Doubtful.... Not only are income taxes higher, but you also have PST, carbon tax on gas, extra liquor taxes, etc...

On top of that, the cost of everything is more. They even have laws limiting how cheap beer can be. This is from someone who lives in Vancouver.

That being said, UBC is a place with beaches and is also located in a rain forest. You'll realize pretty quickly what you're paying for.
