Moving to Vancouver... (help!)
by goleafsgo » 4/11/2006, 7:02 pm
Yea, I plan on moving to Vancouver for school in September... It'll be my 3rd school and 4th program in my life (*sigh).Hoping fro some background information. How's the rent? Grocery prices? I mean in Toronto rent can be as low as 350/month in crappier neighbourhoods and I can score some groceries in Chinatown for supercheap... Anything like that in Vancouver (I know the huuuuuge Asian population, but is there a nice and cheap Chinatown?). Uh, what's fun? Any recommendations? Ideas? Thanks!

i think vancouver could be as low as 350/month also, but as you said, it would be crappy. i'm not so sure about grocery shopping though, since i never any myself... although i did a huge project on this last year for Planning 10 *shudder*. maybe i will look into it and post it later.

Yay Vancouver 
I wish I could live there
I wish I could live there
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Groceries are usually $100-150 a month, depending on whether you're thrifty or not.
You might be able to find a seedy joint for $350. But there are some decent shared apartments/suites to be had for $450-600 range plus utilities.
Which is quite high when you compare that to me renting a whole house for $625 a month plus utilities

Oooh that site is pretty sweet. Where would Simon Frasier be located on there?
[edit] maps.google.com-ed it... Wow, the two schools are far apart. Oh boy. Thanks! Rent is my biggest concern right now. I hate paying rent... almost as much as I hate paying taxes.
