• They have 3 campuses, and each of them has a library and medical facility. Only the Burnaby campus has a gym and recreational area. Because it was far from my campus, I never used it but still got charged a fee for it. There are many extracurricular activities and events like Dog therapy, and recruitment events but all at Burnaby and mostly focused on undergraduate students.

• The university accommodations had a waitlist and were away from my campus, so I referred to a website affiliated with SFU residences and found a cheap and homely private room near my campus. I didn't face any challenges. I would recommend you do thorough research and reach out to 4-5 people before you land in Canada so you have a choice.

As a commuter school, it lacks extracurricular activities. However, you can attend clubs and meet different people.

Sharing with other SFU student. Average rent is around 700 for sharing a room.

Campus is pretty huge with facilities like soccer grounds, playstations, huge libraries, wifi on campus.

Very less rooms available on campus and are costly around 1000 CAD per month.

Campus life is good, not the best since it's on a mountain so accessibility is less. But the infrastructure, events held and extracurricular activities are all par with competing universities.

Living in a shared basement apartment with one more student in a private sharing room. Not comfortable sharing further details. Rent is between 700-1200 CAD around the university. Rent decreases as you go farther.

Campus life is quite happening. But, most of the events take place in Burnaby, which is far from here and a big drawback. The Surrey campus is within a mall so it's quite lively! There are options for students to enroll in extracurricular activities, you even get extracurricular credits for that. There are games in the mezzanine area almost every day. There's free wi-fi and a library in all the campuses.

On campus accommodation was quite expensive and available only in Burnaby. But I found a website on the university's portal it's called places4students, it's affiliated with the university and i was lucky to find a very cheap place within 2 kilometers. I'm paying 550 CAD for a private room in a townhouse. It's all inclusive, there's laundry, utensils, bed, table chair, heating electricity, water, everything's included.

The library was great, it had lots of space to study as well as many books available. Other than that I didn't partake in any campus life because of my commute I didn't spend much time on campus. It is difficult for me to comment on these matters.

I lived at home and did a 2 hour commute there and 2 hour commute back because I had no money. If I were to stay on campus, I would need at least another ,$12,000 per semester to cover my costs which I did not have.

SFU has lot of lot of recreational activities club, library, student union buildings, counselling units, labs etc. In my MPh program i am the only one Indian so I am currently studying with students from other country with diverse professionals. The campus is located on the mountain, you will get a beautiful view of the entire city from the campus. Its a 24*7 campus. You can see people in the campus at all the time.

I am currently residing on campus housing. And they are having Sfu residence also, but its little expensive. If we talk about the off campus housing, there are numerous. And SFU also post some of the housing availability in their portal. If you are staying in the SFU residance, we can pick the option of with/ without meal.

Off-campus, sharing with one fellow student. Paying 670 CAD for the entire room and common amenities. Considering Vancouver is expensive, the average accommodation costs around 500-700 CAD per month.

For it's highly intensive CS research program and community-centered campus.

I used to live on campus. Campus housing has single rooms and townhouses (for 4 people). The cost of each room is approximately $3000 per semester. The rooms are small but they are private rooms which definitely helps! Everyone on campus is extremely friendly and I would definitely recommend living on campus during your first year. I met almost all my friends through Residence and during the events held on the residence. There is a common dining hall that operates 24/7 for students who choose to take the meal plan. The meal plan costs approximately $2000 per semester. For those who do not want to take the meal plan, there are separate buildings that have kitchen units on each floor for you to cook. I now live in off-campus. The rent for an off-campus basement suite is usually anywhere between $600-1000 per person. This increases based on utilities, amenities, location, building type, etc.

I wanted to go to a university in Canada as I believe that there are more opportunities for students, especially international students, to succeed in Canada. I chose SFU because they have a really great business program focused on the concentrations I wanted to pursue. It is a very well-known university in Canada and is still affordable! While it might not be known internationally, in the networking events or interviews that I have been to here, many employers have great things to say about the university. Additionally, I received a scholarship which was probably the deal breaker that made me choose SFU over any other university!

It was close to my home and I didn't want to be in debt by the time college ended. I didn't feel I was ready to move out and be on my own. My school also has one of the top Health Sciences programs in the country.
