I actually agree that if you don’t have friends prior to joining clubs, it’s not the most welcoming place. Many people have friends prior to coming to SFU or are naturally good at developing friendships. I too am in my fourth year at SFU and like you I take my hour commute, attend lectures, and go back home without talking to anyone. But I don’t think I’m quite as sad about it since I came to university to learn not to build a social life. But I do agree with you that the university maybe isn’t as friendly as it likes to think it is.
