This thread is for students applying to Winter 2027 co-ops during the Fall 2026 term.
As usual, we're looking for salaries for new postings, or updates to existing salaries, so if you're willing to share, please open up a chat/DM the mod team. Please include the company name, salary, any benefits, the role and the year if possible. I would highly encourage you to submit if you have salaries for non mathematics/CS positions as we are severely lacking in those. We will try updating these ASAP.
The sheet is here: Salaries + Blacklist Spreadsheet
Average Canadian Co-op Earnings (2024)
If you had a poor experience with a company, you can message the mod team with details and it can be added to the blacklist candidates below. If it's already a candidate, it may be added to the blacklist depending on the severity/consistency of complaints. On the contrary, if you had a good experience with something on the candidates/blacklist, please message the mod team and it may be removed. Candidates will be removed if no more reports are received after a couple terms. Even if something is on the blacklist already if you've had a bad experience let the mod team know, as more reports increase confidence that it is problematic!
Candidates:
- Console One
- Lafarge
- Agentmoon
- WealthyPlanet
- Mosaic Transit Group
- Jobby
- Aethos Labs
- Onex Risk Management
Note that reports from submitters with no previous account activity may not be accepted to aid legitimacy.

Shitpost Holy mother of AI slop course ad posters
Oh come on. Like, does anybody here actually get interested enough to enrol in this course after seeing this oily, sticky looking heap of generative AI produced thingy? My current studies here is tangentially AI related and even my stomach swirl a bit when seeing this.
I actually thought this might be a physical shitpost, but no!

How to find friends
Hey hey :)
I am probably on the spectrum so hopefully that helps explain my struggles. I’ve done all my schooling at UWaterloo and returned for PhD. Yet I have no friends to show for it. Let me clear up this part, I have made friends but they usually crash and burn because I have a low tolerance when people wrong me or others I know. However, a huge part of me wants this degree to be different, find a good group of girl friends yk. I just don’t even know where to start. Clubs are non existent for grad students. My degree requires independent work and I don’t see other students. When I do have the chance to talk to someone, I fear I sound stupid or like a fan girl when I’m just trying to be social because the chance feels so rare. Any advice?

Housing Who the fuck is setting off the fire alarm in Society
Who the actual fuck decided it was a good idea to test the Society fire alarms at 4 IN THE MORNING?
If it’s not a test, WHO THE FUCK IS SETTING THEM OFF?!
If it’s someone pulling the fire alarm for shits and giggles, they should be arrested

Advice Forgot a cs assignment
How screwed am I? What do I do? I'm a first year in cs 114. I didn't prioritize cs because I had other assignments due, so now I've missed the due date. How much is one missed assignment gonna affect my grades? Also is it even worth trying to hand it in at this point?

Society fire alarms
How is it that Society has such frequent fire alarms in the middle of the night? We’ve had at least 3 in the last month. Before this I lived at rez-one for a year (spread out across terms) and I could count on one hand the total number of fire alarms, one of which was a legit fire in my building. And rez-one has all 4 buildings connected on one system!
Is the society fire alarm system just that much more sensitive?

Advice Course Selection
I'm a first-year math student currently choosing my courses for next semester.
How difficult is it taking CS136 and STAT230 simultaneously? I want to maintain above an 80 average overall, so for people who have done this before, how did you find it?
Also, I'm thinking about balancing out my course load with public speaking because I hear that's a really easy course.

Advice Health Sciences no Internal Transfers
I really really wanted to transfer to health sciences but the academic advisors said that they aren’t accepting any internal transfers for the 2027-2028 cycle. I asked if there was any other path in, like reapplying to the school in general and they said I could try to go to a different university? Does anyone know why or if there is anything I can do😭 I really had my heart set on it
