Hi! I got admitted at UBC and I'm thrilled, I have been to Vancouver but for vacation only. I'm also going to live with about 21-22K per year, and plan on living in campus. How expensive is it to eat there? I remember it was quite expensive from the tourist point of view, but living there and cooking on my own, do you think I'll spend more than 500 dlls per month on food? Also, how are latinos viewed there? When I was there, I was amazed about how nice everyone was to me, but I must say that I only visited downtown. I bet there is no such thing as discrimination up there, but still wanted to ask you guys. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone! I was admitted at UT-Austin, and I wanted to ask you guys (particularly for those that are not from Austin but currently live there) about discrimination. I am a Mexican woman, and this worries me a little bit. How is it like in Austin for latinos? And for latinos that are NOT born in the US? Thank you!
