Post-Secondary Campus Tour

Simon Fraser University's Surrey campus sits above a shopping mall, offering over 100 undergraduate and 45 graduate programs. It has no on-campus gyms but provides access to nearby facilities. Class sizes are typically 75-80 students for first and second year courses and 35-40 for third and fourth year. While the campus location above a mall was surprising, its accessibility to transit was appreciated. There is no on-campus residence and the lack of gyms was disliked, but the campus would be considered as a third choice for application.
