Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

Vancouver Island University Residences - Campus Accommodation

8/10 Good
"Although my bed was hard and sagged from the head to the shoulders, the rest of our stay was excellent! My friend and I each got our own bedroom with washroom, bedding, lots of towels, a cloth, shampoo, soap, body wash, moisturizing lotion, the use of a fan, and use of the kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave, and a lounge with a TV and a piano! Really great value for our money!"
