Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in, and it can be a real struggle to live here especially if you are an undergraduate student. You’re battling the never-ending rain, tuition, rent, transit debacles, rain, school and rain. It can be especially challenging if you are living away from home for the first time.
