What stresses you at SFU?

edited April 2008 in General
I saw a bulletin board at school on which people posted answers to that question so I thought I'd see what you guys would say to the same question :tongue:

    could they be laughing at you with good intentions? thinking that you are naturally a funny person? =D

    what stresses me out: lack of food choices and among a whole bunch of things but let's see what others have to say before i post up my list.. =P

    Profs and TAs that can't speak english.

    Only thing that really stresses me out is the damn money.
    Marks I don't give a crap about, I'll graduate with my 2.5 or so, haha.
    But leaving with 15-20k in debt, arghhhhh

    and no... they laugh with hate in their eyes lol

    I thought that whole "sidewalk is dangerous" thing was one of those ridiculous first year visual arts projects.. but no, apparently the sidewalk actually is dangerous.

    Wireless internet at SFU stresses me out.
  • edited April 2008
    Wireless would stress me out too if I was port scanning and got caught too :p

    What stresses me out? Definitely lack of food choices, or TAs who can't speak English, except those frustrate me more than stress.

    Passing finals I would say stresses me out.

    Expensive and bad-tasting food.

    the funny thing about that board is there are a handful of things on there that are "things that relieve stress" which is kinda stupid cuz i guess somepeople cant read the question....

    I am very lucky that I have "rich" parents who can pay me all the way to a Ph.D. However, it is probably course registration and the admin that stress me out.

    when im trying to get into effing courses and i check 5 times a day and the first day i dont check because im studying i missed 3 open seats in two classes
    f***
  • edited April 2008
    Ugh.
    I've been thinking about doing a Health and Nutrition certificate along with my degree, so I've been trying to get into some KIN classes. I e-mailed the advisor (because there were seats saved for KIN students) showing my interest, but explicitly stating that I didn't want to declare anything yet.
    She sent me a very brief e-mail back saying she had enrolled me in the program, so now it's on my transcript, etc etc.
    Does anyone know what will happen if I complete my degree requirements, but not the certificate requirements? I'm in Co-op so I'm going to be in school longer than usual anyway....this may be a super stupid question, but I just want to confirm that I don't be affected if I drop out of the program, or if I just don't complete it.
    I asked the advisor two days ago and still haven't heard back. Nice communication!

    What is this "the sidewalk is dangerous" thing that everyone is talking about? Where is this and how the hell did i miss it?
  • edited April 2008
    Over by Cornerstone, on the way from the bus loop to the ASB, there's a sidewalk that is taped off with a big sign that says "Danger, sidewalk closed" or "Warning, sidewalk is dangerous" or something like that.

    -crappy wireless,
    -faulty registration system,
    -expensive parking pass,
    -lack of good food,
    -non existent coffee shops (unlike ubc which has a real tim ho's and many starbucks, well unless you count renaissance)
    -fobs who smoke and spit on ground (i dont mind smoking just spit in the trash or on the grass),
    -rentacops at sfu,
    -not being able to leave class cause that douche-bag ashton kutcher was outside filming some crap
    -CURVING ALL THE GODDAMN MARKS (had a proff once tell me there was a number of students that he was REQUIRED to fail in his classes)
    -grad students posing as professors (had a grad student attempt to teach a class he had no background in)
    -the huge puddles that gather at the second floor stairs near the atrium

    2 finals on same day and so having too much crap to memorize

    TA's that don’t speak English
    Profs that don't speak English
    Profs that don’t understand the concept or purpose of multiple overheads in one lecture room
    Profs with ridiculously high unrealistic expectations who must assume students have no life (or other classes) outside of their own lecture (Mike Evans in cmpt 300)
    MTF used to be a pain thank god CMPT students don’t need to go there anymore, but engineering ppl still do from what I hear
    Engineering students that walk down to MTF in the middle of the fucking road!! Honestly get on the fucking sidewalk cuz one of these days I WILL run ur asses over! =)

    What stresses me at SFU is poor school spirit. Why the hell aren't people proud to go to SFU? All of my friends at different universities take pride in telling people where they go to school. Maybe I'll start a new thread about this if there isn't one already.

    Honestly, what's so wrong with our school???
  • edited April 2008
    its stuck on a mountain and lots of people who go there are rejects of UBC

    that aside SFU was my first choice, only cause of the program being offered solely at SFU

    knowing what i know about both campuses :
    aesthetically id say SFU has a 'slight' edge over UBC, but UBC is just so large, like the ocean is right beside UBC its great

    id say UBCS location is great for commercial enterprise which is nice, eating on SFU isnt the most exciting thing in the world and the choices are very limited which as a student gets to me

    i feel isolated at SFU but i prefer metropolis' rather than country sides and mountains

    i leave campus asap so i can go home and eat normally, it just takes so long to get home for me i dont want to be up there that long, if i were going to UBC id probably spend a lot more time on campus

    this is just all stuff applying to me though since lots of people live closer to SFU than i do
