Having done co-op myself, one thing most students don't seriously consider is taking extra time to get your degree - also doable for international students like I was. Don't take a full course load if you feel overloaded and stressed, especially in the upper years. In my case, I used the extra time on multiple side projects and sports, and lived with my SO and cat. My upper years at university were fantastic.

If you're in engineering at Waterloo, you don't have a choice about course load - you must have a full course load at all times.

  That's unfortunate. I hope the option is added for the sake of the students' health.

    There is an unofficial option. Failing a term or two. We have a saying that engineering can be the worst five years of your life or the best seven.
