Comment on The Cost of Waterloo Software Engineeringparent

4) UoW has really bad reputation in the academical world and ppl doing basic research

Not being related to Waterloo in any way I have no skin in the game, but their combinatorial optimization department (which is part of mathematics) is very strong.

I guess this just goes to show that you cannot reliably evaluate a university as a whole.

yeah, I wanted to study their discrete optimization course but realized It might be too risky to specialize in your undergrad.

I also agree its hard to gauge a university with just one metric.

FWIW, there are students who studied C&O and then started data-oriented start-ups.
