Studying in the School of Communications seemed basic at first but as the years progressed the more challenging the material got. In addition to that, the subject of study became all the more interesting and thoughtful.
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.
If you choose the good professors, you will have a good experience. SFU has a better program than some other universities in that you can apply to coop earlier because you can choose what major you are doing earlier. However, SFU's grading system does tank your grade a little because it does it by letter grade and not percentage, meaning that if you want to convert from letter grade to percentage, you have to round down to the lowest percentage range of that letter grade.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2025. Universities with a score above 4.0 (out of 5) in any of the 7 award categories, receive Badges of Excellence. Congratulations!
