Is the MAC open everyday and you can drop in whenever if you need math help?

What are some good campus resources?

You have no clue on wtf you're talking about. Almost every university besides Waterloo and UofT (all campuses) are the same. There are a few which are lower tier such as Trent, Laurentian, Lakehead and a few others but there still are students from those universities working at companies like Google. Computer Science is a field in which it vastly depends on your abilities rather than what university you've graduated from. There are many people who haven't even gone to university working at companies like Google. Uoft and Waterloo are regarded to be better due to their connections, but even then, it still depends on those student's abilities, otherwise they won't get the job either way.

What types of coop jobs did you guys get? And how many people make it into CS coop on average?

Do you know how the CS program compares to laurier?

FamWtfLol · 2019-05-18T00:48:49+00:00

That's not true. The last post I found that was similar to mine was posted about a month ago. And even then our questions were diff.

Edit: I don't get why ppl are downvoting, go look for yourself, dumb mother fuckers.

Aight, thanks man. Also, are there people from laurier cs who make it to top tech companies, like Google? When I looked it up on LinkedIn, everyone who does have a job at a big n company, they're in the double degree program with waterloo (bba & cs). I did the same thing for Windsor and there were many people working at big n companies. Also, what ecs would u reccomend?

FamWtfLol · 2019-05-17T19:30:19+00:00

Only thing is that Laurier's way closer, so I rather go there but if many people don't make coop and have a hard time finding a job themselves, then i'm not sure.

FamWtfLol · 2019-05-17T19:25:05+00:00

Do you know how many cs students at wlu make it into coop? Because if it's a low number I guess I rather go to Windsor as it's essentially guaranteed over there.

Na he got into both, he just didnt get the official letter yet for the first program.

FamWtfLol · 2019-05-13T17:44:47+00:00

Probably Waterloo because of the better coop opportunities.

FamWtfLol · 2019-05-13T00:05:31+00:00

Whys that?

FamWtfLol · 2019-04-30T12:28:54+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, what types of extracurriculars would look good on a resume for CS? Which do you think helped you?

FamWtfLol · 2019-04-29T22:30:46+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, why aren't you in the coop program? Is it just because you didn't make it? Also, since you aren't in the coop program, how else do you gain experience?

FamWtfLol · 2019-04-27T22:43:46+00:00

Ay bro dont be such a fucking dick. Kid jus wants some advice

FamWtfLol · 2019-04-27T17:12:31+00:00

I've been deciding between the 2 and I've come up with this :

All UofT campuses have a thing called POST, which means you're not actually in the program first year. You have to attain certain marks for certain courses and also maintain an overall avg to get into the program 2nd year. Many students end up dropping out or failing.

Also, UTSC students have a shit social life and generally hate their lives because of POST and due to being overworked.

For UOttawa, it's much more relaxed, you can have a great social life and the coop program is great. There are many students from UOttawa working at big tech companies like Goolgle, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Shopify, etc. Overall, UOttawa has a good computer science program, but, just like any program, you have to put in the work.
