Here are just a few reasons to study in Victoria:

1. The people are very friendly.
   
2. The city is small and safe.
   
3. The weather is wonderful. (In summer, not so hot and winter not so cold!)
   
4. Victoria is close to the U.S. (It takes only two hours to Seattle by ferry!)
   
5. The quality of Home stays are great!
   
6. People come to Victoria to live after they retire, so it’s a very calm city due to the older population.
   
7. There are many ESL schools which have small class sizes. (You’ll have a lot of opportunity to speak English!)
   
8. English pronunciation is good and clear.
9. Some people are interested in learning Japanese, so you will be able to do language exchange with Canadians.
10. There are not so many places to hang out at night, so you can concentrate on your studies!
