Connecting to others

Discovering Victoria, UVic, & your community

Grad school can involve a lot of time studying and researching on your own – but it does not have to be an isolating experience! There are a lot of other grad students out there like you who are looking to connect outside of academics. In order to keep yourself happy and productive in your studies, it is important to take some time away from academics and nurture social relationships with others. Whether you’re passionate about a cause or you just want to get to know the city, there are lots of opportunities to connect to others at UVic.
