tips for newbies:

- don't go line up and buy all your books the first day (week actually). go to your first lecture first and then see if you need it or not.
- line ups for the registrar, counselors, and bookstores tend to be super long
- if you're tired of the food at the MBC/Tims/Triple O's, hit up cornerstone
- there's a new subway in the AQ's McKenzie cafeteria
- to save parking money, park at the bottom of the hill Duthie St-ish on Hastings. it's usually a 4 hours zone but you can find some with no restrictions a block in
- the AQ gets PACKED, try walking outside through the quad itself. it's nicer and quicker.
- library has laptop rentals for 4 hours at a time
- the gym gets super packed, especially in September. I usually go in the mornings.
- locker rentals.gym tag lines takes about 30 mins during peak times, once again, go in the morning or before close
- study hard, manage your time and commit to your classes. it's not high school anymore, people don't remind you to do shit.

good luck to all new and returning SFU'ers!
