About WaterDen
A friendly, independent place for Waterloo students and alumni to swap co-op and job-search advice, find sublets and used stuff, and meet people with the same plans.
Independent, and not affiliated with the University of Waterloo
WaterDen is run by ChowChow Labs, an independent operator. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the University of Waterloo, and it is not WaterlooWorks. We don't use university records or logos. For official job postings, co-op rules and deadlines, always use the university's own services.
