1. Accessibility is an Asset Burnaby campus, in particular, is stellar at this — the campus is amazing at being accessible. Right off the bat, you can obviously tell the campus is made for everyone — just look at all those stairs! I find it so considerate of the university to provide stairs for everyone, specifically those who may need extra aid to get around campus. Ramps, who? Yay!
