    Located between 40 to 60 minutes travelling distance from the school, they provide you with a clean, comfortable, private room, equipped with a desk, bed, dresser, closet and good lighting. Homestays are culturally diverse and reflect Vancouver's multicultural population; they are safe, secure, inspected and approved by our Student Accommodation Department.
