Julia S.

VIU Ambassador 2023

Hello everyone,

My name is Julia and spent a semester at Vancouver Island University in the winter of 2022. Besides all questions about studying at VIU, I can also give you tips about living on Vancouver Island and how you can make your semester abroad the experience of a lifetime.

My time here in Canada was unforgettable and I am going back to Germany with many great memories and experiences. In addition, I was able to meet many new people with whom I experienced several university activities as well as explore Canada off campus. My personal highlight was my VIU Intramural Volleyball team, with which I played against other teams every Monday night.

I look forward to answering your questions and encouraging you if you are unsure about certain things of a semester abroad in Canada; You can reach out to me via Instagram(julees_15) or via E-Mail([email protected]).

Yours Julia
