  2. Why I visited Uvic • I visited UVic because my brother Chandler McCorkindale went there for his first year of University. • Chandler went to UVIc because they have a stellar Fine Arts program. • Chandler is enrolled in the Creative Writing program, and will continue into it in his sophomore year

  3. Residence • While I was at UVic I stayed at the Emily Carr Residence with my brother. • The Emily Carr residence was built in 1964. • It was originally a women's residence, but is now home to men and women, with 26 single rooms and 28 double rooms • The residence is located right next to the Cadboro Commons Dinning Hall • The picture below is my brothers single room

  4. Cadboro commons • In Cadboro Commons they have a main cafeteria, a vegetarian restaurant, and a place to get pizza and other greasy treats. • Every UVic student living on residence has to pay for a meal plan, unless you live in a cluster apartment. • On this meal plan you pay around $2000. Half of this money you pay for the workers and the food to be made, the other half you use to purchase the food with a ResCard. • The ResCard gives students 50% of their food in the Cadboro Commons.

  5. Mcpherson Library • The McPherosn Library is a massive library with four floors • It has an research centre, an ESL centre, a graduate studies area, and a café called BiblioCafe • Students are always holed up in there with their textbooks and coffee • The library is open 7 days a week, and is usually open for 14 hours a day.

  6. Ian Stewart Gym • The Ian Stewart Gym is run by Vikes Recreation and fellow students. • Within the Gym there is a workout area, ice rink, dance room, squash court, tennis courts, swimming pool, and many other recreational areas. • Vikes Recreation also offers intermural sports for students such as: basketball, floor hockey, ice hockey, flag football, and soccer. • The gym pass for the facility costs $90 for students for one year. • UVic is currently working on opening a new gym within the next few years.

  7. WRIT100: Intro to writing • While I was at UVic I attended my brothers WRIT100 course with him. It is a year long course that took place on Mondays and Thursdays for an hour and twenty minutes per class. The course is taught by Caral Funk-Hesketh who is a published poet. During the course I attended we learned about revising screenplays and how to delete your way to success. I was a little lost as I have never written a screenplay before, but my brother seemed very invested in the lesson. The class took place in the Human and Social Sciences building, and was comprised of almost 150 students.
