Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good
"This was a student residence. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. Budget friendly, I did pass by a bunch of students who were preparing to go out and were pretty excited about it ... but otherwise it was fairly quiet. Clean, simple, perfect for the budget mindful traveling party."
