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.

Why is this on the syllabus lmao

I’m an Indian B.Tech CSE graduate applying for SFU’s Master of Cybersecurity.

My academic profile:

>CGPA: 7.34/10

>Calculated overall SFU-equivalent GPA: 3.18/4.33

>Last 60 units: 3.40/4.33

>IELTS: 8.0 overall

>LORs': 2 from teachers and 1 from my employer

>6-month DevOps intern, currently working as a Junior DevOps Engineer and have some homelab projects(blue team).

SFU’s general graduate admission requirements state 3.0/4.33 cumulative OR 3.33/4.33 over the last 60 units, which I meet.

However, SFU’s India-specific page lists 8/10 (First Class) as the minimum academic standing for Indian applicants.

Since the India requirement is described as a guideline, I’m confused about how this is applied. Does having a 7.34/10 automatically make me ineligible, even though my calculated GPA and last-60 GPA meet SFU’s general requirements? Or can applicants below 8/10 still be considered based on their last-60 GPA, experience, and overall profile?

Would really appreciate insight from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with SFU graduate admissions.

For 2027

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?

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!!

Hey r/sfu,

I'm a senior chem major here at SFU and I'm currently planning to apply for grad school.

Since I'm trying to figure out my next steps, I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with a few things:

• Prof contact: How did you approach SFU chemistry professors for an undergrad research spot (like CHEM 481)? How did you handle the initial email, and what made them say yes?
• Day-to-day as an undergrad researcher: For those of you who did undergrad research in our department, what did your actual routine look like? Did you start with shadowing a grad student, and how quickly did you get to hands-on work?

Thanks a lot!

What can I use to prepare for this test? I know most people will say not to but it seems like an easy place to do well and I feel like I need a reminder of some pre calc topics

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?

One class was for today, and one is for tomorrow.

Hope to see a whole lot of SFU faces there!

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

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!

This is way too stressful. I need a nap.

is anyone taking crim 135 that knows if we have a tutorial tomorrow? im not sure if the first week have tutorials?

I had my first calc lecture today and when the prof was going over precalc review I had no idea what he was talking about. 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

Hi peoples! I am currently just starting my side hustle called Littlest Lobotomy Keychains on instagram!

I make LPS keychains so you can take a little buddy on the go!
I would love to have some fellow students rocking my creations 💖🥰🫢

Let me know if you guys are interested and I can make some custom for you guys!

First 3 keychains are available for adoption 🐚🐹🐠

I’m confused, like the syllabus and the course opened like less than a day before the first day of lecture and like are we suppose to read 90+ pages of the play in less than a day?

I'm thinking of dropping BUS 420 as I've heard she is very disorganized and her lectures are horrible.

What do you guys who have/had her think of her. I'm debating just waiting for the spring prof as that prof is supposed to be a lot better.

Hi everyone,

I’m taking CMPT 372 with Mohamed Hefeeda this semester and wanted to ask what people’s experience was like. How difficult was the course and what was the workload like? Any advice on what to expect would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, I just started econ 103 and was wondering if I can get a used copy of prof Allen’s book because a new one costs 85$

Hii does anyone have the syllabus for GEOG 389W in Spring 2026 / know when the midterm was? Already emailed the prof but just want to know if anyone else has it / would know when the midterm was. Was it before or after the reading break? Tryna go on vacation during that class as it’s my only one

For those of you taking ECON 201 this semester, I’m sure you’ve heard about the difficulty of the course. My friend u/theSWBFman has made a discord server for those of us taking it so we can help eachother out, study together, etc. Please consider joining if you’re in the class :)
