Well, i come from vancouver, and I've been to montreal as well.
In my opinion, there is no better place to live than Vancouver, there is a reason why it is rated as the top3 cities in the world every year.
Vancouver is absolutely gorgeous, and there is a lot of nightlife too. You want a good stripclub you can go down to Brandys(forgot the exact name) and if you want nightlife, you can go down to downtown and there are a bunch of clubs around.
Vancouver isnt as metropolitan as montreal, but if you want to see a metropolitan city, you can go to NYC right?

I graduated from UBC and I can tell you that it is a great university, of course depending on what you want to take. UBC is good at everything dealing with medical and also material engineering, the rest is .. well .. i dunno.
And to study in mcgill, you will probably need to learn french, thats what i have heard.
Vancouver is also like a gourmet heaven, good jap food, best chinesefood outside of HK, steaks,

There are three ski mountains in north and west van, and whistler is only 2 hours away !!
not trying to put down monteral btw, but I have to defend my home city right?
