这楼彻底歪了
91% of students co-oped in at least 2 different countries.One of the factors behind only 9% of students interning in Canada were restrictions from work visas which primarily affects non-Canadians.
The majority that co-oped in the US worked in California and specifically in Silicon Valley. One of the reasons for this is because Silicon Valley is the headquarters for many large tech companies that hire software engineers such as Google, Facebook, Apple, etc.
During 5 of the 6 co-op terms, there was at least one student working outside of North America. This included cities such as Stockholm, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc.

By the last co-op term, salaries tripled in comparison to the first.
Average monthly salaries per co-op term were $2914, $4236, $5895, $7981, $9338, $10015(in CAD, includes housing stipend).
The difference could be explained by the increase in salaries and stipends to compensate for the difference in living costs between different locations. For example, San Francisco housing typically costs a student between $1,500 to $2,500 per month. In comparison, Waterloo housing costs a student approximately $700 per month.

学习成绩好跟好的 CO-OP 并不成紧密的联系，大家同意吗？
Grades do not correlate with salary at all.In other words, having a high cumulative average does not imply that the student will get a good salary in the upcoming co-op term. This suggests that there are more important factors than grades when it comes to finding a good job.
Some companies do use grades as a cutoff to filter large amounts of candidates. However, many companies are aware that grades are not a good indication of how performant a student can be during co-op.
This suggests that if a student wanted to optimize for getting the best co-op possible, aiming for a higher grade may not yield the desired results, and their efforts can be redirected towards other involvements such as side projects.

Students who started coding earlier were paid similarly compared to students who started coding later.In other words, it doesn't matter if a student started at the age of 13 or 18. This suggests that students that started coding later are not at a disadvantage in terms of co-op job opportunities.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Canadian 97%
International 16%
14% of students are international, which is 4% fewer than University of Waterloo as a whole.This could be due to the higher tuition costs for international students, who pay 27% more than the average international tuition fee. This could also be caused by the Engineering Admissions having a max quota for international students.
International students came from countries including Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, China, Pakistan, South Korea, Indonesia.

GRADES
Study terms gradually become more difficult, but class averages remain consistent.3B was voted as the most difficult term by students. Despite being the most difficult, its class average was only slightly lower compared to other terms. This suggests that students progressively become better at coping with difficult courses.
