β β β β β Not very accessible. Closed at the slightest bit of snow. Options are so limited for those in the suburbs to transit making it impossible for some to leave their car at home. Sadly when forced to bring your car you also have to pay the most ridiculous parking fees. How on earth can starving students afford theses.??? $26 a day!!!!!!! This is wrong and not fair to our kids who already have to pay a fortune just to go to school. They shouldnβt have to worry about parking feeβs, this is a huge stress for any students that donβt have the time to transit. It takes minimum 2 hours to transit and approx 30-40 minutes to drive from where a lot of students live... making driving the only feasible option. Something needs to be done about parking fees ASAP!! Good location for photo shoots though:/

β β β β β This place desperately need better direction signs.
I discovered that sfu has an online map to help you get to your class it is not that good either.
That said the professors overall are good and reasonable with expectations. (From my limited experience in the social sciences).

β β β β β Is it a good school for undergraduate? Yes, if and only if you are a Canadian PR and above and failed UBC while you do not want to move to the east of Detroit or Okanagan area.

β β β β β A great university with strong business program. Located on the top of Burnaby mountain, which provides the perfect location for higher level education. Plus, it has more snow days which may cause cancellation of classes, a bonus for some students, Iβm sure. It also has a strong co-op program to help students gain some practical experiences before their graduation.
I personally did the co-op program before my graduation, 4 terms of it, a little extreme, but it helped to pay for my tuition fees, which is not getting any cheaper these days, and I believe the experience(Accounting and Internal Audit) also helped me to obtained the job offer right after my graduation (I had 1 week off after my graduation before starting my full time job as an accountant, which I kind of regret a little now, lol).
I wish the sky train could connect from production way station to the campus though, but the bus run is frequent enough. Thereβs plenty of developments around campus now which provides convenient rental units for students, enable them to walk to school, although price is not cheap. There are plenty of restaurants on the east side of the campus. The parking is a lottery system, and there are a lot of people fighting for it.
Overall, a great school, and Iβm a proud graduate from SFU.

β β β β β I've been hearing interesting things about this school's transition to SFU programs. such as preventing students from transferring with an excuse at the end of the year and ensuring their attendance at the FIC...
does anyone have experience with this? This is something I personally heard from the graduates of the school.

β β β β β Came here for the degree, stayed because it's near impossible to complete a 4 year degree in 4 actual years.
If you want to meet interesting people and make connections, you're going to want to join student unions and clubs. There's a ton of student-hosted events, and they're a great way to make friends, learn new things, and have fun while on campus.
The Burnaby campus itself is decent, and only about a 10 minute walk from end to end. It's entirely possible to catch back-to-back classes, but you might have some trouble navigating at first. The SFU room finder will be your best friend for the first couple of weeks while you're trying to figure out why room numbers go from 3000 to 10000 after a single flight of stairs.
I know this review is being a bit satirical, but all in all, SFU is not bad. Between SFU and other universities around the area, it still remains my top pick for a computer science degree.

β β β β β I used to study at SFU. I am happy to visit here again in such a nice fall weather. The air is fresh and crisp. Less cars and less air pollution on the mountain. The university has changed a lot in terms of look, technology and environmental wise. Many new developments are under construction. More restaurants, shops and pubs are running up here. Students, professors, and educational staff can enjoy the university life more here. All the infrastructure, interior design and rebranding have done very well. Here can be one of the tourist attractions indeed ?
