  • Butchart gardens

    Royal museum of British Columbia

    Legislative Assembly buildings

    Walk around the downtown/waterfront area

    Chinatown (Victoria has the oldest one in Canada)

    Hatley Castle (x men was filmed here)

    Craigdarroch castle (it’s more a large Victorian mansion but still cool)

    Beacon Hill park (don’t run over the peacocks in the street - seriously - they’re a traffic hazard)

    There are lovely beaches in the northern parts of the island and Sunshine coast.





















  • Sometimes shit happens that makes study commitments unviable. While I was at uni, a friend’s dad became extremely ill, and my friend doing a double major quit her degree to go home to take care of him (he died, unfortunately; she eventually resumed her studies 2 years later with one major). Some people’s funding dries up (cannot get loans, family financing falls through). Other times personal problems make focusing on studies difficult (ie: mental health, addiction, health problems).

    People have the best intentions, but life has ways of getting in the way. This assumption that people who don’t graduate are not fully applying themselves is limited and perpetuates negative beliefs about drop outs.
