- I targeted the top 200 school in the times higher education list. SFU was not there. However, a friend of me was doing Msc there. He told me about A.Prof Greg Mori. That was great favour from him.
- I applied in SFU. Nothing special. No emphasize on GRE.
- I got offer after 2 weeks! I was on pending list of one of other USA universities (e.g. all offers are given, with first one reject, I will get an offer).
- I played safely and accepted SFU one. I felt Canada well be better than USA. Also Greg mori work & profile encouraged me lot.
- Almost everything is organized,
- The staff gave contradicting comments on my Visa status. Even the Insurance number employee! But finally managed the issue.
- They need more orientations on the insurance and its details.
- You should depend on yourself to understand the country...life will learn you much
- So different than Cairo University. You have specific # of hours to cover weekly
- Department, The Doctor and the supervisor asks you to be careful about your time..."You are here for research"
- Dr Diana showed much care with fare grading for students. She designed assignments by herself. I liked that much.
- TA role was soft for me in 1st term. I was in Into to programming.
