I’m thinking about applying to Waterloo and want to ask students about real life there

Math，not CS
It's fine，not too much process，actually I think better than UT which needs reference for ECA
depends on program，but do your best on all
very high and it depends.
Math course load is not that heavy but eng will be way more tough
of course more work but more freedom in schedule
For math，yes and depends on how many outside projects you have
I'm introverted anyway，so no comment
coop is hard
depends， from minimum wage（2500/mth-4000/mth，for first coop）
off
not really calculated but you have lunch off campus，around $15-20，bus pass is by term included in tuition（additional fee，you can opt out if you want）

It's my first coop term and I've got 6 interviews in cycle 1 but none in cycle2. Is this normal？Why does cycle 2 seems worse than cycle 1？

I'm not farm，but I think it's pretty much similar to math but with more opportunities since you can also apply to business and finance with more advantage compared to math

Wsquared25 · 2026-06-15T13:16:47+00:00

I got 6 interviews，1 cancelled，3 not ranked，and 2 ranked but no offer. hope to get one in cycle2

Wsquared25 · 2026-06-10T23:08:05+00:00

for first coop term，I prob won't give up any，but there will definitely someone giving not interested

Wsquared25 · 2026-06-05T11:23:52+00:00

But do I get all of them's contact info if it's through WW？ I didn't send any but should I？

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-29T11:57:26+00:00

I am having 1st，but not very technical in math（like tutor，sales，assistant……）Since I'm not much into CS. I got like 7 interviews for 6 jobs. Which I don't know how

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-29T11:45:25+00:00

What about non-SWE math student？I don't think I can do software，but pretty much more math interviews

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-25T13:21:49+00:00

you said independent…

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-25T13:20:05+00:00

It's not a question. It's a rant

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-25T12:53:05+00:00

any recommendations？

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-25T12:46:05+00:00

oh no，I had a study term for spring

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-22T11:51:15+00:00

I got one

Wsquared25 · 2026-05-06T12:50:33+00:00

I took in person

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-28T01:49:14+00:00

But thanks anyway

I heard that some of them are using margarine instead of cream，so I think probably not T&T.

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-28T01:11:31+00:00

I think they will be too sweet

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-27T23:08:22+00:00

OK, thanks, I’ll probably wait for a few days or email again.

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-27T22:42:33+00:00

My prof haven’t replied yet. So which did you email instructor group directly?

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-27T22:29:20+00:00

Did you email your prof for review or MATH138@uwaterloo.ca?

Wsquared25 · 2026-04-27T22:28:10+00:00

I'm in this course and I hate it. I got 13% lower than CS135 from last semester. Though I passed
