UVIC Dorm Tour // Park Residence
Here's a tour of my dorm while living as a first year at UVic in Park Residence! When I was applying for dorms I picked Park as my top choice and I'm very happy that I did because I made some of the best friends that I've ever had while living there.

    Hey everyone, I pretty much abandoned this account since posting this video but I'm here to answer some lingering questions. Yes, there is a party scene at UVic as there is at any university. My neighbourhood was the most quiet of them all. That was my experience living there but you never know which neighbourhood could end up being more rowdy as students move in and out throughout the years. I believe my neighbourhood was the most quiet because it was all single dorms and out of the way from Cluster. Cluster is where most of the parties are since the units are larger and can host more people. Parties do get shut down rather quickly so you don't have to worry too much about losing sleep. Living in a single dorm gave me the privacy I needed and did not affect my ability to make friends in the slightest. There are activities that occur throughout the year within buildings and neighbourhoods that can help with making friends too. I'm still close friends with my building neighbours today. I cannot speak to the likelihood of getting housing because they are building two new dorms at the moment at the cost of reducing availability during construction. The prices of the dorms change every year and depend which neighbourhood you are in. Check out the UVic website for more info. Overall, I highly recommend the building I stayed in and hope you end up loving where you end up! The people that I know from other neighbourhoods also had a great time!

    What's the cost of living in dorm?

    • @bjornasher6858
      @bjornasher6858 4 года назад

      The cost varies for building and room type and changes every year. The UVic website is the most accurate place to find prices. However, living in the dorms is much cheaper than living off campus.

    • @bjornasher6858
      @bjornasher6858 4 года назад

      Hi Ben, the rent is not a monthly payment. It is paid each semester (4 months). The price varies for building and room type so I would refer to the UVic website for prices.

      Unfortunately not. You'll only have access to a kitchen if you're in a cluster residence.

      Hello, unfortunately I don't have access to the bachelor apartments. I was only able to do this video because I lived in the dorms. I bet if you keep digging, you might be able to find some pictures of the bachelor apartments at least.

    Hi! I just applied to uvic and I live in San Diego. Do you have any tips? Also what was it like for the transition from socal to Victoria? Is it easy to meet new people? And how was the transition from American to canadian curriculum?

    • @bjornasher6858
      @bjornasher6858 6 лет назад

      Hi! There's actually a surprising amount of Californian's here. It's super easy to meet new people. Living on campus your first year is the best way to make friends but there are so many more opportunities to make friends. I didn't find the transition hard at all. If anything, it would just be the transition from high school to university as is the case with any university. I guess it also depends on your major as well. I'm not really taking any classes where it would matter what my curriculum was like in high school but if you were majoring in something say math heavy, your previous knowledge would be more important. Most of my classes reference the states a lot and some are completely revolved around events happening in the states so I don't think that you will have a problem adjusting. I hope I've answered all of your questions and if you have any more, feel free to reach out to me on my instagram @the.bjorn.identity

    A couple questions, as I'm moving-in in the fall:1) Where did you get that dish rack for the fridge?2) Are the showers communal, or are they private as well? This video was really helpful! Thank you so much!

      Hi Dana! I got the dish rack from Amazon and the caddy that hangs off of the side is from Target but I'm sure it's on Amazon or at Bed Bath and Beyond. The showers are private as well! They are very small but totally worth the privacy. I'm glad my video was helpful! Good luck in the fall!
