In addition, I would have had international student rates, which were actually more expensive than going to a state school. Plus there was that entire ordeal of actually trying to get the go-ahead to be in Canada in a few months. On top of that, I would have really far away from my family, which is important to me, so I decided not to go. However, that's just my experience. I've heard Canadian schools are great, so if you want to pull it off more power to you.

There's no such thing as the "University of Vancouver" =/
