Who is at Waterloo?

Post subject:  Who is at Waterloo?

I noticed that nearly every post in the new student life forum mentions Waterloo, so clearly Waterloo students have a strong presence here. It occurred to me that I could know some of you from a club or class without knowing it. Or if not, I probably see most of you around from time to time. I know there is or was a list of people attending Waterloo on the wiki, but I think it is incomplete. So I was hoping people attending Waterloo could list their year and program below and what residence they are in. For example:

I am a first year CS student living off-campus.

2A Mathematical Physics living off campus.

I saw the article you wrote in MathNews about how to fix the holes in your high school math knowledge. Nice stuff. Are you going to be continually writing for MathNews?

No, we have a strong presence in Waterloo Wink

Lets say that I'm in 1B CS. Changing majors is not pretty.

Glad to know someone is reading my article. I hear MathNews is quite popular among upper-years, but not a lot of first years seem to be reading it. I plan to keep writing for it through the year... I don't have anything in this week's issue because I had a midterm during the production night, but maybe by the next issue I will come up with something.

Thats actually how I originally worded it, but I changed my mind Smile . I guess changing majors is a pain, but do you find the mechatronics (iirc?) background helps you much?

When it comes to programming or even computers - not at all.

It does help with pulling all-nighters and doing crazy workloads though.

Is anyone taking CS134 with me? Laughing (yes, I have to get that done... it's a cruel cruel world of oversimplified Java)

I live off-campus too. With Cervantes, actually.

I will be at UW in a few years if I don't make MIT. But I'll make MIT... I just like to think that.
