Student review [#39153] for English and Creative Writing
at Simon Fraser University

At times, the university life on campus could feel secluded. At others, it was a peaceful retreat of higher learning. The classes were often engaging and interesting, even if the material hadn’t originally been something I felt particularly drawn to.

The professors, though varied, were attentive on a personal level I always appreciated, always willing to provide more information or guidance. They were also often very successful in their chosen fields, and this was evident in the course material. You will be challenged here, but your successes will be all the more rewarding.

I highly recommend taking classes at both the Burnaby campus and the Vancouver one, if possible. If I could go back and do it all again, I would like to try living on campus at the gorgeous, misty mountaintop location at the Burnaby campus.

I would also maybe take one or two more classes with my favourite professors (who knew Medieval Literature could be so funny?).

The only thing I wish they would continue to improve is the variation and availability of courses. There were a few times that I was unable to take courses I needed to graduate until a specific semester rolled around because the ‘required’ classes were not offered for two thirds of the year.
