There are way too many people on campus, limited study spots, no parking. Why are all my lectures full of people yapping? Especially if they're recorded and attendance isn't recorded. Also since there is literally no study spaces, people are using designated silent spaces as a place to chat with their friends.

Like you don't have to come to campus! Let those that actually want to learn the space to do so please!!! Its basic human decency!

Does anything happen at SFU during Halloween? I have never done anything for it but this time I’m in the mood. Do people dress up on campus? I doubt it’ll be open on that day though. What do students do to celebrate Halloween?

So I was scrolling through my department’s faculty page because i was bored i guess. and one prof has an active study going that literally applies the content im learning in my degree with a legitimate strong hobby and passion of mine.

ive never had this prof before because they only teach upper division courses (and they’re actually not teaching any courses this year) and im only in my second year. when i go to the study website, they only have phd and masters students who have this prof as a supervisor. and the contact page only mentions “are you interested in opportunities to join the team as a phd student”.

im genuinely super interested in this subject though. And i know people say to just email and ask, but would that be appropriate to do? Because i mean… im an undergrad and their website only has graduate students on the team. And I’ve never had this prof. Should i wait until next year or something when i have a little more knowledge in my degree and maybe have taken one of this prof’s courses before reaching out? This prob reads as so desperate 😭😭

Hi everyone,

I’ve been sick for the past 2 weeks and I fell really behind on school. While I did try to push on and continue keeping up with my courses, I think there’s a limit to how much work I can get done in a day while sick. I don’t see any sign of recovery as well possibly due to me working while sick. I also work part time.

I was wondering if anyone had any advices cuz I’m pretty overwhelmed right now. Thank you.

I am a grad student coming to Vancouver to attend a 1 day conference. I was planning to stay the night at Vancouver airport because the conference ends at 8pm and my flight back is the next morning (dont want to splurge on a hotel). I'm bringing a gym bag with just a change of clothes and some toiletries, but I don't want to carry it to the conference and it'll look unprofessional as well carrying it around, is there somewhere safe on the campus where I can drop my bag off in the morning and pick it up after the conference? I am also willing to pay someone to leave it at their dorm and pick it up later. Would anyone be willing to do this?

The conference is close to SFU campus which is why i am asking here

I’m currently a student at SFU Beedie and I’m hoping to pursue accounting, but lately I’ve been feeling really discouraged about my academic performance.
My current CGPA is around 2.5, and I got a C in BUS 251 and a C+ in BUS 254. I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress trying to pay my own tuition and cover school expenses, and I feel like it’s been affecting my grades. I just started upper division courses
I genuinely want to pursue accounting and eventually build a successful career, but I’m worried that my GPA and these grades might make it difficult to get internships or find a job after graduation.
For those who studied accounting or work in the accounting field, how much does GPA actually matter when applying for entry-level accounting jobs? Is it still possible to get hired with a 2.5 CGPA, improve my chances through work experience, and eventually pursue the CPA designation?
I’m not expecting everything to be easy, but I want to know realistically whether I still have a good chance of building a successful career in accounting or if I should reconsider my plans.
I’d really appreciate any honest advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation. Thank you!

Hi! I'm starting my MASc in Engineering Science at SFU soon, and my offer includes guaranteed funding for two years.

I know this funding can come from different sources, including TA positions, but I'm a bit confused about how it works.

If I take on extra TA work, would that be paid on top of my guaranteed funding, or would it just replace part of what I'm already getting?

Also, how many TA positions do grad students usually take per semester? I'm trying to figure out if taking on more TA work is a realistic way to earn some extra money.

Would love to hear from anyone who's been in a similar situation. Thanks!

M23, asking- Anybody know anyone hiring for cx/customer service - in person or Work from Home (besides _ teleperformance*)

please dm me if you’re willing to give a referral - anything helps 🙏

I was told you only need them if you’re applying for scholarships but I’d like to get a second opinion

I’m planning on majoring in one of these with the hopes of doing an internal transfer to business or kinesiology since I couldn’t get a spot in pre calc 12. which would be easier?
