I'll be moving to North Vancouver next February to go back to school and I'm looking for advice from anyone who lives or has lived there on how much I should expect to spend on living expenses for the year, areas I should or shouldn't look for an apartment, .etc.

I'm single, no kids, no car, and until I have to start paying back my student loan no outstanding bills. I realize rent won't be cheap but since I've been advised by my school to not look for part-time work I'm looking for a place as cheap as possible but not in a rough area. The school is on West Esplanade so I'd prefer a place as close as possible.

Thanks in advance
