With the help of my team at FASA, you guys over at FASA medias, and my amazing designer Masheyla Anderson, I created the FASA Broke Student Handbook (also known as the BS Guide), ready to use, and open to modification over the years! Feel free to send your own tips and tricks to fasa.office@gmail.com on how to survive a year as a Fine Arts student at Concordia! In the mean time, enjoy your uni years as much as you can, and have an amazing time among the FASA community!

Hello my fellow artsy students! Spending the last 3 years wandering around our precious Concordia Fine Arts community, I am finally graduating and leaving this school with my diploma in hand and a heavy heart. Realizing that I spent these past 9 terms learning and gathering information on how to navigate this city/school/domain of interest with economy and intelligence, I figured it would be really cool to compact all this into one place to be accessible to anyone in need!

right to move/la voie libre

Right to Move is a non-profit organization that was started in the spring of 1997 by a group who believed bicycles are a form of

transportation that should be available to all, regardless of gender, age, wealth or ethnicity. In order to make bicycling a more accessible

transportation option, they:have a drop-in, do-it-yourself bicycle shop

where members can fix their own bicycles with the help of volunteer mechanics

- hold hands-on workshops series on bicycle maintenance three times per year in english

and French

- accept and collect bicycles destined for the landfill, fix them and donate them or sell them at low cost to those who would not otherwise

be able to afford a bicycle

RTM is a membership-based organisation. A mere $20 per year gives you access to our

drop-in shop.
