I’m looking to transfer to BBA after my first year of college. I didn’t have a very good average in high school due to extenuating circumstances and finished with about a 75% average although since leaving that situation, I have started college and I’m finishing my first year with a little over a 95% average. Do I have a shot for BBA or is it not realistic?

I believe it either dropped near Hazel St or on the bus, however I've already contacted GRT lost and found and they didn't find anything ):. I don't remember the brand but it's black and holds only cards, with a button to push the cards up (also UW IDs in there). Any help is appreciated, and let me know who else to contact

I am 28 years old, in highschool I ended up taking a bunch of random courses involving tech. But over the last few years I've really gotten into health and fitness (particularly body building) and I finally want to school for kinesiology. I was wondering if there is anyway for me to do that since I never took any of the science courses in high school. Or if at this point I'm out of luck.

Right now I work as an engineer for Toyota (without a degree). I'm not sure if background and stuff like that matters even slightly when applying

And the second part to anyone in this position, how do you handle having a full time day job while going to school? Or is it one of those decisions I have to make to quit my job (or beg to make other arrangements lol) . I mean I make quite a bit as is (less then if I had a degree though) and I don't want to throw that away

And the last part of my question is; is it worth going to school for Kinesiology? I have done alot of research and it seems like a dead end in terms of finding a job afterwords.

I’m an AFM student (Arts) taking one AFM course in the spring term, and I just checked Quest and my term balance is $1,863.16.

From what I saw online, a single course was supposed to be around $700 so this seems way too high.

the actual tuition line is $1,686 for the 0.5 credit course, before fees.

Is this normal for taking just one course in the spring term, or is something wrong? I am a domestic ontario student.

It's wild this even needs to be said

Hey I'm currently a University of waterloo undergraduate student in the sciences and I really am interested in a research position. Preferably in the pharmacy field as thats my biggest interest but I don't really have the luxury of choosing. I would even be grateful to volunteer and shadow a research group but I'm undersure how to go about it. uwaterloo.ca/pharmacy/research/undergraduate-student-research-opportunities states Volunteering is allowed but I need to reach out to potential research supervisors directly. Can someone who has been in my position or have any insight, please help me?

My friend went in to Harvey's the other night but their spots were full, so he parked in front of the Savoury Pie Company, which was closed for over three hours. Doors locked, no one inside. He ordered a burger and came out to find a ticket issued by bylaw. He said issued by complaint, not sure if it was on the ticket. Does this sound reasonable? I mean the business had been closed for 3 hours. He was not harming their business. Anyway, make me regret my recent "pi day" purchases..

I was trying out some word problems for calc and Econ and I just thought wtf am I doing rn. I’m supposed to attend in fall for bba and I’m just confused of whether I should rlly do this or switch to smth else. I’m rlly good at memorization and I enjoy reading and writing. However I CANNOT do word problems. It takes me a lot of time to study them and then when I do them I make mistakes most the times. I failed data management but passed my advanced function class in highschool. I’m going to be doing a part time job and also commuting 2 hours total a day. I was thinking of switching to communication cuz I have marketing experience and would like to work in marketing/project management or business analysis. Not interested in finance at all. Is there anyone else who was in my shoes and wht do u suggest?

I’m afraid I won’t make the cutoff for coop. I was thinking of switching to comm since I’ll most likely make it there easier

Hey, so I'm currently a 2A student at UWaterloo in a math/finance program and I'm seriously considering transferring to Laurier. I have 9.0 credits done so far and I'm hoping most of them transfer over.

Honestly my main goal is to find something in the econ, business, or finance space where I can actually get a good GPA and graduate as fast as possible. I'm not trying to suffer through another brutal program again, and I just want to perform well and get my degree.

I'm wondering which program is the most realistic to get into as a transfer student, and which one would let me finish the quickest given my existing credits. Is the BBA even worth trying for, or is it too competitive for transfers? Would a BA in Econ be an easier route?

Would love to hear from anyone who's transferred from UWaterloo to Laurier before. Any advice helps, thanks!

Is it cooked for me to go to Waterloo CS if I legitimately have almost 0 coding experience. I just recently got in and everyone else who got accepted has been robotics for 8 years at my school, coding projects, and hackathons while I have almost 0 experience. I feel so behind so I’m not sure if it’s even worth it for me as an incoming first year.

