- Being able to access the course material through canva online and being able to submit assignments online
Dislikes
- Having to attend in person for tedious things like handing in specific assignments. Because of my long commute this was not ideal for me
I wanted to stay in the lower mainland. Enrollment included a fee, questions to be answered in paragraph form about why I want to be a student at SFU, as well as grades entered from grade 10-12. I prepared myself online. I did not enjoy my experience overall, the campus was very cold, dark, not inviting. The students were extremely competitive as it was a pre med school major so making friends was very difficult. The faculty treated everyone like a number aside from their favorites, the courses were very difficult and detail orientated.
