it's worth it.. that way you can figure out where your classes are before the semester starts instead of running around in the first week trying to find them all.. and it's a great way to meet people that are new to sfu just like you
I paid for orientation but wasn't able to attend due to visa issues (and they never refunded me or let me go to the next one), but I swear money aside I still regret not having had the chance to go. Do it! $50 sounds like a lot for one thing, but really that's less than what you'll spend on beverages at SFU in a month.
Orientation, in my opinion, isn't useful for seeing the campus. It's useful for meeting other people within your faculty and outside your faculty. SFU doesn't have many social students.
if i'm living on residence, is it necessary to go to both residence and campus orientation for $160? or is it better just to attend the campus orientation
Are you sure there's a charge? There sure isn't one at the SFU Vancouver campus. If it's simply a matter of time spent then the only risk is that the people for the various SFU services would be earnest but dull. Still might meet some interesting fellow students...
Residence orientation is fantastic for meeting people. I'm still friends with some of the people I met during that week. You get to move in earlier and just take time to get settled and meet people.
I had commented on this but an admin or someone must have removed my comment - why, i have no idea, i had nothing but good things to say about the orientation program - it may have been a little tl;dr but anyways, i found it to be the best $50 i spent, considering i literally didnt know anyone and its more useful for getting to know people in your class before actually going to class - also clan mentorship goes on for the entire semester!
