Your experience with SFU greatly depends on your department of choice. Go to the CS department, and you’re in for 4 years of verbal fist fights with advisors and teachers alike. Go to the English department, you’ll find a fantastic place with smart and comforting people where almost every class seems once in a lifetime. Regardless of department though, the school can be pretty hands-on, hands-off in the most annoying ways possible that’ll interfere with your degree, take care in how you spend your time here
