I have just two quick questions for you guys/gals. Does anybody here attend the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Canada? Just wanting to know since this is where I really want to attend university in the fall. Also, if you do, what is it like? I am planning in staying in residence, but I don't really know what most people think of residences at Waterloo.

P.S. I plan to hopefully get my Masters in Psychology

Are you going for education or the experience?

If it's education, then the rest shouldn't matter.

I thought everyone attended university for the education and the experience, but with priority on their education. I just have these questions because I don't just want to live in an area or go to a university that I will end up hating.

That song has always confused me -- is it about Napoleon, or is it just a trashy Euro love song?

So you're basing your opinion of all Canadian chicks on the only one you've ever met. No wonder you're a virgin.

My wife is attending via correspondence from here in Western Canada to get her Masters in Math. She has been very satisfied with the courses and materials so far! The place has a good reputation.

Depends on what you're planning to study. Engineering, math, CS? Then definitely go there.

If you have questions about CS there, ask and I'll ask my girlfriend. :)

None of my friends stayed in res. while they were at UW so can't say much about res.

I live in Waterloo, but I don't go to the University. Lots of friends do/did, they seem to like it.

Not sure about the residences though but I can help you with any questions about the area if you want to add me.

Waterloo is nice. My friend goes there. The res is okay, but it's cheapest if you know how to cook. It's one of my choices next year.

For me Waterloo was somewhere in Belgium..

Didn't knew they dug it to put it somewhere else.

Just gonna hijack this thread for a quick sec: anyone in computer science for Waterloo? I plan on going as I start grade 12 next year and I haven't found solid details on admittance and such. Seems to be widely disputed so I ask: what averages are needed to get in an what factors affect getting in. I heard a lot of kids at my school with low 90 averages were rejected this year.

I can't really help you out with your program, but I know that you can contact UWaterloo support for any questions. They are always there to answer you with answers that are not just copied and pasted.

A friend of mine was accepted into Waterloo. He had an average in the 90s and his final 12U computer science mark this year was a 95%. He also took 12U fun-cal.

He turned down their offer because by the time they sent it out he had already accept University of Toronto.

but I think you're fine, you're not spamming much. I have a friend going there this fall, she's in for computer science.

Well I hope I don't get suspended because a) this is my topic and b) my bump was relative to the topic as I just wanted an update.
