Default Wildlife Biologist

Hi! I am currently enrolled in a UT Bachelor of Science, majoring in biology at my local college! I am interested in transferring to Simon Fraser University or University of Northern British Columbia to complete my program and am wondering if anyone on here as had any experience with either of these institutions?

No experience with SFU.
Graduated from UNBC with B.Sc.
I liked the school, professors, class sizes.
PG was okay too.

x2, I think PG has gotten a bit worse but the school was good, always ranks well for undergrad studies

Not sure if Dorms are an option or a plan for you but UNBC Dorms are 10 times better then SFU.

SFU used to have the reputation as the most left-leaning university in the country. I imagine that their biology program will be pretty global warming and anti-hunting focused. Nice location though, Burnaby Mountain in Vancouver.

Your premise may be correct Oko. In college my biology prof was an SFU grad from the late sixties. He participated in the riots up there. He (and his wife) were definately deep in the hippie culture. He informed us that if you scraped the inner bark from a red osier dogwood, dried and smoked it, you would get high. I believe him, I'm pretty sure he proved it out.
