Anyone know that Volleyball guy who is kinda old and is balding?

I saw this really good volleyball player the other day. Not sure if he is a laurier graduate who just comes back to play volleyball with us kids, but I heard he was looking for a team.

He is kind of old, not sure if he is balding or if he has some sort of medical condition, but I want to see if he is still looking for a team.

Wanting to transfer into BSW from SSW to Laurier Brantford and have some questions

I'm currently an SSW (Social service work) student with a 4.0 (A+) entering my second year; I'm planning on applying to enter into 3rd year BSW at the Brantford campus and have some questions:

  1. What's the program like compared to SSW? My grades are excellent in college and I work hard, so I'm hoping I'll continue to have success in University, however, I understand there's probably a bit more reading etc?
  2. Can I finish in under 2 years? can I take courses in the summer to speed up the process (I'm a mature student and want to get done so I can work)
  3. What was your experience like in the program, what was the workload like, and did you enjoy your experience?
  4. Are my grades enough to get me in? I know there are limited spots and they consider more than just your grades

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Is partying still rlly crazy?

Laurier is known as one of the top party schools in Canada. And to be fair, i like that.

I am going into health sciences this next year at WLU Waterloo campus and I want to party, I like to party. It’s fun!

So I was wondering if the party scene in wlu is still the same as it was like 6 years ago. Bc I was on their Instagram and saw some of the craziest parties happening.

Anyone know if there are still some rlly crazy, fun and hellish parties around at wlu?

CP102 final, no cheatsheet?

I took CP102 knowing it was a bird and that the final exam wasn’t so bad if you had an A4 cheatsheet. It explicitly says on the syllabus that we can indeed bring one, but now we’re only given the notice that we can’t have one?

PEP Questions CS

I'm a second year cs student and I had some questions regarding the PEP Co-op offered at Laurier.

  1. Is it tough at all to get in, in terms of required GPA (What would be considered a safe GPA?) and interview process?

  2. I heard from a friend that you're able to do multiple different internships totalling to 12-16 months through PEP instead of one 12-16 month long internship (e.g: two 8 month internships, four 4 month), is this true?

  3. What type of companies and roles are offered in PEP, do you have access to the same jobs as the normal co-op portal?

  4. If anyone has a rough number, what's the placement rate for PEP students?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated

Laurier or Brock for data science?

I got into both Laurier data science as well as Brock data science (computational) and analytics.

I'm stuck between the two because I received co op option first year for brock, and laurier isn't even guaranteed in second year. Co op is very important to me and my goals because of the hands on experience.

Bottom line is which one is better in terms of: cost, post graduation employment rate, co op, social life, etc.

Failing a course first year

I’m fully sure I’m going to fail my IT101 course. It’s an elective and not needed for my program (comp sci). I just wanted to know how this is going to affect my co op and employability, and other things I should be aware of. Is it also worth redoing? Thank you for the help.

LOST PANDORA CHARM BRACELET

Last night on Nov 29th, I lost my Pandora bracelet which is super sentimental to me with so many memories attached to it (birthdays, milestones, charms from loved ones and ones that represent/remind me of my mom before she passed). It’s a silver bracelet with a heart clause. There’s 5 silver charms on there;

  • a purple breaded heart dangle charm
  • a kitten and yarn ball charm
  • a padlock and key dangle charm
  • a letter “K” charm
  • a cherry blossom dangle charm

I was at Prohibition Warehouse when I was wearing it. I was also walking down the strip of King Street afterwards when heading home. It truly breaks my heart that I have misplaced it. It is one of the most important things I have. If anyone finds it or knows where it can possibly be, please if you can reach out.
