"Highly recommend"

I've grown so much academically and personally here. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — winters are harder than you think but the spring-summer payoff is worth it. Overall, if you're considering Adult Basic Education Program at Vancouver Island University, I'd say go for it.

"Mixed but mostly good"

Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years.
