Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of British Columbia (UBC) and University of Victoria (UVic) are the top three universities in Greater Vancouver Area of British Columbia Canada. SFU main campus is located on the Burnaby Mountain, surrounding by enchanting forest and wild lives. On the SFU main campus, people sometimes may run into deer, coyotes and even bears. This makes students' study life more full of adventure. The University, named after explorer Simon Fraser, started its adventure in education since September 1965. In less than 40 years SFU has gained an international reputation for its strengths in the liberal arts and sciences, as well as for its innovative interdisciplinary and professional programs. It has been rated as Canada's best comprehensive university five times (1993, '96, '97, '98, and '00) in the annual rankings of Maclean's magazine and has consistently placed at, or near, the top of the publication's national evaluations.
SFU has three campuses: the main Burnaby campus, the Harbour Centre campus in downtown Vancouver, and Surrey campus in Surrey. SFU offers programs at the graduate and undergraduate level to approximately 25,000 students.
