Honestly this place is pretty quiet but its fine. Its in a convinent area so the lack of food isn't a problem. Overall I think the school is a decent place to study.

More like a secondary school campus with 0 communication between school and students

This campus is known to be antisocial. Although it's considered the 2nd most active out of the 5, everyone seems to avoid one another. The WSD building is heaven! I hope the rest of the campus ends up as amazing as it is once renovated. Since it's fairly old, the layout of hallways are very narrow and confusing.

Design building is beautiful (best place to study/lounge). Main building is confusing and has a haunted vibe. Not a lot of food options on campus but there is a mall across the street and a bunch of restaurants a block away. This campus is known to be very quiet, not much goes on. Kwantlen overall is best for their wide variety of amazing programs

It's not the main campus, but it's the best one in my perspective. Sometimes the vending machines are empty forever, and the cafeteria food is hit or miss, the Tim's is the slowest and the workers can be rude... HOWEVER, there is a mall with a starbucks across the street and it is the easiest to get to classes and find your way around.

I wish there were more social opportunities on campus that interested me. I don't feel like emailing suggestions, either. It's too hard. I want them to read my mind instead. It's also too hard to bring my own food. Batch boiling eggs is lame. I give up. I'll just keep complaining instead. It's not my responsibility to be an adult and be pro-active.

Bring your own food. Save $. For student life, they're continuously working on it. Email your ideas so they KNOW what YOU want. Maybe sign up to LEAD clubs. :) & Show up! Volunteer Instant friends. No weight room because no space but would love one here. Email the KSA w/ any suggestions/questions you have. They have their meeting minutes online.

@ Richmond, food is gross, coffee is horrible. No gym, no green space, parking rates are HORRIBLE. The professors are professional and the atmosphere is very academic. It's nice to see a university invest in a design wing but empty follow through on the environmental sustainability and you can tell where they cut corners in the design.

Not much goes on in this campus, has an older feel compared to their other campuses (new design building is very pretty though).

Richmond mall is a few blocks away but otherwise it really is in the middle of nowhere. Pretty meh overall tbh. It's really annoying that there's four campuses. Almost everyone went to at least two if not more. They're all a bus ride away but it's super inconvenient esp when planning classes

Having taken courses from Douglas and Langara. All the profs here mark so hard that you can't even apply to grad school or transfer anywhere else. They make it so hard that u can barely get a B and I don't know anyone that has gotten As at KPU.

The best thing about this campus is the easy access to the highway. Also you can try the free parking across the road. There is Tim Horton and cafeteria with some hot food. Limited selection of food in both. Library is conveniently centrally located. Horrible concrete walls without paint. Not the worse campus but it is far from being really good.
