Help will always be given at VIU to those who ask for it ( Yes I replaced Hogwarts with Viu because why not:) )

Even though it's too early to say but it's been a great start for me, the first three weeks of the MBA program here

Despite everyday at VIU being legs days with the never ending stairs 😂

The walk through the campus is beautiful and I look forward to coming to campus everytime.

It's a lovely place to be in if you need a safe space where you can go, live, laugh and learn
as the professors are helpful and encouraging

Excited to study here for the next 20 months !!! 😁🙌💙

I attended in the early eighties. I absolutely loved the atmosphere this institution brought to me. I felt I was able to successfully achieve my goals and by studying here it has given me the steps, courage and opportunities to further my education.
Although this school has grown since then I still believe that the possibilities of a higher education is overall a positive one just like I remember.

Someone i know is attending, she was told and even promised all kinds of things...again and again it's proven that faculty either outright lie, or are so incompetent that they have zero business being in the business of education. Almost as bad as stenberg ffs..don't waste your money here, they will lie to your face to get you enrolled and take your money.

Small class sizes, excellent teachers, beautiful views and lots of study space make this smaller university on Vancouver Island shine. I have really enjoyed my time at this university. Although I have had a couple professors that have not been very good, they are vastly outweighed by many outstanding others who really do a great job. The people at the university are friendly, and you don't have to endure a freezing winter as is the case in most other universities across Canada. Blossoms typically start coming out in February! On sunny days, you can see all the mountains north of Vancouver on the mainland, BC Ferries travelling between the island and mainland, and so much more. There is also lots to do in the surrounding area.

A family member contributed years of time and energy to successful and much needed drug testing research and we crowd funded a scholarship in his name after his passing.
Disappointed to see you’ve chosen to suspend two Muslim Palestinian students despite a public statement that no punitive action would be taken …and after VIU admitted that claims were unsubstantiated

Universities aren't the pillars they once were; they've been infected by harmful ideologies. VIU isn't doing anything to buck that trend. Example: they let men play on women's teams. That tells you everything you need to know about their lack of wisdom and leadership; they pander vs protect.

What's the point of paying for parking, when theres no parking.... Maybe have parking lot events on weekends....

Do you wish you had more muscular legs? Do you want to improve your cardio? Well VIU is for you! Here they have stairs! And more stairs! And even MORE stairs! There are stairs as far as the eye can see! After a semester of going here you'll have the bulging, muscular, tree legs of your dreams!
Also the staff here are friendly and the university is nice overall. There's also bunnies everywhere. So that's good. Bunnies are cute. They also distract you from the inevitable leg pains you'll get after climbing your 500th stair in the day.
