I wish I had known...
That it rained so dog gone much. Also, the transit system was awesome. The seabuses and regular transit was A+. It would also have been awesome to know I would meet so many cool people. I do regret not having interacted with enough Canadians. I socially became accustom to Europeans and others from foreign destinations.

Meet people of different nationalities to make long life friends and have fun. For the guys, it's great to meet all the women, especially the Europeans. They are great! Oh yeah, don't forget a raincoat, you'll need it.

SFU International is responsible for all exchange and international students and they are very helpful. Furthermore, a lot of events are organized and especially the Faculty of Business Administration is very active with the international community.
Concerning travelling, I would recommend going to Vancouver Island/Victoria, Whistler, the Canadian Rockies and Seattle.

Overall
The campus is not the nicest in terms of looks or size however it has a comfortable feel to it. You can get to different classes easily without having the need to rush. The teachers are all really nice here and are very supportive of your career. The cafeteria is lacking when it comes to diverse options.
