Location:Prince George is the hub of northern BC. Students will find plenty of local restaurants, shopping, live music, and nightlife. Prince George is big enough to offer students access to all the amenities, culture, arts, and entertainment they would expect from a major city, but small enough that they will feel at home and connected to their community.
