How much would it approximately cost for a two bedroom apartment/condo in Vancouver?
I'm not looking for anything fancy, but nothing old, slum-like either and the neighborhood should be safe enough to roam freely at night and shouldn't be too far from downtown. I'm interested in Fairview or Burnaby.
What would be the price range for an apartment like that? (to rent and to buy respectively)
Answer
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in Burnaby will set you back at least $1100 per month. The rents in Vancouver go up from there.
Condos would cost you around $300,000 as a minimum in Burnaby. In Vancouver the prices will be over $400,000.

I am a Lebanese student willing to study in Canada.What is the cheapest university that I can apply to?
Answer
In addition to the above answers, I will directly suggest a university for you to look into.
Winnipeg has 2 universities:
-The University of Winnipeg (Primarily Undergrad)
-The University of Manitoba (Offers a wide variety of graduate and professional programs (i.e. Medicine) in addition to Undergrad programs, those undergrad programs including Nursing, Social Work, and Engineering).
The University of Winnipeg is always rated as one of the top primarily undergraduate schools in Canada.
Winnipeg has the best of both worlds. Tuition is affordable and reasonable, although not the lowest in the country, AND so is the cost of living. Together, this makes Winnipeg a viable otion.
Although Winnipeg is not as large as Vancouver or Toronto (Winnipeg has about 700,000 people), it does have many parks (Assinaboine Park is top notch, and has a zoo) , cultural events (i.e. Folklorama), theatres, restaurants, and places to explore. The Forks, Corydon, and Osbourne Village are trendy places to walk, shop, and eat. St. Boniface, St. Vital Park, and Wellington Crescent are beautiful ares for walking in the Sumemr.
Winnipeg is generally very safe as long as you avoid the "bad" areas...like any other larger city. When you move, people will usually show you where to avoid going (i.e. The West end, North end, Downtown at night, etc.).
Winnipeg has managed to avoid the HUGE boom in increased renting costs, although housing prices have increased. Renting a 1 bedroom apartment in Winnipeg may set you back $475-$650 depending on which area you live, but that same apartment in Vancouver, Saskatoon (huge increase in rent in the last year), or Toronto may cost you $800-$1200.
Winnipeg also have a very strong immigrant community as well. I am not sure how many Lebanese people reside there, but you may be able to find out more information on the Internet. Winnipeg is known as being "cultural friendly". Winnipeg has many ethnic restaurants and events. Even though you are just visiting, perhaps this would appeal to you.
If you are looking for excitement, then yes, be prepared to spend big money and go to UBC, McGill, Laval, or University of Toronto. These are located in Provinces with the "big" major cities.
But if you are willing to give a good sized city on the Prairies a shot (if does get very cold in the Winter!), then Winnipeg is a good choice.
The key to liking Winnipeg is to go out and explore it. There is lots to offer if you know where to look.
Right now you need to go the websites of the different schools you are considering. They will usually tell you how much each credit hour costs. If not, call. Then look up apartments in that area and rank them. You need to find a place that offers BOTH decent tuition, AND a lower cost of living. Also, some schools allow scholorships for International Students. Look into that. The University of Regina caters to IN students. U of R is also a nice school if you don't mind living in a smaller city (200,000). Renting costs have gone up in Regina, but they are not as bad as Saskatoon. Regina is a pretty, very friendly little city.
Good luck with your choice!