Discovered to my dismay that the wood behind my eavestrough / gutters is rotten. Need to find a reputable person or company to do some magic.

Any suggestions?

Always had the goal of joining a class to learn about guns and or hunting.

I went out this morning and there's a 'trail closed' sign and barrier just as the trail branches off the paved loop. Just wondering of anyone has been on the trail anyway in the last day or so and can speak to the conditions. I met a couple who were coming back from the closed section and he said he didn't know what the big deal was, he's seen it open under worse conditions in past years.

hi, im wondering if anyone has any local seamstress recommendations. i'm looking tonget a layer of lace added onto a toddler dress.

The gap isn't closing, there simply is no gap.

I got this flyer in the mail. It says all cards are winners and you need to have a private demonstration in your home to claim prize. Do you guys know what it is?

Hi guys I got the Laurier tuition bursary awarded just now, and according to the disbursement schedule, my bursary will be applied to my spring funding(?) I am however in my last term and graduating soon, will I still be able to access my bursary? Thank you!!

That exam was much more difficult than last semesters. Couldn’t wrap my head around question 2 for the life of me. Any thoughts on it for you guys?

The circumstances that lead me to this photo are a bit unbelievable. My dad was on this team, as well as the 1981 runner-up champions, so despite us not living around here the Rangers have always been part of my family's lore. However, I happened to move to KW last year. Now, the bill-out family my dad lived with from 1980-82, when they learned that he passed, remembered and then contacted my aunt on Facebook with their condolences. My aunt told them I lived in KW, so I met up with them recently. The family very generously gifted me this signed photo from 1982 along with a scrapbook of photos, newspaper cutouts, and more. What are the chances of them remembering, reaching out, having preserved all of this, and me living close-by? Still crazy to me.

I got the photo framed right away. The most notable signatures are Hockey Hall of Famers Scott Stevens (bottom) and Al MacInnis (bottom right), high-goal scorer Brian Bellows (right), and Penguins cup-winning backup goalie Wendell Young (right). You can see the full team lineup and color version here. We've only won the Memorial Cup twice, and my first time in KW was meeting the 1982 and 2003 teams for a reunion after the 2008 team won the OHL championship. Really needed this after watching that awful loss at the Aud against Sarnia last night!!

I believe they have their religious holiday today, I am currently residing in Toronto and want to visit Kitchener to check on my tenants, anyone know if they are open today?

Did anyone else find that to be overly vague and complex? From all the past midterms and practice questions posted I was expecting a journal entry question with aging, not some weird 3 section one broken into doubtful for allowance and then aging and bad debt. Also the second chart was lowkey kinda confusing maybe I’m just slow but I practiced for bank reconciliations and depreciation a ton so wasn’t expecting that

Hi every, I have two boys and I'm looking for some activities to do on a rainy day with my kids. Funvilla is overpriced, same with Virtual Reality arcades. Is there a genuine kids arcade that is not also a bar? I'm willing to travel from Cambridge to Waterloo. I'm already getting them swimming lessons this spring. Just kinda looking for a good bang for buck activity to do on a random rainy day.

Went to Rare last night and honestly kinda disappointed.

Music felt WAYYY off as someone who’s been listening to Bad Bunny for years, it just didn’t hit. Like technically the genre was there but no real vibe or energy.

Crowd was weird too. A lot of people just standing around, checking their phones or chilling in their own groups instead of actually socializing. Didn’t feel like a typical “club” energy.

One thing I did notice though, when girls came close to our group to dance, that seemed like the only real cue to jump in and interact. Otherwise it felt pretty closed off.

Is this normal for Rare or did I just go on a bad night?

for people who don’t know, malang was the name of the event hosted by bollyfusion and uwindian at the museum last night

I acknowledge its a general topic but I really want to know the unconventional ways that actually work and help you really calm yourself whenever somebody swears at you or gives you the finger while driving.

it doesn't happen often with me but when it happens it really ruins my mood and day.

dont give me advices like "just ignore", "dont fall for it", these are obvious and they never work and on top of it am bit of a emotional eater which is making dominos really rich

I need some sentence or some mental trick that I can execute immediately in my mind to move away from thinking about it and stop that urge to swear back or show them the finger or do something stupid.

