Gurashish Suri: Simon Fraser University

I was particularly drawn towards the program, it was of my liking and would give me better opportunities at work. Moreover, it followed a hybrid model, with in-person classes only once a week in the evening which gave enough time for part-time work. Focus was on assignments which helped build my portfolio and upskill myself. There were no exams and the program was solely based on individual and group assignments....Read More

It's been different from how we learn in India, there are research papers to read and that's where you absorb all your learning from. You may take a week or two to get used to it, but it's quite helpful. Just make sure you read smart or it'll take up a lot of your time. It's one of the best universities! Staff is ever helpful and looking forward to give you the support and nudge required at any point of time....Read More

I wanted to stay in the lower mainland. Enrollment included a fee, questions to be answered in paragraph form about why I want to be a student at SFU, as well as grades entered from grade 10-12.

The faculty treated everyone like a number aside from their favorites, the courses were very difficult and detail orientated....Read More

I wanted to go to a university in Canada as I believe that there are more opportunities for students, especially international students, to succeed in Canada. I chose SFU because they have a really great business program focused on the concentrations I wanted to pursue. It is a very well-known university in Canada and is still affordable! While it might not be known internationally, in the networking events or interviews that I have been to here, many employers have great things to say about the university. Additionally, I received a scholarship which was probably the deal breaker that made me choose SFU over any other university!...Read More
