UVic has many international students and if you’re an international student like me, you will easily be able to find friends from your own country. What I found a little challenging is how hard it can be to be friends with other people. To some international students, it can get difficult to relate with people from different cultures. On the brighter side, Uvic does a good job at organizing events that give you the opportunity to meet people from different countries and cultures. I appreciate the international student welcome through which I met many friends. The study cafe, game nights and floor/ building events are also good ways to hang out with friends and meet new people
