Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because off campus housing creates flexibility. Also, a different environment outside the campus life is always a more refreshing experience. It is better to assimilate into and become familiar with life outside campus.

Personal comments
It was okay. The students are only allowed to stay in campus housing for 2 years and are required to move off campus their third and fourth years. Since I wasn't a beginning undergraduate student the accommodation situation didn't affect me as much. Plus the Post-Baccalaureate program at SFU was a one year program. After that I went back to North Carolina then to return the next year to SFU to enroll in the Masters in Publishing program.

Overall
I wish I had known...
That it rained so dog gone much. Also, the transit system was awesome. The seabuses and regular transit was A+. It would also have been awesome to know I would meet so many cool people. I do regret not having interacted with enough Canadians. I socially became accustom to Europeans and others from foreign destinations.

More international interaction. This would give rise to more cross-cultural exchange of ideas. This would be a fun experience to see the differences in everybody's culture.
