Many of our website visitors from around the world are students enrolled in or considering Vancouver's (and BC's) vast network of English as a Second Language and related schools and institutions dedicated to familiarizing international students with the North American social and economic environment. Due to the mild climate, relaxed social environment, high standard of livability, large number of recreational opportunities and stable political system, Vancouver has become a mjor world centre for international students of the english language.
On any given day many thousands of students from around the world blend into Vancouver's cosmopolitan population, especially close to the downtown core where they study,live and play. Some are in town for sessions lasting a few weeks, some for much longer. To support the needs of these individuals an industry has developed catering to their accommodation, dining, entertainment and recreational needs.
We have compiled a variety of websites of interest to this segment of the Vancouver population, now in town or considering coming here in the future. The websites listed here provide specific content and links to much more. We hope these links are useful to you.
