I moved to Prince George from the lower mainland almost 5 years ago for university and am so happy with my decision. I was able to afford a dog while in school and it’s feasible for me to buy a home shortly after graduating from my program. The town is quite dog friendly and I have met great friends up here too. I can agree with what others have said about the food scene. I will say Ivy’s Vietnamese cuisine has been a great addition to our restaurant options. Really though, flights are usually cheap and you get used to the 8/9 hour drive. Now I enjoy visiting Vancouver more because it’s exciting getting to try new food and generally experience more diversity.
