Residence Dining Room @ UVIC Cadboro Commons - Victoria, British Columbia

I went here for my doctorate and my partner for their masters and undergrad. I have taught a few courses there as well. - As others have mentioned, the program for assisting those with disabilities is an absolute disaster. They will automatically treat you like you're lying and make every step ... of the process as challenging as possible. - The administration runs it like a business and doesn't even try to hide how little they care about your education. They want you to give them money and not ask for anything. - Soulless. There's nothing distinguishing about UVic. You won't find unique clubs, unique buildings, unique people, unique events. Just a middle-of-the-road university with middle-of-the-road faculty and students. - Most importantly, I have witnessed how they treated a friend of mine who was assaulted by a TA. Even with other students backing up the claims, the school denied everything. My friend sued the school, and their lawyers painted her as crazy and it really did a number on their health. Absolutely zero concern or desire to figure out the truth. They do not care about you. I am not proud to have graduated here. I would not do it again. Read more

Exceptional school! Dedicated teachers who go above and beyond to support student growth. Great facilities and a strong sense of community. Highly recommend for students seeking quality education.

I was admitted to UVIC with 94% high school average as a person with multiple undiagnosed mental disabilities. After only a year I can only say UVIC is a nightmare for disabled students like me. They have a centre for "accessible learning", which is supposed to offer support, is full ... of staff whom lack understanding and empathy, often feeling like a barrier than aid. Even after a painful process of official diagnosis, I was faced with zero support and empathy despite the efforts I kept making. I have made up my mind and decided to quit my studies at UVIC; subpar academic teams and absolutely disappointing programs and curriculums (especially BCOM). Read more

The University of Victoria is the oldest post-secondary institution in British Columbia. First established in 1903 as Victoria College, an affiliated college of McGill University, it gained full autonomy and degree-granting status through a charter on July 1, 1963. Between 1903 and 1915, Victoria College offered first- and second-year McGill courses in the arts ... and sciences. Administered locally by the Victoria School Board, the college was an adjunct to Victoria High School and shared its facilities. Both institutions were under the direction of a single Principal: E.B. Paul, 1903–1908; and S.J. Willis, 1908–1915 Read more

Campus is beautiful in the summer, but still has lots to see and enjoy all year round. Lots of green spaces and places to walk. It feels like a small campus, but keeps going as you walk around, including the ring road with access by bus or car. They even ... have a parking lot for Evo share cars. Read more
