A friend and I are incoming CS/BBA’s at Laurier and funnily enough most of our close friend group is right next door here at UW doing eng/cs/afm etc.
I was wondering what non-UW students are restricted to when it comes to things like areas on UW’s campus, UW student societies, UW events, and wtv else so we can find places to hang out.
Same question for UW students at Laurier’s campus.
wtf does this mean this has been brought up in multiple conversations ive had since committing to bba
I was deferred from Laurier Side BBA/UW CS but now I realize it might be for the better since I didn’t like the idea of commuting between the two campuses lol.
Very likely that I’m committing here. I enjoy both aspects and I’m looking to get into Fintech/PM/Tech Consulting or just something SWE/Business-y in general.
I know the BBA side is pretty good so I’m just concerned about the CS part. Has big tech been achievable in recent years? How’s the program and co-op in general?
Also random question but how’s Laurier’s diversity? I grew up as one of like six asians in a pretty homologous community so I also wanna get involved in the cultural aspect of uni.
I haven’t been to school for the past 3 weeks; about to be 4 since ill be on vacation.
Shit happened and I’ve been seeing a doctor for what is likely severe depression and anxiety that has led to sleep problems, panic attacks, poor diet, and agoraphobia. It sucks even more because I was about to turn my life around. I had a 91 overall and 87 for engineering but i
have only been accepted to 2/10 programs and the two that i was accepted to were schools that are suboptimal. one is too far and the other i cant get residence for and it’s a 2 hour commute for a mid program.
If i feel like absolute shit rn then ik uni is gonna be even worse. I’m glad that my parents are concerned for me but that makes me feel worse because ik im making them feel even more stressed and theyre spending lots of money for my treatment.
I’ve looked towards my options but it seems like taking a gap year is what is best. But it seems no matter how much i felt the pros outweighed the cons i just felt like i was coping with how bad my current situation was and that in the end it would just be a waste of time
I just feel like a fucking disappointment for doing it and i dont wanna talk to anybody i know because of it; I just don’t wanna talk to anybody in general. I look at how smart my peers are and then I look at myself and feel fucking pathetic because they still see the facade of a smart student that I’ve put up around them. They don’t know about my mental health problems or my tanking grades or the type of person ive become and i dont want them to see that. I’m just tired of it all.
