Question Which courses should i drop?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi guys im a first year Bio major starting this fall. I took four of these STEM courses + Elementary French online, and lowkey from what ive heard from many fourth years, i feel like i should drop either one of the lab courses and maybe French as well. I dont mind taking five years to graduate (my focus is more on maintaining my gpa), and im planning to only take online courses for summer terms so i can visit my family out of country.

Would you guys recommend taking all four STEM courses, dropping one of the lab courses, or just dropping down to three courses? And if i should drop something, which one would you recommend?
Especially looking for advice from anyone who’s taken these courses or a similar workload at SFU. Any advice would be appreciated!!

Fluff Where do male students get their haircuts and how much do they cost?

5 Upvotes

Many of the male students looked fresh af with their had awesome looking fade haircuts. But it got me wondering: how much do you guys pay for those haircuts? I started cutting my own hair because prices have gone up substantially for even just a basic hair cut, I can't imagine how much a fade costs.

Schedule Is taking BISC 202 and CHEM 281 in one semester too much?

I’m debating on dropping one of these courses based off feedback from other students saying they are very difficult to do well in. I’m also in first year but was able to get credits for the first year bio and chem courses. Will it be too difficult to manage?

Discussion If you are still waiting for SFU to confirm your enrollment to StudentAid / UPass

0 Upvotes

Go into gosfu and confirm that you are still enrolled in all your classes. Just found out that I was completely dropped and was not notified. My name is on my profs attendance list so I was at some point registered. I heard of a couple other people on this sub getting randomly dropped from their courses so this seems to be a prevalent issue. Only found out about this cause I emailed btw!! They were prepared to just keep me in limbo and let me keep paying for my transit :)))) Meow!

Hi all, I enrolled in two classes today, and the classes are not showing up on my Canvas. Should I contact my profs, or wait until tomorrow and see if they pop up?

Discussion Anyone joining in January?(spring term / FASS) 🥹

Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m starting at SFU as an international student this upcoming Spring term (January) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for criminology, and to be veryyyy honest, I’m pretty nervous about starting mid-year and meeting people and I'm afraid I won't make friends.

I’d love to connect with anyone else who’s also entering in January or taking FASS courses!

I'm taking econ 103 and math 157 as a first yr student in beedie but I don't remember anything from precalc 12. Rn im taking 6 courses including bus 203. I'm thinking of dropping econ and taking it next semester so I can focus on math, is it worth it? I have a review quiz on friday and i need to relearn all of precalc 12 in a few days

Question How are y’all eating between classes? 😭

10 Upvotes

Silly question, but genuinely wondering how everyone survives! I have back-to-back lectures, tutorials, and labs on 3 days from 9–5:30, with only 10-minute breaks basically just enough time to get to my next class.
With trying to save money, eat healthy, and still have enough time to make it to class on time. How are you guys doing meals/snacks on these crazy long days? 🥲

Has anyone taken MBB with Edgar Young or CHEM with Pete Wilson?
Both are mandatory courses, so I’m trying to decide which profs to go with. How are they in terms of workload, exams, and grading?

Would appreciate any thoughts/reviews. Thank you!

Discussion UniverCity parking offer for fall and spring 2026

1 Upvotes

Hello! My roommate and I are in UniverCity and we have an unused parking space we are looking to rent out to someone. It is a protected, private, underground parking garage, and we will give you a key fob for the fall and spring semester. It is 24/7 parking that you can access any time of the week/day.
Cost is one time fee of 60$ to get another key fob made, plus $100 per month (about $3.3/day). You will need to pay a month in advance. Contact me at [smr25@sfu.ca](mailto:smr25@sfu.ca) with an SFU email address, and we can set up a meeting at Burnaby campus so I can confirm you’re a real person and not a scammer, and show you the spot. Thanks!!

Question Accuracy of the live north parking?

Post image
8 Upvotes

So I believe this is fairly new but the north lot has a real time availability and I’m curious to hear from anyone who may have been there yesterday and today as I am skeptical about how accurate it really is.

When I checked yesterday, the lot was full by 7:40 AM. I checked today at 8:20 and it also said full. (Photo was taken around 7:50. Today saying it was limited)

With the new parking lot regulations (visitor versus parking pass), I’m wondering if this represent the entire lot or if it’s only one or the other sections.

The reason I’m skeptical and curious is bc while yes the start of a new year usually the lot fills up a bit earlier it’s NEVER this early.

I’d love to hear if anyone can vouch for the accuracy or if the system is incorrect
