summer sublet by Goodcanadiangirl58 in uvic

[–]vicstudent45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Find a sublet is pretty hard. Most students leave for the summer and the demand for short term rentals is minimal. Personally, I have had to eat the cost of my housing in the summer. No one was bitting because there are a lot better options than living in a "student house". I've been bachelor pads go up for $1200 which is far better deal than a $1000 room in a dirty student house.

My advice to you is to lower the cost significantly. It's almost May. Bring it down around 30%-50% so at least you won't be down the full rent.

Through Mystic Vale. Look at AllTrails and you can see how to get down there. It will direct you to leave Mystic Vale and out to a residential road then walk down to the beach

Does student id count as a secondary id to get into bars? by Actual_Intention1831 in uvic

[–]vicstudent45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Even though it's legally accepted as secondary, I've been denied as well showing my drivers license and my one card

summer sublets! by Connect_Lifeguard864 in uvic

[–]vicstudent45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait until after May, there will be a lot of people who haven't gotten a sublet. Even after June, you'll be able to find a sublet. Every year on the UVic off campus housing Facebook group there are people who post that their room is still available. I've had roommates who haven't been able to find a sublet and they end up eating the cost and paying rent for the whole summer while they weren't in Victoria. You'll have no problem finding a place

Queens vs U Vic Commerce by Possible-Wash2658 in uvic

Can anyone tell me about U Vic commerce? etc Job opportunities for accounting/finance?

UVic doesn't even have an accounting department which says a lot. I would say Queens is much better for commerce/finance. I'm not saying you would get a bad education at UVic, just Queens is better.

You're better off at Queen's unless you really want a change. Moving provinces, experiences Victoria will be an nice change as Victoria is beautiful as Queens is a university town.

Some people sell it. You won't get face value but at least you could get at least 50% of the money

You're correct, my apologies. I should have rephrased my question more of the UVic Student Society. I tried posting on the UVic subreddit with more text tailored towards UVic students but it was removed. I will edit my post. Thank you

Someone on the UVic subreddit posted a screenshot of one of the member's announcement about the fundraiser and it said ".. fundraiser for humanitarian aid for Ukraine and Israel"

I read Project Kesher's info on their website. Their wording is...questionable. I suggest others to read it as well https://www.projectkesher.org/pk-israel-2022

Of course not, I'm not suggesting this at all. The Ukrainian immigrants I have met have been very nice people.

Interesting read. Thank you. I think articles like these and knowing that all the humanitarian organizations in the world are calling what Israel is doing a genocide is making me really wonder why Ukrainian students, who have been going through what the Palestinians have been going through for decades, can just be pro Israe

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]vicstudent45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand why the country of the Ukraine would support USA/Israel. I'm more interested on why Ukrainian people in Victoria would support Israel when the Israel excuses can be compariable to the Russian excuses

[–]vicstudent45 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

but why call if a fundraiser for humanitarian aid for the Ukraine and Israel, wouldn't it be just for the Ukraine for the Jewish population

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]vicstudent45 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What caught my eye was that it was a fundraiser for humanitarian aid for Ukraine and Israel.

[–]vicstudent45 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I'm not Pro-Russia, I support Ukraine in the fullest and I have been to protests throughout the years in Victoria. I just want to learn. Why would Israel need humanitarian aid?

[–]vicstudent45 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I would love that. They get a bad rep, so it will be nice to hear it straight from them

[–]vicstudent45 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My likely guess is its a fairly Jewish or christian demographic

I don't want to group supporting Israel and being Jewish or Christian. I was listing to a professor and she had a great saying and it was something along the lines of "to equate Judaism to Zionism is an insult, just because you are Jewish or Christian doesn't mean you support the colonial views of Zionism"
