Clubs at VIU

One of the best ways to improve your English and your academic performance is to engage with other students in English, both Canadian and other international students.   It is an opportunity to engage in conversation in English and learn more about Nanaimo,  Canada, and the world around you.

Joining a club is a great way to do this and at VIU there are a number of active clubs that are ideal for international students to get involved with.   A good club meets regularly and welcomes new members.   Regular participation in a club is something you can even add to your résumé .

English Language Support  can recommend these clubs.    Read their websites or Facebook pages, come out to a meeting,  or email one of the contact persons to get more information.  After you have attended a meeting, if you don't like it,  then look into another club.

Another useful resource if you want to meet other students for more sporting activities is the VIU Student Life Activity Guide which you can download by clicking the link.
