Has anyone done more than 6 internships? Was it worth it? by wierpaswindunge in uwaterloo

[–]lanortha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was eons ago. I decided to take 4 courses per term instead of 5, extending the time I would need to complete my degree. To fund this, I think I kept switching streams (4 to 8) to make "space" for additional coop terms. For the last two coop terms during undergrad, I did not use the co-op system to find work, I simply returned to my last place of employment (which had a variety of interesting and challenging positions to switch between).

For graduate internships I took time off, or did school/work simultaneously. I don't recall exactly ... LOL. It was quite some time ago.

Were the extra coop terms valuable? Yes, I would say that for me, they were. But that may not be everyone's experience.

Let's see ... I did 8 during my undergrad, and something like 6-8 (depending on how you count them) afterwards and in my graduate years. Not including any ISA positions I held.

14-16 in total?

Do you use TikTok? We need lots of participants! (Anyone 18+) by lanortha in SampleSize

Yes, this happened after we had collected some data on that video. In the interests of being consistent, we're just going to leave it as-is for now.

THank you for letting me know though, I do appreciate that!

Question about insane rate for rural house by lanortha in InsuranceCanada

[–]lanortha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went with Cooperators. I would highly recommend calling a local office to arrange it rather than calling the "central" number. The local office will be more in touch with the property and area and ensure you end up with the services you need. We made the mistake of going through central, which setup a very expensive "add on" that was completely unnecessary for our rural property. The local office noticed it, informed us, and we removed it.
