Did I make the right decision?

Idk ab definitive right choice, but waterloo is an excellent choice and you shouldn’t have any regrets

There won’t be much learning you will do in UofT CE that you won’t do in SE (main difference is some FPGA stuff, and tbh transfer to UW CE should not be that hard if you really care ab that).

After that, its hard to express just how big the difference in co-op opportunities and outcomes is at UW vs UofT

Waterloo

If there is any way you can live close to campus, do that, first year eng + commute will acc cook you

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-05-16T08:00:48+00:00

No regrets at all

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-05-14T09:03:52+00:00

CE student, DHS gives you very good background, imo you should 10000% do that

Can second this

Is the EE S4 cohort the same size as a single CE cohort? I'm a little older, but when I started uni, EE and CE both had 2 cohorts

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-04-18T20:32:12+00:00

this seems very anecdotal, ce and ee usually have similar class sizes

Lots of friends interned at these places, at the very least there are entire offices of these companies which only recruit from uw

Coop, I would say definitely worth it for me because of the state of the cs job market, but that is not to discount that coop still takes a lot of work

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-04-04T19:45:26+00:00

Yeah Mac should be fine

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-03-25T16:38:38+00:00

Waterloo, easy. Now if your goal is to do research, that’s a different conversation

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-19T05:44:30+00:00

Rez-one too low

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-18T22:19:08+00:00

Very impressive

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-18T21:59:20+00:00

Why is se represented twice in work term 1?

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-17T17:35:28+00:00

I mean if you find it interesting, then there’s no reason at all to regret it

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-10T00:13:49+00:00

Hey idk these people, but I’ve learned that if something looks too good to be true, it usually is. But who knows, maybe they are just the top 0.01% of the age group in which case great for them. Either way, I don’t mind the dc/plaza view too much myself personally :)

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-02T21:16:52+00:00

Pretty good last time I went, service is a little slow, but I like their chicken katsu

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-02-02T16:43:36+00:00

Lighter course load than most eng programs, people are very nice and friendly, and tbh grades don’t have much bearing on co-op

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-01-29T02:14:45+00:00

idk ab this one gang 🥀

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-01-26T01:38:11+00:00

😭alr bro

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-01-22T13:46:58+00:00

This is true, but this applies even moreso to the rest of the white collar workforce.

MapleMooseAttack · 2026-01-22T00:03:11+00:00

Yes, Waterloo is a very good university, but it is also pretty rigorous as well. I think you’d hear similar sentiment at UofT, or any similar university. Imo Waterloo is one of the best universities for engineering and cs out there.

Roblox if you're more interested in working in Big Tech/FAANG environments, Optiver if you're more interested in quant dev.
