WHY I HAVE CHOSEN
SFU
I chose this school because the
School of Criminology is one of the
largest in Canada at SFU. Also,
because it is the only university
that is a par t of the NCAA in
Canada for basketball, so I would
be able to get the American
athletic experience and still stay
close to home.

 CHOICES
POL 100 OR POL 151 - I c hose 151because it is
justice and law, whic h I thought fit my interests and
career options I am considering rather than taking
100 whic h is the intro to politics and gover nment

CRIM 104 OR CRIM 103- CRIM 104 goes over the more
sociological side of things rather than the psychological side
that 103 goes down, and after reading the description on
both courses I decided to pick CRIM 104 since I found I had
more interest in it.

Why I chose BISC 113 as my breadth elective- I chose this course

because it is something that really interests me as I have always
taken interest in all types of biology and would find it interesting
how it is involved in our day to day lives. I also feel it nicely ties
into any careers I may decide to pursue.
