Hostel:

VFS doesn't offer on campus housing as the campus is in downtown Vancouver. They do, however, offer Housing Services which can help students over the age of 19, find convenient and affordable housing with trusted landlords. As I wasn't 19 when I arrived in Vancouver, I wasn't able to find great housing and ended up renting a room.

VFS is one of the best school for digital arts in the world. If you work in any creative industry, odds are there's a VFS student working with you. In addition to that, VFS specialises in my field, Game Design. One of my seniors, a very good friend of mine is also a VFS alumnus and his experience was essential in me choosing to attend at VFS.

Hostel:

Off-campus shared house where students from the same school can stay with the option of choosing shared rooms or private room. Close to the school. Surrounded by places to eat.

Best in North America at that time. Situated in a city that has a great culture, weather and job opportunities. Had a course that I loved and could not find in any other college. Course was short compared to what other colleges had to offer.
