Student review [#29997] for Psychology
at University of Victoria - UVIC

I was living in the dorms when I tested positive for COVID-19. I called the residence service people and was surprised by how calm and polite they were. I was panicking and feeling a little uneasy as I didn’t want others to get sick because of me. However, the staff responded very kindly and helped me feel more at ease. I have given an isolation room the keys to which were put in my mailbox. They also put a self-care package with some Tylenol, tissues, hand sanitizers, masks, chocolates, and a sweet get-well-soon note. I headed to the isolation center. The room was like a hotel room. It had a mini-fridge and a microwave. It helped me make some ramen when I felt hungry. The residence services got me in touch with the food department, which organized my food delivery. I had to fill out a form each day, ticking what exact food items I want for lunch, breakfast, and dinner. T The food would be sent from the MOD (UVic dining hall) and the money would be deducted from your one-card meal plan. Staff from the Wellness Centre got in touch with me regularly to make sure I’m doing okay. Overall, UVic’s staff and service helped me heal quickly. I felt at ease and was relieved to received the support and care that I did during this time.