Hi guys, as a new immigrant barely 10 months. Since my first day of landing, I've just gotten busy with license studies and work. Work at the job and at home. Amongst all this, I genuinely feel like I have worked towards a nicer home. But I miss friends, any real humans who are not my husband. Does anybody want to connect with me as friends in K downtown? I just had a huge melt down on Eid because it was just like any other day in Canada. And I'm trying to find my clan because I did not come so far from home to be bored on Eid.

I was expecting to get the blue wheelie bins with the lid but when the bins were finally dropped off a week ago (after many calls and emails) they were just the taller version of the regular sized ones. I saw the wheelie ones downtown so are they only for businesses? I'm almost certain I saw some at residential properties as well. Anyone know?

ok so basically my parents are paying for my entire first year, after that i pay by myself with money i earn from co-op, but i’m quite nervous as my dad was being a dick and making jokes on what if i don’t get co-op 💀

is co-op enough to pay for stuff in uni? how do you all pay?!

Hey! as first year is ending i have not met anyone new since the start of uni and i feel really distant and left out in a lot of social aspects. was wondering if any first year sci students wanna become friends since im struggling out here 💔

i’m a student from victoria bc who is interested in international human rights work and/or international social work. i would love to leave bc and see the other side of canada but also be financially smart by doing so.

i have applied to these 2 programs (global studies and social work) and want to know if the resources, co-ops, teaching and support put into them are worth the massive debt it would put me in (for undergrad)?

i’ve been really struggling with this so please just give me the bare, blunt advice/information.

My parents have as of so far been paying for my tuition out of pocket/from a savings account but during the semester my mom got injured and was unable to work, and my dad is unemployed. This semesters tuition was paid for in full by my parents but since my mom is now making no income now she wants me to apply for a loan/grant in hopes to get reimbursed since we are struggling to make ends meet. The problem is that when I tried to apply OSAP wouldn't allow me to as its past the deadline date. I'm extremely stressed now and unsure of what to do as my mom says she will kick me out if I don't receive any money from OSAP.

If I’m retaking BU127 in spring do I still have to show up to the midterm and final exam?

does anyone else just feel so…out of place…lol. like okay im graduating, this is really happening, now what? it just feels really bittersweet if that’s the right word to use. i don’t know i feel empty Lol 😂 idk i feel the winter blues are still lingering over me.

Can I defer the second midterm if I’ve already deferred the first one? Just wanna simple answer if anyone can provide it

Update: my final is now worth 80% 🫠 might regret that in hindsight so unless necessary I wouldn’t recommend lol

i'm interested in a job on waterloo works but in the required skills it mentions that you are a part of the faculty of engineering. if i apply as a cs major, would they just dismiss my application?

I do apologize for how poorly constructed this post is and how much of a rant I go on (whoops)

I'm a first-year student in the BBA program, and honestly, every day just feels like I'm working towards trying to finish the degree of doom and despair. My GPA is very mediocre (something I've learned to accept with time), but all the courses weighing it down are my core business ones. I know that they're very difficult in theory, and I know I could do better if I put in more effort, but the very thought of doing that makes me want to rip out the three strands of hair I have left from the water in this city. I have a zero interest in all of the BU & EC courses (121 is fun though) and I know that people say first-year is a breeze compared to upper years, so I'm trying not to take anything for granted... It's so hard though when I just have this feeling of impending doom looming over me all the time. I feel so out of place all the time and want to crawl out of my skin whenever I think about anything related to my future in the program.

I also feel my mental health just crashing through the roof and feel unhappier in this city day by day. I've thought about switching my major, but I genuinely don't have any passion for anything stable, and plus, I've spent far too much money on school fees to double down now🧍‍♂️

TLDR: I really just want to ask if any current upper years or graduates have felt so out of place in this program and if it gets any better lol

looking for a cozy, quiet, (cheap), (pref. dim lit)? date spot to take so, any recs?

Anyone know why the LRT is shut down from Willis Way to Kitchener Market Stations?

I was wondering if anybody here has umpired for kids during the summer months? I’d like some tips to get started as a complete beginner.
