Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good
"You can’t beat the price and though I knew the room didn’t have a TV, it was nice to use the one in the common room. This isn’t a complaint, but keep in mind there’s no AC. The fan provided and an open window made sleeping better. Probably quieter than downtown and easy to get to by bus."
