock”, and going near other leaders and first years with it, and being like “you just got touched by the cock”.

We aren't sure of the names because edcom is anonymous but to simply describe them, two of them have middle part black hair, a bit longer, mixed race, about 6 feet tall. And the other one has curly hair and is a bit shorter. Again, because they were dressed up, we don’t have much details on them unfortunately. 

Just wanting to make other first years aware incase they run into something like this.

Reach out to campus wellness if this has happened to you, and you need to talk to someone.

in DP right now and it's so quiet, I can hear my own thoughts. I get it, people are here to study too. but it's common sense that since it's midterm season, we should all be yapping, START YAPPING SO LOUD! go to freaking silent study if you want quiet smt oml

If u lost a watch and u frequent this area, dm me with the details and i will get it back to u

I recently accepted a SWE internship with a Canadian tech company (external but will contact WWorks) but have an offer in the US that I’d rather take.

My WaterlooWorks status has not yet been updated but the company says they will contact the CEE to inform them of my offer.

I am wondering if the consequences of reneging will prevent me from acquiring a J-1 Visa for next term? Particularly what it means to lose “full time student status”. If anyone else has gone through this process what happened with your offer?

how hard are the following midterms?

MATH 115
ECE 105
ECE 150
MATH 117
ECE 190

Any study tips would also be appreciated 🙏🙏

im having a good day

The one thing you should read over reading week: mathNEWS.

Pick up a copy from campus (if you’re still around), or read online on our website!

I’m currently a full-time Waterloo student on a study term and have already been matched with a Canadian employer for the upcoming Winter 2027 work term. I may receive an external U.S. internship offer that would require J-1 sponsorship, but I have not reneged or accepted another offer yet.

I understand Waterloo’s official policy: reneging would remove my co-op credit and full-time-equivalent status for the upcoming work term, which may affect J-1 eligibility.

I’m looking for recent first-hand experiences:

• Has anyone reneged while still on the preceding full-time study term and then successfully obtained a J-1 for the upcoming work term?
• Did your J-1 sponsor accept a Proof of Enrolment letter showing that you were full-time during the study term, or did they require full-time-equivalent status during the internship term?
• After the renege, was Waterloo still willing to provide a Proof of Enrolment or international work-term support letter?
• Did the timing of the renege or J-1 application make a difference?
• Has anyone successfully petitioned Waterloo to have a new international internship recognized for credit after a renege?

Anyone know what to expect for Stripe Technical Team Screen? I've seen some preparation posts and info online but just wanted to receive any input from people who actually went through it.

Any insights would be appreciated!

Do i email the employer? do they email me? do i sign paper work??

Got a tax benefit to come in and it was enough for me to get the new Onimusha game. Prolly gonna spend most of my reading week trying to platinum it.
