I lived in Vic and I'll say its an awesome place to live. It's an interesting dichotomy of a town, with lots of young people for schools and lots of old people for retirement. Victoria is great because its such a condensed city you can literally walk everywhere, and bike is probably the fastest way to get around the city. The transit systems in both are strong so thats no concern. Everything is a bit more expensive in Vic because it has to be transported to the Island via ferry. Vic is also more of a tourist town than Vancouver (lots of cruise dockings). If you're going to be roomating it, I was able to for around $550 a month all included, so its reasonable. But as you mentioned UBC is considered a more elite school than UVic, but UVic is still a good school.
