    To all those who replied to my earlier posting re:Laurier, Thanks!

 

 

  Many of you suggested that I apply to University of Waterloo, I would

completely agree with you, if it were not for some basic precepts which

have caused me to neglect UofW.

 

  First of all, let me say that I have been to UofW and I like it very
much

and I have friends who are currently there (and probably reading this)
and

I have heard only the best from them, as I am from you.

 

 

   However....

 

 

  Do to Ontario regulations I am only permitted to apply to 3
universities

and as George Bush say's "it wouldn't be the Prudent thing to do" to
apply

to Waterloo because of there high mark cut-offs and low secondary
evaluation.

 

  Secondly UofW's  CS department is within the Math Faculty which
unfortunately

is a turn-off to me. Don't get me wrong I love math, and I am taking all
the 

math OAC courses but I don't think I want a Math degree.

 

  

  My main interest lies towards the Hardware side of computers, or even 

REALLY low level software Ie:interfacing to ports and busses. So, I
applied

to UofT's Computer Engineering (I was in their summer course program
last year)

and also to Carleton Aerospace Engineering (my ideal application (if
only it

weren't in Ottawa)).

 

 

  So there you have it. Any further comments would be more than
appreciated!
