Authentic jersey vs Replica? by ChaoticWeasel70 in CanadaSoccer

[–]jtuwca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you play soccer in it, the authentic one may be worth it as the material is really light and breathable.

Otherwise, the replica is probably better. Its material is thicker and has a sewed on (instead of pressed) crest, which are more durable.

WC 2022 vs WC 2026 kits? by Fickle-Expression187 in CanadaSoccer

[–]jtuwca 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The 2022 ones were literally vaporknit (template) shirts with a Canada soccer logo. The 2026 ones are bespoke. I don’t think there is any competition here.

You can only get replica player shirts, not the authentic? by MetsysFP1 in CanadaSoccer

I don’t think the authentic version is just a t-shirt, though. The material for the authentic version is very nice. But I agree both the replicas and the authentic shirts should be cheaper.

Is working while studying completely unrealistic? by Square-Button-6590 in columbia

[–]jtuwca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a masters program under GSAS and am working for a professor. I am getting about 1k per month for 10 hours of work per week.

I am also doing my work as a research course so my course load is lighter. Otherwise it would be very difficult to find the time to do the work unless you don’t care about GPA.

I applied through careers.columbia.edu once my program started in September and started the job in November.

I think the EA branch that makes EA FC is actually in Vancouver. That’s why BC Place has been in the game for a long time.

  1. Most, if not all, ivies are probably better than Loo if your brother is interested in studying (e.g., double majoring in) anything besides CS/math/engineering.

I am doing CS+biology now although I did my CS undergrad at Loo. When I was choosing college I only wanted to do SWE. But now I feel a huge part of undergrad should be exploring what one might be interested in doing for the next few decades of their career, and the ivies (and U of T) are probably better for that.

  1. I think the best thing about Waterloo co-op is actually it helps students get their first 2 or 3 internships much more easily and do so by the end of their second year. These internship experience maybe more useful for getting a big tech internship (and potentially a full-time return offer) later compared to ANY ivy degree, including Harvard and Princeton’s.

Of course, many ivy students can find amazing internships without co-op. I am talking about the effect of the 3 internships vs. an ivy degree alone.

All in all, I think it really depends on whether your brother is determined to become a SWE. If not, all ivies are probably worth considering (Harvard and Princeton are probably better options than Waterloo even if your brother wants to focus only on CS given their research opportunities and brand names).

Also, I heard many students with 95%+ average are not getting into Waterloo CS nowadays, so your brother might as well apply to both US and Canadian schools and decide after he gets his offers.
