- The city of Victoria is an exceptional place to live. Some people even call it Canada's Jewel on the Pacific. Victoria is a harbour city, enjoys the mildest climate in Canada, and has an average of 2,183 hours of sunshine a year. Temperatures during the winter rarely fall below freezing, and Spring begins in February. You can sail, kayak, cycle, skateboard, and mountain climb throughout the winter.

- Completed in 1995, the Engineering Lab Wing provides students with spacious, modern lab facilities; bright, clean study spaces and twenty-four hours access.

- UVic offers a mandatory Co-op Engineering program. What students learn on campus is enriched by real-life experiences. Co-op provides an opportunity for students to live and work in areas of Canada or even other countries they might not otherwise get to know. In 1998, the average salary paid to co-op students in engineering was close to $9,800 for a four month work term. That means students may earn from $49,000 to $59,000 while obtaining their B.Eng. degree. Thus, UVic engineering students largely eliminate student loan debts.
