  • Remember Gordon Campbell hates you the poor student!

  • increase seating in lecture rooms, that will increase the class capacity. To a prof, teaching 200 or 250 students is not a big deal. TAs have to deal with marking. Ultimately those who want to learn will find a way to get it done. Those who don't will just float through.

  • Just like some of those students, I work 20-35 hours a week and I am a full time student with 4 classes - 12 credits. If I didn't work I couldn't even afford my living expenses, e.g. internet, phone, hydro, heating (really nice things to have you know, freezing isn't going to help me study) I didn't qualify for loans and I didn't qualify for grants, so I had no other choice but to pay out of pocket for the whole way. Easy? hell no. Fun? definitely not. Taxing mentally and physically? HELL YES!

  • Dear Maddyheartshotmen I think we all agree with you that not everything should be free, but let me attempt to draw a difference between cars, movies, and education: A good democracy isn't dependent on cars, movies, or computers. Those things might in fact harm a democracy. Education, however, is necessary. Not just so that voters can make good decisions, but to produce the kind of leaders needed to make the right decisions.

    That is the cost of a well governed state.

  • sfu should be free. so should computers. so should movies. so should cars. so should hookers...

    things cost money... sorry people

  • tuitions have doubled since 2001...wow i didnt even know it was that bad
