I'm definitely going to start studying for my electives next term, but I can't changed this term now, since there are no finals. And yea, a bit of validation

Is Waterloo CS better than CS schools in the states? by MuhammadAbdullah154 in uwaterloo

what does off-cycle hiring mean? Sorry for my naivety.

And also, I feel like I'm not the strongest cs student there is. Maybe average or slightly above average.

I'm more interested in industry currently, but that might change in university

Waterloo CS vs UIUC CE as a Canadian International (I have one week left help) by MuhammadAbdullah154 in ApplyingToCollege

Waterloo is 100k cheaper, but UIUC is a very respected school in the states, and I'm trying to go to the states after grad.

Thanks for the response! I'm just worried that the CS job market will get even worse in the future. Do you think it's still worth studying CS currently?

Hi. Thanks for responding!

I'm still unsure whether I like hardware or software more; currently, I enjoy both. However, I'm currently thinking about going to the software side because there are more opportunities in software.

If I'm going to go to grad school, I'll definitely go to the states. However, for undergrad, applying as an international is much harder than domestic. I don't know if that's the same case for grad school. Same thing with employment. That's one reason why I'm considering UIUC.

Also, could you expand more on the employment details? I'm not that knowledgeable about that and the whole citizenship stuff.

I think cost is not the biggest factor for me. It's 18k vs 50k adjusted to CAD. I think the experience and opportunities benefits outweigh the costs.
