r/uwaterloo

I manage to secure an Applied AI intern position for Fall 2026 at the Canadian Space Agency (government affiliated) and also Huawei. I'm debating between the two and I don't know which one to choose. What are your thoughts?

I think costco pizza is good

thanks for reading

goodnight

It’s tough to be curious while being dl and find the right people. :(

I haven't been able to access it since 9 in the morning, This is the second time this week. istg, with the ac shenanigans and now the wifi, hespeler has been absolutely horrible

how is the social life at Waterloo, like parties or like hookup culture yk what I mean saying. is there even a little Bit of it , like baddies and shi ? or there's nothing just study ?

I’m just curious if any 2nd years can share, do a lot of people join uwaterloo with their friends? I’m just wondering as an incoming first year as I know it can be harder to make friends when everyone already has their groups

When does Women in math DRP open?

Any advice for those who applied in previous cohort?

What did you do to get in?

PD never stops impressing me with how much it expects from students on their coop term.

Submit worksheets? Sure. Write a report? Annoying, but doable. Reviewing three 20 page reports when I'm not getting paid to be doing all this? Hell fuh nah.

I'm procrastinating the heck out of this because I feel a little guilty using AI on other people's work. Gemini could probably get the job done but I don't want to send these people's reports to Google's training data. I think the one I am currently reading reads like someone legitimately wrote it (there were so many weird formatting issues and it looked rough and human).

Fellow PDers is morality still on your conscience?

i moved into sage platinum 2 a little over a month ago and the water has always worked perfectly fine. last night, i got home from work and showered at around 12 AM n the hot water was still working well. i woke up this morning n was tryna shower but the water stayed cold. it’s been a few hours and the water’s still cold on the hottest setting. all my taps don’t have hot water either. i tried contacting maintenance but they sent an automated email saying they’ll be back on monday. is anyone else in sage platinum 2 having the same issue? is this something that happens frequently?

as an incoming first year

I'm on coop right now and also getting insanely behind in the one online class I'm taking because I didn't realize the amount of time commitment my job takes as well as the how much time this course requires. I'm also not doing well mentally and I'm sure working remote has added to that/not been helping.

I'm just looking for some motivation and maybe a little peace of mind if others go through this as well. I want to hear about how you got yourself out of a rut whether that's mentally, physically, academically, etc.

Hope everyone's doing well midway through the term :)

I am an incoming software eng student this fall. should I go for something that is simple and modern or something that is more flashy and abstract. I am looking for swe internships

Hi everyone, im going to g12 in September and I was wondering what would be a better school if my end goal is to be in SCM. My brother told me even if ur going into supply chain, afm is still better because of Waterloo Works. I was wondering if anyone on here could give some insight or advice.

Thanks

legit just heard someone say they were "chatting" (as in ChatGPT) their assignment. also people screenshotting in-class questions and dropping them in their LLM of choice. does no one care anymore?? at least have the decency to act ashamed, these people are genuinely bragging about their incompetence

edit: wow guess i pissed off all the cheaters, didn't realize the "everyone else is doing it so you're stupid if you don't" mindset was this prevalent. my bad guys go bitch about me to chat
