[@bethszostak6247]

I’m going to be a freshman in college this year and I searched up college move in and stumbled around and found your channel I love your video you seem like an amazing person and friend I really went and watched all of your other videos 💗💗

[@vanessanoelle]

that means so much thanks girly! 😘

[@joshbingham2876]

This is for the Q&A: What is your most and least favorite aspect of being a student at UWaterloo? Also, what are some benefits that students at UWaterloo have that students at other universities don’t? Finally, how is the social life at UWaterloo? Thanks for reading.

[@sua6887]

Like the idea of the white board at first, I’d 100% do it!!! I love getting to know people

[@catherinesmith5793]

Could you do a video on tips for first year? Things like study habits how you took notes in class how you divide up ur time and esp if UW is acc as antisocial as they say, like are there any parties and if so how do u manage ur time to be able to hang out w ppl and party? It would mean a lot personally since many of the videos I’ve seen don’t answer these specific questions which are big deciding factors between the two schools I’m choosing (Western and Waterloo), thanks I hope you stay safe!

[@vanessanoelle]

i just added a comment where people can add questions for me to answer in a Q&A so I'll likely be filming that once I get enough questions. I'll for sure try to answer some if not all of yours there :)

[@vitalnwaokoro6284]

I’m in the same boat for the same reasons. Can’t seem to make up my mind between western and Waterloo 😓

[@catherinesmith5793]

Vanessa oh ok, do you kno if you’ll be able to do one by June 1, just cause that’s our deadline to submit our decisions

[@vanessanoelle]

How is residence life in waterloo? Which dorm or apartment would you recommend for first year students?

[@sanjanagandhi8323]

Hi I enrolled in waterloo this fall how are the athletic facilities available for non athletic students and how are the libraries on campus

[@emmapylant2906]

So I plan on applying as an international student is there any advice you can give on the application process?

[@aimeelandry3453]

Which residence is this?

[@iamxya]

what dorm is this??

[@daniellacao]

Hi, which program and residence are you in and what is the social life at UWaterloo? Your vids in Florida look really fun!

[@kaykay8262]

I’m going to be a freshman this year (planning to study civil engineering), and I was jus looking through vlogs about the Uni and your dorm looks BEAUTIFUL ✨👏🏾. I have a few questions, if you don’t mind answering: 1) what residence are you in? And which one do you think is the best? 2) how’s social life in Waterloo? 3) were the online classes interesting? (Probably a horrible question 💀) 4) overall, do you like the school? Or what do you think of it?

[@autumnlilly2366]

This is Renison University College residence on an all girls floor 🙂

[@kaykay8262]

Autumn Lilly thank you for the response! If you don’t mind, could you please also respond to the other questions I asked? I’m really curious 🌟

[@autumnlilly2366]

@@kaykay8262 I found the resident rather clicky. Lots of the athletic students and social development students tend to choose this residence. If you can get past this and find a couple friends you resonate with you should be fine. I made good friends with my don, Alex, because of his kindness, and maturity. The whole system for interviewing don's is rigged as well, so keep that in mind if you are an out of the box individual looking to become a don in this residence. The overall vibe of waterloo is very competitive. I came from a smaller university in my first year to transferring close to home to Waterloo and I wish I didn't do this. Everyone's experience is different, but other than meeting my husband there, I wish I had never transferred. Thought I'd be honest with you, so hope this isn't too much. The suicides and amount of people who recognize that they're just a number is a really difficult aspect of Waterloo. The teachers are competitive and have their own biases. Some are racist and others frankly don't care their students. Honestly I dont have many good things to say about the school. I hope that when you choose your school that it will be because of its character and values, a school that will know your worth and support you to become the best you and the real you. I hope your university journey uplifts you and challenges you, and that you become the best engineer you can be 🤗🌿. Hope this helps.

[@autumnlilly2366]

@@kaykay8262 I do think that Renison is the best residence to attend out of all of the university colleges and all other residents that are offered from Waterloo. You have a don on each floor that is there to help you engaged with other students and to help you if there is anything you ever need. It is also one of the most expensive residents. I was happy to recieved a scholarship for it, so if you can, those are always helpful! They probably have counseling services now (didnt when I was there), and their chefs work with students with allergies or specialty diets like veganism, vegetarian, halal etc. I was on the food committee, so if you want to be an influencing force in this, you can join it for your floor :). There are also intramural sports that you can sign up with your floor or friends if your don is into that or you keep an eye on it through the university sights. Right now all sports are off until Jan 1st 2021, so unfortunately that won't be an option until the following semester, but at least you know. Let me know if you have anymore questions 🙂

[@kaykay8262]

Autumn Lilly oh wow :( I already am planning to go to Waterloo and was finalizing all the visas with my family. But hearing this is, in all honesty, very disappointing and discouraging to hear. I’m not saying it’s your fault! I’m just surprised to hear the school is apparently like this. Not one positive thing :( I really hope that my experience at the school will be at least enjoyable for me. But thank you so much for the response and honesty!

okay go off ness

Hey Vanessa. I'm thinking of applying to school in Waterloo. I'm nigerian and I wanted to know if there's a Nigerian population over there.

Can I buy you a new camera I've been saving for 2 years canon cam

[@brendamillar8694]

Where did you get your comforter?

[@vanessanoelle]

IKEA! I can’t remember the name of it but I mentioned it in my dorm haul video. It was around 20 bucks and I still use it to this day. Just a heads up that if u have any newly dyed clothing it might stain. I wore a black tshirt from H&M and it left some blueish discolouring (but I guess that’s more the shirt’s fault than the comforter lol)

[@vanessanoelle]

Also the criss cross design on my bed is a separate blanket that I got from walmart
