VGC Opens New Student Residence in Downtown Vancouver

January 10, 2017 Posted by Carmen Rudy Uncategorised

dsc_2231_web

We are excited to announce that VGC students now have the possibility to stay in our brand new and modern student residence in downtown Vancouver. In addition to the traditional homestay accommodation we can now provide our students with a much-needed and often requested accommodation option in the downtown area.

As a leading provider of English courses in Vancouver we are happy to announce that the residence opened its doors at the beginning of this month. Students learning English at VGC International College will enjoy the easy access they will have to the school as it is just a 15-20 minute walk or a 10 minute bus commute away from school.

Accommodation is arranged in fully furnished apartments with single and double rooms that all have a common kitchen, laundry facilities, and a common living room as well as shared bathrooms.
Rooms will provide students with a great place to live, offering comfort, luxury, privacy and access to a communal space to interact in an international environment exclusively with other VGC students. Each room includes a single bed, a large window, TV with Netflix and a high speed internet connection.

Next to their rooms and spacious living areas students will also have access to a fitness centre as well as a Jacuzzi. Living in the residency enables students to enjoy gorgeous views of downtown Vancouver, the Pacific Ocean and the North Shore Mountains from their apartments as well as the common areas of the student residency. The central location offers easy access to shopping areas, bars and restaurants, nightlife, beaches and several tourist attractions. An onsite concierge provides 24hr security and support.

Residence accommodation is available for adult students (18 and older) who are seeking an affordable downtown location and are looking to experience the bustling city life while they study abroad. As space is limited we recommend inquiring and booking well in advance. If you would like to receive more information please contact VGC directly under [email protected].

Meet Otavio from Brazil 🇧🇷! He completed a Meet Otavio from Brazil 🇧🇷! 

He completed a three-week English course at VGC, and shares his student experience and why it’s important to never stop learning 📚: 

“I decided to do an exchange to study English at the end of 2021, because I believed it would be a good way to acquire vocabulary and improve my listening skills. As I would only have 3 weeks to study, I needed to make a choice that would give me all this experience with intensity, but in a light way. I found it all on VGC! I spent 6 hours a day at school, but it wasn't tiring, on the contrary, it was always fun, because in addition to English, I also learned a little more about the different cultures of my classmates. 

The VGC team is amazing!! The teachers, the support team and the activities coordinator (Brent) are always very attentive and available to help in any situation! It was an amazing 3 weeks where I could improve my English, make new friends and learn more about other cultures!”

📩 DM us if you want to share your story with #VGCcollege! 💯
