VIU Future Students

Is summer too hot? No worries, here’s your sign to head to Rathtrevor Beach and cool off by the ocean. 🌊☀️

Explore 347 hectares of old-growth and mature forest, enjoy over 2 km of sandy shoreline and watch the ocean recede nearly 1 km at low tide. With 5.5 km of walking and nature trails, it’s the perfect place to relax, explore and take in the view. 🌲👣

One of the best things about studying at VIU? 🌿
You're just minutes away from Buttertubs Marsh—a peaceful nature reserve with scenic trails, fresh air, and plenty of wildlife.
Would this be your new study break spot? 👇

If your degree was a movie… what genre would it be? 🎬👀
Graduation day at VIU did not disappoint 🎓😄

We asked our graduates “What advice would you give future VIU students starting their journey”

Happy Pride Month, Nanaimo and VIU! 
 
June is a time to celebrate the strength and diversity of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, while reaffirming our commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces where everyone belongs. Pride is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder of the ongoing work to break down barriers.
 
A huge thank you to VIU’s Positive Space Alliance for everything they do to foster allyship and connection year-round. Let’s keep working together to ensure everyone is seen, heard, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
