Simon Fraser University (reviews)

The CRIM program at SFU is great. They offer a lot of courses that go beyond the basics of crime. The most intriguing to me was Family Violence and Criminal Justice. The professors within this program really care about what they teach and the students. I’ve found most of my TAs to be super nice and helpful. In regard to the student life, the school offers many clubs and co-curriculars. There are constantly events all around campus to engage the students.

Being a science student at SFU, I really enjoy the friendly environment at my faculty. The professors are very kind and caring. I get a lot of help in labs and the teamwork is amazing at SFU. Although the workload could be stressful sometimes, some professors allow you to extend the deadlines. This really reduces my stress level and allow me to do better at the assignments.

The program is great and convenient as many classes are offered remotely or as distance education with asynchronous lectures. The professors are super nice and available for helping with assignments and career prospects.

I love how we get to logically think to solve problems. There is not only one way of solving a particular problem. Different methods lead to the same solution. I like how the math courses are structured. They allow me to think in details.

I really like the friendly atmosphere of the school! I felt like I wasn’t being judged or looked down upon. The campus could use a bit of updating since the buildings are very gray and made of cement; therefore, it gives off a cold vibe during the winter/rainy months. I like that it is on top of a mountain because it feels special and away from the rest of the city–like a little getaway place. Overall, I will miss this university when I graduate because of all the memories I made!

Awesome environment, never had to think about if I fit in the community or not. Because of the need for my program, I had to work with groups a lot. Met many friendly people and still talk to them from to time. The professors were really nice too, though some students did complain about the weighted grades for some courses. Overall, I had a fabulous time on campus and online.

I love the diversity of economic courses at SFU as I was able to choose the courses that matched my interests. The professors were kind and helpful. The only thing the school should improve is to offer more concentrations for the economic program.

It must be so different now since more courses can be delivered online. Back then, I used to really dislike commuting to school as the bus was also so packed going to the campus and coming back home; I’d feel exhausted after the commute, not because of the study.
Student’s life could be fun if you picked a club and dedicated your time to it. You can build your social circle with the people of the club you join.
The hardest part is definitely the exam period, presentation deadlines, and group work. Group work is the worst among those three, as you don’t get to pick people whom you wish to work with most of the time.

Although the professors are great I oftentimes feel that they don’t properly equip us with strategies to be ready for the exam. I am fortunate enough to have figured this out early enough to find ways to educate myself.

I love the diverse community we have and the endless amount of events and opportunities catered to the students of SFU. I do believe the school lacks in communication sometimes, especially when students notify the professors or staff of their concerns. Despite that, it is a good place to network and experience new opportunities and hobbies.
