Colleges, Universities, and Schools
in British Columbia.
People go to British Columbia
to study - fall in love with the province - and end up living there. It's that kind
of place. From the beautiful islands and waters of the Juan de Fuca straits, to the
bustling sophistication of the city of Vancouver, B.C. - as Canadians call the province
- truly has something for everyone.
Vancouver, tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, is a never-ending
source of delight. You can take a meditative walk through the acres and acres of
gardens in Stanley Park, hike in the mountain ranges just at the edge of the city,
stroll on a beach, wander through museums and galleries, dine at a world-class restaurant,
and then meet your lover on the steps of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre for an evening
of ballet or opera. After the performance, sit and enjoy a drink at one of the many,
European style sidewalk cafes.
Another feature of British Columbia is its rich wildlife. You can see green herons
and trumpeter swans or any one of the hundreds of thousands of birds that migrate
up the Pacific corridor. You can go out along the coast to watch the twice-yearly
migration of Pacific gray whales. There's nothing like seeing these huge mammals
glide and dance through the water as if they were performing just for you. There
are also yearly salmon runs that are the largest in the world. As if that weren't
enough, you can see mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and caribou browsing at the side
of country roads, or black bears and grizzlies fishing in the rivers.
