Student Life at University of Victoria?

I'm a senior in high school and am trying to make my big college decision. I was wondering about University of Victoria in Canada and it's student life. I've heard there's no frats or sororities, but do students still party? whats the social scene like at Uvic?

I've also been wondering about the different social groups that exist there, is it mostly bros and hoes like a big american college?Student Life at University of Victoria?
If you are not a Canadian, then you need to apply as a foreign student and be accepted. Fees are also six times that which a Canadian would pay. You also need a student visa and you are not able to work in Canada while attending school.



Most Canadian universities do not have large frats or sororities. Victoria isn't a big party town. It's main industries are tourism, government, and retired folks. I suppose UVic echos that. Great place for an education with some great facilities, campus, and programs, but you typically won't find lots of massive keggers. While students do have parties, the drinking age is 19 in BC, some pubs and bars are known as 'student bars', and downtown does have several clubs. That said, a lot of activities offered tend to involve less partying -- beaches, lakes, hiking, sports, clubs, kayaking, etc.



UBC (University of British Columbia) and SFU (Simon Fraser University) in Vancouver are known as better party universities.Student Life at University of Victoria?
There is a lot of partying there, especially in the cluster housing units. Tuition is three times as high for international students. I paid about 1,500 per class. International students can work on campus. they can work off campus under exceptional circumstances.

On residence there is a lot of partying on the weekends. There are no frats, but people still party hard. I have a friend that goes to SFU, and he said that people don't party that much.
