Archer College provides students with the opportunity to enjoy a homestay experience. This housing option is ideal for those students who want to experience Canadian culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Students requiring private apartments must make their own arrangements.

location information:
The Archer College campus is centrally located near the heart of lovely downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Home to over 580,000 city residents and 2.1 million in the metropolitan area, Vancouver is famously regarded as Canada’s most beloved city with its close proximity to the spectacular sea-to-sky mountains, its clear ocean views and for its desirable climate, one of the mildest in Canada. Renowned for preserving its natural beauty within the city, Vancouver is home to one of North America’s largest urban parks, the picturesque Stanley Park that is frequented by cyclists, runners and roller-bladers and home to Douglas-fir and Western Hemlock trees hundreds of years old. Voted the “Best City in the Americas” in 2004 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, Vancouver is a dynamic, multicultural city with people from nations around the world filling the streets and speaking languages ranging from English and Punjabi to German and Japanese. As the Host City of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Vancouver demonstrates itself to be large enough to offer world-class events yet still retain its charm, safety and warm hospitality. The city’s stunning surroundings are also attractive to film producers; Vancouver is the third-largest film production location in North America following Hollywood and New York City. Sports enthusiasts have no problem in finding a team to cheer-on in Vancouver, a city home to dedicated fans that are serious about their teams, including the British Columbia Lions (Canadian Football League), the much-beloved Vancouver Canucks (NHL hockey), the Vancouver Canadians (baseball) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (soccer). Nestled along the Coast Mountain Range, downtown Vancouver is ideally a two-hour drive from the world-famous ski and snowboarding resort of Whistler-Blackcomb while the picturesque destinations of Vancouver Island, the Canadian Rockies, Victoria (British Columbia’s capital city) and Seattle in the United States are all nearby and provide fantastic weekend getaway options.
