moneyfaery Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Except the food!! Waterloo's campus food is disgusting haha. And the campus is not very pretty either. But of course, academics >> campus/food, especially if you're going for maths/engineering. Congrats!Eughhh, I agree! The food is horrible and expensive. I won't be living in Village 1 or Ron Eydt Village because of the mandatory food card. I will learn how to cook! (regardless of where I end up) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(regardless of where I end up) My boyfriend lives in V1 and when I go to visit, I'm forced to eat V1 food for the weekend. I barely eat when I go there because the food is so gross. Makes me really appreciate the food at Mac haha. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find their method of teaching that effective or attractive though - I do not want to take the same courses as all the other science students first year.

Then Queen's after that and then I would say Mac. U of T is too big and separated, Waterloo is also weirdly separated into different parts. Guelph has the best food on campus hands down though.

greaterthaninfinity Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Haha, I love Queen's campus... even though I haven't much to compare with because the only campuses I've seen are York, UT, Ryerson, and Queen's. Queen's gives a high-almighty-I'm-better-than-you vibe at times though. :| Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongfufu Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Anyone got X-ray technology for Queen's yet? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaterthaninfinity Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) I'm aware that some people have definitely already received their offers for X-Ray technology. Edited March 15, 2009 by greaterthaninfinity Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongfufu Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I heard they only accept around 20 people, and 6 of my friends already got in from my class. Haha my friends make up 1/3 of the whole program. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaterthaninfinity Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Wow, that's crazy... I'm surprised that Queen's admissions didn't even seem to try evening out the distribution of people in terms of what school they came from.

moneyfaery Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Why should they care? If they get able candidates = yes please. Tbh, I hadn't even heard of X-Ray Tech until now. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongfufu Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Haha, I got into math/stats program at Mcmaster (which I didn't even care about). Then I checked the enrollment, they only accept 50 people . Is math at Mac good? Better than Waterloo or U of T? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Nothing math/engineeringy beats UW! For some programs, I swear they wayyyyyy over offer spaces because the univs know people won't go there e.g. Ottawa accepted everyone I know who applied. They gave me an offer 3 or something days after I applied through OUAC!! Edited March 17, 2009 by Irene Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I go to Mac haha..honestly the only reason most people would choose Mac as their top choice is for the health sci program, the other programs here aren't really reknown.

Ongfufu Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 True, true, I already got into UW, and I'm 80% sure I'm going there now. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaterthaninfinity Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Wow... so many future UWers. I'm graduating in 2010 so it's a little premature for me to excessively worry about this stuff...BUT. I was just wondering, to everyone who's in uni now studying sciences - do you think IB actually helped you, curriculum-wise, for university? I mean, yeah, IB definitely helps us develop good habits for uni but how much of a head start does it give in terms of the actual course material? Do you find that your classmates are caught up with you now or are you still finding your courses to be a "review" of what you learned in IB?

Do you find that your classmates are caught up with you now or are you still finding your courses to be a "review" of what you learned in IB?I'd imagine that would only be the first term, at the most. IB gives you a head start, but not that much of a head start. I think I am 90% set on UW now. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
__inthemaking Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Didn't really give me a headstart. Yeah, I knew everything in chem already but there's also some new stuff that's introduced. In bio it was completely different but I'm not taking a general biology course, my program makes us take cellular and molecular biology first year so it was all about neurotransmitters, drugs, agonists/antagonists etc, which bio SL didn't cover.

Ongfufu Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Haha, Irene what program did you get into at UW? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyfaery Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Biomed. Easy program to get into, hehe. The only downside is that there's no co-op. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongfufu Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ah, I thought UW is all co-op. Guess not. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
