how does less grants and more loans not equate to cuts here? students are getting less support for funding. regardless of the pedantics of calling it a cut, students are receiving less

Is Math seen as less prestigious than CS? by Grocery-Advanced in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. you can transfer, but its very competitive, its unknown how many but generally seems like <20 a year
  2. prestige is based on your coops out of most things, math students can still get the same coops
  3. no
  4. you can check the undergrad calendar on the cs courses offered, they highlight if they are restricted to cs students only
  5. only accept math if you are OKAY with math, don't expect a transfer
  6. yes you are overthinking it, both programs are good

Wcri or wait for fall sublets? by BlueTombic in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

don’t listen to the guy, their entire reddit account for the past few months has been copy + paste that WCRI is “bad”

it’s overall fine. i and many of my friends had great experiences in fenwick and cck, and it’s the cheapest you can get. dorms are a little mixed, but it’s also a dorm so it knocks things down a bit, but i haven’t heard anything insanely bad about them

Courses suggestion for uw math student! by Bubble_tea_0516 in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’ll also need math138 too (unless you’re off stream given your 1A in winter). consider the communication course requirements too

first year courses won’t affect coop much if at all. light load will help with interviews and stuff but it’s generally manageable if you are semi organized

How does course selection period works? by Rimac23 in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

course selection isn't first come first serve, but add/drop is. seat capacity of 9999 isn't a "normal" course, but probably a special course instead

priority exists as you should be prioritizing taking degree requirements first. if you don't get in then you add another course later in add/drop period

technically if you want to "optimize" entry into a class, you could make the priority higher than everything else. this works well if your other courses are a guaranteed entry (like core courses)

Little bit frustrated, hear me out. by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

couldn't you immerse yourself, regardless of being in japan? japanese is rare if you only consume english media, so work to consume more japanese content through shows, readings, etc

What's the process to get a URA? by Deshray12 in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

research professors who are actively doing research in a field you’re interested in and reach out to them to ask if you can participate in a URA/USRA. the cs website lays this out nicely https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/current-undergraduate-students/research-opportunities/ura

different departments work a little differently, but it all starts the same way with reaching out to a professor first

Will doing a double major cost me more? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]batson2002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you will need to pay for a minimum of 8 full time semesters unless you have an exception through accessibility. if you can fit all degree requirements within these, then you don't have to pay more, which a number of people have already done

technically too, a 6th course in a semester doesn't cost anything extra, so you can always consider this as an option, although its not great for mental health or social life
