It is beautiful up there. If you are studying up there, be sure to gather some friends and take a road trip up to Banff, it's one of the famous skiing destination if you like skiing. Also, go to Lake Louise, you can go at different times because during the early part of spring, the lake is still frozen and it's a beauty on its own and if you go during summer time, the ice would have completely melted and you see the lake in a totally different way.

What other cities are considered British Columbia. I know Vancouver is definitely one of the cities.
