Our city
The Royal Roads University campus is just a few kilometres from Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Drive your car or take the bus, or enjoy the scenery as you ride your bike on the Galloping Goose, a popular trail that brings you to the heart of downtown. The mild climate and welcome atmosphere make Victoria a favourite for visitors year round.
The breathtaking campus at Royal Roads is a major attraction itself, with its 260+ hectares of rainforest hiking trails, walking paths, a saltwater lagoon and tranquil Japanese, Italian and rose gardens. At the centre of it all is Hatley Castle, the iconic heart of the campus (and setting of over 33 major motion pictures, including the X-Men franchise).
