“The University of Victoria is the oldest post-secondary institution in British Columbia. First established in 1903 as Victoria College, an affiliated college of McGill University, it gained full autonomy and degree-granting status through a charter on July 1, 1963. Between 1903 and 1915, Victoria College offered first- and second-year McGill courses in the arts and sciences. Administered locally by the Victoria School Board, the college was an adjunct to Victoria High School and shared its facilities. Both institutions were under the direction of a single Principal: E.B. Paul, 1903–1908; and S.J. Willis, 1908–1915”

“Had an axe throwing booking with Pierre and had an awesome time. Pierre was welcoming and professional, while still able to joke around and have fun with us. In addition, he was able to introduce new ways to throw axes and tweak our technique so by the end all 3 of us were consistently hitting the bullseye and fighting for highest scores. 10/10 would do again.”

“Our group of 15 had an AMAZING time at our private event. The chef, Takashi, was very kind and patient. He was very thorough in his instructions and everyone felt confident in executing. The FOH Manager, Caio, was extremely tentative and always checking in with us. The team was very accommodating with our range of dietary restrictions. The food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be recreating these dishes at home. We all can't wait to come back and try out another menu from their extensive and diverse selection!”

“FUTURE GAME DESIGNERS: SPEAK WITH ADMISSIONS AND ATTEND THE WEBINAR! As a prospective student of the Game Design program, it behooves me to comment on VFS' hospitality, transparency and assistance when it comes to the admissions process, tuition, and program specifics. ADMISSIONS If you're like me, you probably took for granted this first point-of-contact with schools and/or businesses. Gija Williams, the Director of Admissions, went above and beyond to address my inquiries and concerns. She was direct about the program's rigour, reassuring when personal insecurities came up, and surprisingly blunt about the school's current challenges in creating the best ROI for students. Also, Gija is under no illusion that this is a pricey school in an expensive city. She was genuinely interested in exploring payment options with me to make the school for more affordable and flexible in its payment schedule. I felt like I was given information and options tailor-made for me, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all solution read from a script. She's an empathetic listener who's willing to get personal -- that's a rare skill and an even rarer disposition in our post-COVID world, where more and more institutions and businesses have become a lot more greedy and a lot less transparent. GAME DESIGN WEBINAR The program overview webinar was hosted by Chris Mitchell, the head of the Game Design program -- and it was, hands down, the best one I've ever attended. It helps that Chris is super down to earth, funny, transparent and passionate about the craft and industry. Actually, "overview" is a misnomer -- you can get much of that off the site, and Chris knows it. Instead, he fills in the blanks and answers the questions you'd likely have after seeing the site and speaking with admissions. What are the employment numbers and which companies? What's the percentage of VFS grads at some of these companies? He goes further: the household brands founded by VFS grads, the capstone projects that have won awards and been featured in Unreal's Student Showcase. One highlight included VFS training students in service ops after several founders conveyed a desperate need for employees with that experience. The webinar was just the right length, with ample time to ask questions. Got follow up questions? Just email him. You're visiting campus? He makes a point of meeting every prospective student. To those who'd object to all this by saying "well, it's a business...they'll do the song and dance for your money" -- fair! But that song and dance doesn't get you the reputation they have. Look up "Game Designer VFS" on LinkedIn, and see how many grads there are working at triple AAA companies. VFS' Game Design faculty and staff took all the right lessons from COVID -- they lean into the need for empathy and clarity, and seek to cultivate it. Stay in touch with them after that initial call, and you'll see what I mean.”

“I have been to two Vancity Business Babes events at this venue. It's a great space. Unloading had to take place in three time segments over 3 hours as places for vehicle unloading are limited.”

“This will be an ultimate review of KPU. I will confidently start with this, it is a scam institution to take money off international students. If you're a Canadian born student, go to a proper university at least. Every class I felt like I was in India, all it had were uneducated international students who did courses for a visa whilst having to pay 3X more. The kids all speak Punjabi or Hindi to each other. One time I was partnered up with an international student for a Health science class and she was a complete pain to deal with. She barely spoke English and it was very broken. Sometimes I wonder why they put themselves in the situation to make it hard for others. The teachers don't care about you, they never make time help with the homework, and one teacher actually told us the class will be online because she "can't breath in masks." Can you believe that? She's jeopardizing her students' education just because she can't wear a mask. WE LITERALLY HAVE TO WEAR MASKS ALL DAY IN SCHOOL. The prerequisites for programs are awful, all they want is a basic English course for a Bachelor of Science. They don't even care if you haven't taken any sciences. It just shows they're in it for the money. The text books are bloody expensive, the equipment and lab coat was expensive, the food is expensive, everything is ridiculously expensive. One of the worst things was the tuition breakdown. They make us pay for transit and dental without telling us. I DRIVE A BLOODY CAR WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR STUDENT TRANSIT. I did the research myself and figured out I'm able to opt out of it. Of course it was cleverly hidden though because they want us to give them as much money as possible. In the end students are overworked and teachers are overpaid. An absolute clown school. I do NOT recommend this school.”
