provides a good climate for student learning. In addition to what the
college offers students, noted below, ABC is located near anything a student
would need. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, a hospital,
and many stores. It is also a short walk to downtown, however students
may opt to take the Vancouver Sky Train or the bus system, minutes away
from the college. Using these inexpensive sources of transportation students
can also visit BC Place, The Downtown Vancouver Library, GM Place, Stanley
Park, many world famous theaters, museums and much more.
ABC has an
up-to date computer lab/language lab. Classes use the space to better

Housing
Students may choose to reside in Vancouver by using our Homestay Program
(living with a Canadian family). This is very advantageous for someone
visiting Vancouver for the first time, especially if he/she is here to
learn English. However, other arrangements can be made by talking to our
Academic Advisor. Contact American Business College for more information
regarding accommodations.
Activities
American Business College prides itself on the activities it offers its
students. The college, which tries to provide a family atmosphere in the
school, offers one school wide activity once a month. ABC's Activities
Director carefully selects these activities by researching what is unique
and seasonal. In regards to the school wide activity, students may do
things like, go snowboarding or skiing in Whister, go to the Opera at
the Orpheum theater, or take in the sites of Granville Island.
ABC also offers many extra curricular activities to its students. These
types of activities include, art classes, film and television study, conversation
clubs, choir and dance, and games. Plus, via the ABC Student Association
students may be offered the opportunity to take part in other student
selected activities.
In addition to the above, ABC's students are always kept up-to-date in
reference to what's happening around Vancouver. Thus students can make
educated choices as to what to do with their free time while visiting
the city. ABC also brings in various tour groups occasionally which offer
students trips, such as The Rocky Mountains.
