		<description><![CDATA[This is probably the last thing you want to see if you're dropping your daughter off at her new dorm.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I graduated Waterloo Engineering in 2007. I now work at the Canadian Space Agency on my Master&#8217;s degree. Some new co-op students have arrived, and among them is Steve, a fellow Waterloo student in second year Mechatronics. He had a great little story for me.</p>
<p>First, some context. The University of Waterloo (UW) is known as an engineering school, and tends to have an abundance of male students as a result. In contrast, Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) is known as an arts school, and tends to have an abudance of attractive women as a result. The two schools are quite close together, perhaps a five minute walk from campus to campus.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s September, and that means that a fresh new crop of students has arrived on both campuses, more than likely with parents in tow. I can only imagine the face of a nervous father, dropping his little princess off where she&#8217;ll live away from home for the first time, only to see this massive banner on an overpass above the biggest highway leading to both UW and WLU&#8230;</p>

<p>Poor bastards. I hope your daughter didn&#8217;t blush.</p>
