I absolutely recommend Vancouver Island University (VIU)!
pros: small class sizes; professors are approachable; reasonable tuition costs; and an amazing view from almost anywhere on campus!
cons: lots of stairs (great workout, but not always ideal during the winter); cost of parking, and not enough sessions of required courses (i.e., graduation delays).

Incredibly thankful for the VIU community – students care about each other & the profs are super personable! Tight-knit vibes at VIU!
Did you know? VIU’s Nanaimo Campus is located on a steep slope with 409 stairs from top to bottom!
