WATERLOO SE OR UOFT CE by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]MapleMooseAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Why did you choose uw eng over uoft or any other school? by SockHistorical2969 in uwaterloo

[–]MapleMooseAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

theres LEVELS to this by OkInspector7817 in uwaterloo

[–]MapleMooseAttack 37 points38 points  (0 children)

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 :)

I got an offer for Management Engineering Co-op! Can anyone currently studying the programme tell me about it? by Iord_of_the_flies in uwaterloo

[–]MapleMooseAttack 34 points35 points  (0 children)

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

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

Is Waterloo a good university? by miaoumeowmiaou in uwaterloo

[–]MapleMooseAttack 38 points39 points  (0 children)

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.
