SFU Car Club First Meet — This Friday! 🏁

Hey everyone,

A few weeks ago I posted here announcing that we were bringing the SFU Car Club back, and the response was way bigger than we expected. A ton of you joined the Discord, followed the page, and reached out wanting to be involved.

Now it’s finally time for the first meet.

🏁 SFU CAR CLUB — FIRST CAR MEET

📅 Friday, August 21st
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
📍 Burnaby Mountain Park
📸 FREE photography on site

We’ll have our photography team out taking photos throughout the night, completely free.

And all cars/bikes are welcome. Your car doesn’t need to be modified, expensive, fast, or even particularly interesting 😭. Bring the project, the daily, the shitbox, your parents’ Corolla — we genuinely don’t care.

You also don’t need to own a car to come. If you’re into cars, photography, videography, motorsports, or just want to meet some people from SFU with similar interests, pull up.

A big reason we brought this club back was because SFU can feel pretty antisocial sometimes. You go to class, get in your car, and go home. We want the club to be somewhere people can actually meet each other and build a proper community.

The support on the last Reddit post was crazy, so hopefully we’ll see some of you guys there in person this Friday.

Bring your friends and come say hi.
Let’s make the first one a good one. 🏁

worth asking for a grade bump?

Im in CA149 and I just got my final grade back and its an 89.25, the min threshold for an A is a 90

For the final project i was given a 25.25/30 (needed a 26/30 for that A)

I was given a 0.75/1 for evidence of a screenshot showing all the layers to my final project on this software we have to use

My screenshot shows every single layer in detail and there is nothing missing whatsoever, I know its my word against theirs but there is literally no other component to screenshot

Im just wondering if anyone has experience with asking to bump up 0.75% of a grade and should I email the TA or the prof? Thank you!

SFU's campus ain't ugly

I went to study abroad and lowkey have more appreciation for the school. While the architecture isn't necessarily the best, it's alright. One thing that's rlly beautiful about SFU is its surrounding campus that I've taken for granted. Like, how often is it that a school campus is surrounded by mountains and water??? SFU lowkey needs more appreciation for its campus in the community and nationwide scale, the hate is overrated!

And, does anyone have any nice view spots at SFU that captures the beauty surrounding SFU (hike trails accepted too)? Kinda like these SFU images online but smth I can actually visit and not a drone shot? SFU's nature surroundings is actually so gorgeous that I really missed the views when I was abroad (you can take the girl out of the mountains and sea but you can't take it out of her)

How Similar is High School Math to Math 154 & 155 (BPK Major)

Which high school math topics are most essential for success in SFU’s Math 154 and 155 for the BPK major, and where do students typically find the biggest jump in difficulty? I am currently reviewing notes from high school and am wondering what I should focus on most when it comes to math. Thank you for your input!

Is Public Mobile coverage good on campus?

Hi, I am new to Canada and don't know which mobile operator I should pick. Can you suggest ones with good coverage that are not super expensive? Thanks a lot!

I am thinking of Public Mobile, is it good enough?

SFU's social media strategy on X makes no sense

Why is the official SFU account on X has basically devolved into a facilities management page. Instead of highlighting major publications, citation milestones, or academic excellence, it's sharing updates on garbage disposal and outages.

The actual sfu_it account literally retired their account!!

To me it's completely absurd that a major university uses its primary brand page like a campus alert system instead of actually celebrating academic achievements.

BUS 420 - Advanced Accounting- Fereshteh

Just went to my advisor and found out that it is apparently easier to get a better grade in BUS 420 during Spring. I showed her the RateMyProf pages for Fereshteh Mahmoudian and Jamal Nazari, and looking at my GPA, she recommended that I wait and take Jamal.

She said Spring is usually less competitive because many accounting students are away on busy season co-ops. In Fall, almost everyone is taking classes, including people working full time at Big Four, so the curve can be tighter.

Should I wait a semester for Jamal or just take Fereshteh this Fall?

Nearly flipped off at the counsellor during last session

Seriously, whoever started this stupid idea that therapy this therapy that is gonna solve your issue is a fraud.

I’ve seen like 8+ different counsellors throughout my entire life and not a single one of them is helpful. Especially at sfu. The last session I made, I decided to make my point clear on why I’m there in the first place and I told her directly and unambiguously, what the issue is and how to solve it.

As I expected and just like other past counsellors, she doesn’t answer the question. She plays mental gymnastics with me to keep me in a unsatisfied, controlled mental loop that I can’t break out of. Instead of giving a straight, simple solution, the convo always gets derailed into something else that has nothing to do with what I want to deal with. The result is to get me to keep going back in hopes of finding a better solution, but each and every time not getting one. This time, things got worse because she turned condescending and dismissive of the points I’m trying to bring up. At that point, I made the determination that she’s a shit counsellor and I wanted to hang up the phone.

I guess that’s their trick in getting you to keep coming back to try to milk as much money out of you as possible by not giving you a permanent fix and instead talking nonsense to waste an hour of your time.

I’m honestly probably gonna make a phone call and yell at the department for being useless workers who all they care about is their paychecks and not actually being the mental health support they claim to be

What is everyone's study methods throughout the whole semester? I study ofcourse but as a fourth year, I feel embarrassed that I haven't really figured out a 'system' for myself. I always feel like I'm floundering and reacting to what's coming up.

Expert tips/suggestions for Dorms?

Originally wanted to ask if anybody knew the dimensions of the student desks in Courtyard (planning to get a 'hutch' for additional storage but the stock photos make the desk appear to be very small...) and then figured experienced Dorm occupants might have lots of suggestions and tips to make that transition to a small space much easier... Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on the new parking update?

I kinda just wanna rant about SFU parking in general cause it actually pisses me off. I’ve been buying parking permits for the past 3 semesters and I still find it ridiculous how expensive it is ($336 per semester ?!?!). We pay thousands in tuition and somehow parking ain’t included. On top of this, I want to hear other peoples perspectives on this new parking update for the upcoming semester regarding dedicated areas for permit parking and separate areas for visitors. I think we all know that the beginning of the fall and spring semester is living hell when it comes to parking during peak hours. I remember I’d be circling the lots for so long to the point where I’ve missed classes. Do you guys think these designated areas will fix or improve anything ?

Feeling lost

Hello guys, I’ll be graduation with a crim degree from SFU and have no idea what to do. I’m moving to Winnipeg (a city known for crime) and i won’t get my full driving licence till February 2027. I have no idea where life is taking me. I won’t have anyone wherever I go and I’ll be on my own. I have no direction whatsoever and I’m feeling like I’m in a never ending maze. I’m kind of feeling that maybe I shouldn’t have pursued criminology. I’m thinking of volunteering in some organization to strengthen my application and actively looking for jobs related to my field. Is this feeling of uncertainty common? I’m overwhelmed. Guys please provide some advice or guidance.
