More like the most expensive city in Canada surrounded by junkies

Vancouver is expensive. Gas is a lot, insurance is a lot, rent is a lot, and the vacancy rate is right under 1%.

Unless you're coming from money, you're gonna have to choose between having a car and a place to live.

Good luck with UBC though, hope you learn mandarin okay.

I just want a place to sleep. And maybe shower every once in a while and plug a computer.

Yes, CAD is awful.

Yes, Vancouver is shit with an insane amount of vagrants, tweekers, etc. Income disparity is retarded there. There are a lot of high end places too.

Look at rentals and such online.

Vancouver is a Chinese colony and the real estate prices have gone through the roof, dragging rents up with it.
We're talking San Fransisco and nearly New York levels of living expenses. Good Luck anon.

It's expensive housing wise, but getting roommates can make it manageable. Do a lot of research about where you're going to live, there are a lot of not-so-safe neighborhoods. It is a really great place to explore though, you'll never have a boring weekend if you have a healthy sense of adventure and learn about it's history.
Good luck with school, I hope you enjoy Vancouver, it really is a pretty cool place.
