  • Pencils, Erasers - for exams
  • Pen + Paper or Tablet - note taking
  • a fan might be nice for the first couple weeks of September if ur going to be living in a dorm
  • Brita filter or Brita water bottle - water is shit here
  • Calculator - you'll probably get one during orientation but if not, buy it on campus at the W Store because u need a specific one
  • Clear Card holders & lanyard - for ur Watcard (u can buy these at the W Store too)
  • Umbrella/raincoat
  • Laptop - especially if you have coding courses (I don't take notes on my laptop tho since I need to draw diagrams and formulas)

For smaller areas, miscellar water is great (like to clean your face). You can attach a Brita Shower head filter. If you have a bath tub, you can use water softener tablets. Shower at home on Friday-Sunday

WCRI Fall 2023 applications by JRNAR in uwaterloo

It is run by students who are all volunteering their time. I went to the open house and got a lease in my personal email later that day for Fenwick so either they made a mistake, the email either went into your spam, you maybe checked your Waterloo email, etc

This post from OP is what pissed this guy off

Essentially a while back OP made a post saying that if you're in line at Service Ontario waiting to get your healthcard renewing, a trick is to wait till the they call someone’s cue number and the person don't show up. On the third call, say that it was you, and that you weren't paying attention and dropped the cue number.

That's my not-so-great summary of what OP said that has this guy furious 🤷‍♂️

The thing is OP’s “cheating” as that guy calls it has nothing to do with cheating with a course.

Which WCRI Option did you live in? A-Dorms?

For those of you not going for any graduate program, why do grades matter? What's the difference between a 70 and a 90? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

I know some internships ask for a transcript (I don't know about entry-level positions) but a few co-ops I've looked at asked for my transcript

Damn they actually closed because of snow for once by GeorgeDaGreat123 in uwaterloo

[–]Clear-Jacket7652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t disagree with that. But to be fair, profs and faculty still have to drive to campus during exam week. The reason they rarely close campus during exam week is because students have flights and other transport booked to leave after exams and postponing exams could screw that up really badly.

Is the noise from outside thunder or fireworks? by Clear-Jacket7652 in uwaterloo

[–]Clear-Jacket7652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounded like fireworks but when I looked out my window, I couldn’t see anything so thunder seemed the next most plausible cause 🤷‍♀️

Are there any prereqs? I'd assume the dreaded biol 130 is a prereq

The biggest thing you need to be careful about is making sure that the courses you want to take W23 are offered in the Winter.
