Getting to Know Toronto and Vancouver
There’s lots of reasons why international students choose to study in Toronto and Vancouver. Toronto ranked an impressive #13 in the world on the 2022 QS Best Student Cities Ranking, and Vancouver arrived at #18 on the same list.
Here are a few key reasons why Toronto and Vancouver are such incredible study abroad destinations. Both are multicultural and inclusive cities, where international students will immediately feel welcome. The BBC named Toronto the most multicultural city in the world, and Vancouver has strong cultural ties to the Asia-Pacific region. Both offer all the advantages that come with big city living, such as world-class shopping, sports teams, dining, entertainment, culture, and more.
Yorkville’s Toronto campus is located in the city’s downtown, and the Vancouver campus is in New Westminster. New Westminster is a short journey by SkyTrain (light rail) from downtown Vancouver, offering students the best of both worlds.
