Simon Fraser University (reviews)

I left a technical school looking for a university that helped me understand media in a deeper way. I wanted to learn the power and the pitfalls of communication, and how it shapes our society. At Simon Fraser University I cerntainly found what I was looking for – It was small pieces of gold.

Through my classes, I gained a deeper understanding of media and left longing to use these tools to be of service to others. My classmates, however, seemed more concerned about job opportunities, which is understandble. By the end of my studies I noticed professors advocating for more “practical” courses so that students felt better prepared for the workplace. While job preparation is important when investing in one’s education, we can never neglect taking time to understand the heavy weight of responsability we carry in the media industry. Even though I have gained valueable knowledge, SFU often felt transient.

People were always comming and going, not really looking to make strong, lasting connections. Yet, even though SFU did not provide a great sence of community, I am deeply grateful for the insights I gained – each one a small pieces of gold.

The courses were academically challenging and helped me build a stronger understanding of economic theory, data analysis, and research methods. Some professors were very knowledgeable and supportive, especially when explaining complex concepts and guiding students through assignments or research projects. I would recommend this program to students who are interested in economics and willing to put in consistent effort.

SFU is a beautiful campus with a wonderful STEM program. I never went there for long but I enjoyed my time there. It was a difficult program and managing everything could be tough but it was well worth the effort. If I wanted to go back to school, I would go here.

SFU has some of the world’s best professors. Each and every one is caring, welcoming, and passionate about their area of study. This helps students to be connected and motivated with their learning, knowing they have amazing role models.
