I went to UVic for 5 years and loved it. Overall, the favorite place I've lived. I would have stayed after school if I could find a decent job. No complaints about the weather. One year was quite rainy, but other than that, weather was great. Summer lasts so much longer than Calgary. The weather from March to November is great. The winter is a bit miserable. The dampness is bone chilling. But at least it is very short.

If you are into hiking and stuff, there is so much to do within a few minutes of the city.

I partied pretty hard while I was in school. I didn't find the nightlife lacking at all. It was expensive to live, but so is Calgary now. I usually was living with 3 or 4 roomates most of the time.
