In Summary

In Summary, I would choose the Kinesiology program offered at the University of Victoria. I chose this program, mostly because of the location. Most of the programs were the same length and had the same amount of prerequisites. Also I love the atmosphere of Victoria, it’s a beautiful city, as well as the campus. The idea of living on Vancouver Island is also quite appealing. Therefore, I would choose to study Kinesiology at the University of Victoria.
