Hey guys

I will probably go to Victoria for a year and want to know your tips for students about how to enjoy life there the most!

So tell me: What is the best to do?

Cinemas, Malls, Sights, Gardens, Museums, Coffeshops, Bars, Bookstores, Comunities, Teen Groups etc.

Thanks!

  1. In addition to Kate's great post, just wanted to say that the weather is gorgeous, the people are friendly, and Vic is a beautiful city.  If you are able to get out of the city you won't believe your eyes - it is so beautiful there.  I *heart* Victoria!


  2. Cinemas:

    Silver City, Odeon, Empire, Cinecenta(at Uvic)

    Malls:

    Mayfair, Hillside, Bay Centre, Tillicum, Canwest

    Sights:

    The Royal BC Museum, The Wax Museum, Miniature World, The Bug Zoo, Tour of the Legislative Building

    Gardens:

    Butchart, Abkazhi, Beacon Hill

    Museums:

    Maritime, (and the two listed above, Royal and Wax)

    Coffeeshops:

    Solstice Cafe, Serious Coffee,  Mocha House, Mirage (plus the millions of others here)

    Bars:

    Hugos, Element, Red Jacket....don't go clubbing too often anymore, so I'm not too sure what the names of the other one's are....but there are plenty here...

    Bookstores:

    Russells, Munro's, Bolen's, Chapters

    Communities: most neighbourhoods have a recreation centre (James Bay Community Centre-dance classes, yoga ect  Oak Bay Rec Centre-BIG swimming pool, slides, hot tub, gym, skate rink, roller rink.

    Crystal Pool-BIG swimming pool, gym, lots of dance classes, exercise classes ect

    Then there are two YMCA's plus other rec centres...)

    Teen Groups:

    You could probably get in touch with teen groups through the YMCA, of the Boys and Girls Club.

    Hope that your year here is a good one! Good luck!!
