I am currently enrolled in my last year of education at Uvic. My overall experience in the past 3 years has been excellent. Not only have I learned about my field of interest, but I have also gotten to know a lot about myself. My experiences with my professors have been nothing short of amazing. Every encounter I have had with my professors has been very welcoming, With the relationships, I have built, I believe I have good career prospects.

My first year at UVic was a lukewarm experience. I like the campus and quite enjoy the experience of being around there. The classrooms are fine enough, but they are not all created equal. Labs were very enjoyable and informative for me and were my favourite part of the year. I had a few very good profs, but the majority of them seem unenthusiastic and unengaging. I lived in residence on campus and it was fairly lonely for me as an introverted person. There isn’t a huge emphasis on community and if you don’t establish yourself in a clique at the beginning of the semester you are likely to feel alone in residence.
