12. How can I get involved with athletics or clubs and societies? You can get involved

Rec Centre for swimming or working out for free as a student. To join clubs, you
can contact the Simon Fraser Student Society as they organize and have all the
student clubs you can join.

13. What surprised you about campus? What surprised me about the campus is why
the building was shaped the way it was: to create better sound in lecture halls,
and the fact that it had a lot more programs than I thought it had.

14. What did you like about the campus? What I liked about the campus was that it
was located in the mall, and also in the heart of Surrey. This would make it
convenient for eating out, shopping, and for taking the bus too. The other thing I
also like was how the building seemed very interactive for students because of
the way the building was shaped and they also had a games room, which was
neat.

15. What did you not like about the campus? What I didnt like about the campus was
that the layout of the school was somewhat difficult to understand, and they didnt
have a lot of the classes I want to take.

17. Would you apply to this Campus? Yes.
