UW unofficial tour (+compsci meetup) 2009

[Tony]

alright guys, you can arrange for a Dominican compsci meetup over PM.

What are everyone's thoughts on Saturday, March 21st?

[cavetroll]

Ya, sorry for going a bit off topic. I can make it on March 21st.

[A.J]

sounds good

thats a good day

[implosion]

cool, this sounds like fun ? whats gonna happen through out the day ?

[Tony]

we'll tour through the campus -- you'll get to check out what UW is like on the inside, and hear the stories of my journey through the undergrad and opinions on everything. We'll stop by one of the residences as well.

Then we'll hang out at a local pub eating wings and talking about anything -- school, CS, compsci, DWITE, co-op work, whatever. From last year's writeup:

Quote:

What I find the best about such tours, is that they are very social events, not scripted ?sell this University to students? guides. Over food, the entire group discusses the tour, the impressions of campus, the quirks specific to this University, but also why we still stick around. It?s a good mix of prospective high school students with University undergrads that generate a compelling discussion.

For combo points, everybody was also a compsci.ca member, so it was an excellent chance to meet and get to know the people in the community. Besides the Waterloo?s campus, we also got to discuss the Canadian Computing Competition, DWITE, obviously Computer Science and Programming, but also the structure of the Universe and the elective courses one can take to understand it all better.

Anybody feel like paying my ticket from Edmonton to Waterloo? >_>

No?

Sorry can't make it then.

Ah well, someday I'll be done with my BEng then I will work, and work you can ask for time off.

Yes.

Also, I'm interested in Carleton/Ottawa -- we've been over this. As long as it's on a weekend If anyone from Waterloo / Guelph / Toronto area is interested in going, we can carpool. We'd just need to find a place to crash overnight in Ottawa.

I'd be interested (waterloo/guelph), however I don't know if it will fit in my schedule in the near future

We should definitely have one in Ottawa!
And for the main one, I won't be around, I'll be in England (U.K.).

But seriously, let's have on in Ottawa sometime!

Fixed. I can attend something like this.

The 21st is definitely better, however I'd still have to find some transportation from Toronto. For now I suppose you can put me down as a maybe.
