Student review [#30719] for Computer Science
at University of Victoria - UVIC

I graduated in 2013 after getting a bachelor’s degree in comp sci, and there are so many amazing things to say about the school.

Residence was very hard to get into unless you were a first year. If you’re a first year you are guaranteed a spot in residence, but if you’re in second year and on it is extremely hard to get a spot in residence. There is pretty decent off-campus housing, it’s a little hard to find.

The food on campus was ok. Not bad, but not necessarily good either. If you’re not eating it for every meal than it’s a good option. Although they try and change the menu everyday, eventually they run out of options and it tends to get repetitive.

The facilities are in good condition, and it’s very hard to find a building that wasn’t updated in the last ten years. The two furthest classrooms from each other you can usually walk between in about ten minutes, so it’s not that far. In the fall to spring months it does tend to rain quite a bit, but other than that it is really nice.

The night life and clubs in Victoria aren’t the best unless you like the mainstream pop songs. But there are quite a few good bars and restaurants near campus. The public transportation is pretty good at getting you from campus to downtown.

Overall, it’s a great school, and. if someone were to give me the choice to redo my degree at any school, I would always choose UVIC.
