Replying to Vancouver?

Seriously thinking about going to college in Vancouver, so I'm just wondering if it's a pretty sweet city to go to, and how close are the hills to the actual city and what are the best hill in the area as far as terrain park goes?

also if anyone goes to Emily Carr University, how is the campus? and what are you looking at cost per semester?

Heard really good things about Vancouver otherwise, just wondering what's the NS opinion on the city?
