Welcome to the University of Victoria: home of the Vikes, fair-trade coffee, the most beautiful campus in Canada—and you!

Go Vikes, Go! #fearless #vikesnation

2. You totally brag about the weather

Yup, we have the warmest winters in Canada and get to play outside allllll year long. (Sorry, Calgary.)

3. You're learning to slackline

Either that or you've joined the UVic Quidditch Club.

4. You practically live at nearby Cadboro Bay beach, but the octopus still scares you

He probably comes alive at night.

5. You listened to everyone's advice and joined the co-op program

Forget unpaid internships—finance that education! And learn some pretty cool job-site stuff along the way.

6. You love seeing a movie at Cinecenta

Although you may love the $1 organic coffee and snacks at the Munchie Bar more... #bestpopcornever

7. You're a tree hugger and proud of it

@rebekahboo22, Instagram / Via iconosquare.com

You love to cycle, walk or bus to campus. And you compost everything. #zerowaste

8. You've taken a course with an Indigenous focus

Or even had a chance to work on a totem pole at the First Peoples House.

9. You know that Mac's makes the best sandwiches and wraps in the world

It's worth it to wait in the lunchtime line-up.

10. Your favourite place to study is in a person-shaped chair at the library

So comfortable you could fall asleep in one.
