Student Sound Offs
"The school is considered an underdog, but that just makes it work harder to provide students with greater services and greater quality education opportunities."
"Coming from Simon Fraser University, at UCFV I really enjoy the small class sizes and willingness of the teachers to answer questions and respond to e-mails quickly."
"A course may run one semester and then not run again for two years. There needs to be more access or offerings for upper level courses."
"The criminology professors are not only knowledgeable, but are also leaders in the field. They don't just teach it, they are also on the front lines DOING it."
"Not much of an atmosphere at the campus. Most people do not stay around after class.""UCFV offers opportunities for undergraduates to engage in research and work directly with faculty. Most other institutions reserve this opportunity for graduate or PhD students."
"I've never worried for my safety, even when walking to my car after a night class."
"There is a lack of school spirit at UCFV, but hopefully this will change with the residences that are being built, since there will be more students on campus."
"There are opportunities to work either in co-op or clinical positions to get hands-on experience."
"I really love the green space that exists on campus, even though it's near the freeway. I also like the colour scheme in the buildings - much better than concrete, like SFU has."
