Both cities are amazing, but personally I'll choose Melbourne for living🙃 I think the worst thing about Australia is the Christmas, I like snowy Christmas, not a sunny one🙄 Of course I really like to visit both of them.
In the term of population, Greater Melbourne is about 5 millions, Metro Vancouver is around 2.5 millions. Unlike city of Melbourne, and many other cities, City of Vancouver is geographically very small city. Although Vancouver is 4th most densely city in North America, its population will be surpass by its suburb Surry in next thirty years.
In regards to Vancouver universities, If you don’t get into UBC, an alternative is SFU (which is also its own little city on top of Burnaby mountain) and BCIT, which is similar to RMIT.
@@SashSays They are! An example is the SIAT program at SFU. Just not as renowned outside of Vancouver as their Melbourne counterparts are outside of Melbourne. I'll definitely visit Melbourne sometime!
Melbourne is a much bigger city with a metro population of 5 million, compared to Vancouver 2.5 million. When comparing the amount of universities, arts, sports, festivals, etc. It is better to compare Melbourne with similar sized cities like Sydney, Toronto and Montreal. The University of Toronto is larger, and has a higher world ranking than any university in Australia. I think Brisbane with a similar population of 2.5 million, would be a better comparison to Vancouver.
@@SashSays I understand that makes sense. I just thought it was unfair to Vancouver, because it is so much smaller. Although the scenery in Toronto and Montreal can't compare to Vancouver, they are far more sophisticated cities than Vancouver. Toronto has the 3rd largest live theatre scene in the world after New York and London, and all the big time sports leagues. Montreal has 4 huge universities McGill, Concordia, Universite de Montreal, Universite du Quebec and dozens more, creating one of the largest downtown student populations in the world. The nightlife is amazing, and the summer time is one big festival after another.
Toronto vs Melbourne would have probably been a better comparison. Even if you include the entire vancouver metropolitan area which has 2.7 million people, Melbourne still has more people.
Vancouver has lots of stunning natural sceneries such as snow covered mountains, water, small islands, greenery everywhere and the 4 seasons are unique and beautiful. Where as Melbourne doesn’t have the natural scenery like Vancouver and you can not differentiate 4 seasons there. It’s either cold or hot. Melbourne downtown is very vibrant and busy but Vancouver downtown is very quiet and calm. Apart from Vancouver natural scenery I like Melbourne than Vancouver.
Melbourne is amazing! I hope you make it there in the next few years! :) summer is hot there but great fun with the beaches, events and sporting events in January! So fun! NYE is good too being hot :)
@@SashSays I was born in Toronto, but lived most of my life in Los Angeles. There are a lot of Aussie’s all over Southern California. I know a guy who has a house in Sydney, and a house in LA. He spends 6 months at each house. Just in my small LA suburb, I can think of 3 Aussie families including a retired horse jockey from Melbourne. I asked him once, now that your retired will you move back to Melbourne. He said he loved the Southern California sunshine to much to do that.
I'm from Vancouver but now live in Melbourne. Your comparison is pretty accurate but one thing is the population of Vancouver is closer to 2.5 million. In North America it's a bit confusing because we refer to suburbs as their own cities so you have to google "Metro Vancouver population" to get the real number. It doesn't make sense to me either
okay. well i'll let you know that British Columbia, Canada as an entirety has 5 million (2019) and Victoria, Australia has 6.3 million (2017) - and out of that... the captial city of Melbourne has 4.9 million. a quick google search and you could have found this out :)
@@SashSays Greater Vancouver has 2.5 million. By using the political boundry (which any city can put anywhere) you've made Vancouver much smaller than Winnipeg
Hey!! Not sure about the rest of my life. Australia is the best ;) But for now, my acting career. Work opportunities are better here for me than home! And I have a Canadian partner who you can meet in my Q&A with him a few vids back! X
@@SashSays I did. been following your vids. you're a beautiful couple. but as a international student, can you tell which country is better? and talking about Oz, what do you think about Perth? Is it a good place to live and the job opportunities there?
@@pratyakshsharma6632 thanks so much!! australia.. i only really can comment on the east coast because i have travelled and live all around there. melbourne's unis are some of the world's best. i would say go to uni in melbourne :) job opportunities are generally better in melbourne or sydney. largest cities. depends on your career path of course. i have never been to perth, my family has been there. very very small community and slower pace. very warm all year round.. definitely a smaller city. depends on the lifestyle you want :)
@@pratyakshsharma6632 If you are looking to migrate I would highly recommend going to a regional uni. Unless I'm misinformed, they relaxed which parts of Australia is classified as regional so you could go to a university in Newcastle or on the Sunshine Coast and still enjoy some city life as you'll be close to either Sydney or Brisbane respectively. You mentioned Perth which I personally find to be a bit too isolated from the rest of the country but I do believe it's also considered regional. I mention this purely because I've been in Australia for 7.5 years and I am struggling to get the points required to migrate here -- my life would have been so much simpler had I just earned the extra 5 points from studying regionally. If you're only looking to go to the most prestigious school I'd recommend trying to get enrolled at Melbourne Uni.
hey!! it's still pretty rainy so bring waterproof shoes with good grip and a raincoat/umbrella! and check out my other videos to get a real sense of where to go and what to do! i have a great playlist! i hope the suns pops out for your visit! :) have a great time!
Hi Sash I am currently in Melbourne but will be moving to vancouver or surrey permanently for job. How about expenses n other life style in BC. Secondly, i also want to know the comparison about scenic beauty in Melbourne n BC in more details. Thanks
i think at the end its all about location in the world, if you are asian australian would be better, if latin american canada since you can get ther in a 5 hours flight and for cheap. i guess you notice the amount of mexicans in vancouver now.
once you have travelled from melbourne to london which can take over 24 hours - no flight is too long! the direct flight from YVR to MEL actually goes by so quickly! even though it's 16 hrs! :) travel is always worth it - you just gotta save and prepare!
Vancouver has natural scenery and beauty such as magnificent mountains and lakes that Melbourne doesn't. There is a whale watch for tourists in Vancouver too. Australia generally is the flattest and driest Sun-kissed continent on Earth. Another big thing is: High level of UV rays in Australia so you have to put on cream whenever you go out. So if you like hiking and rock climbing, rafting - Vancouver is great. Melbourne weather can be 4 seasons in a single day! When it comes to artsy side, it is more relevant to compare Melbourne with Montreal (the fashion hub, with European high level culture and charm, amazing cuisine, music, museums, festivals, nightlife, etc.) .
Great video! I am planning to study a MBA and I haven't decided in which city yet. Can you do a video about the cost of living, studies, language, I am from Peru and I heard that understand Australian people is difficult, is that right? Apologies for my English
Never lived anywhere else in Canada yet!! 😉 can’t give my opinion on that unfortunately! Been to England 3 times. Twice in summer - and the roads were melting at 30 degrees! Hilarious 😅😅 and even the third time in winter it was like Melbourne winter. Around 12-14 degrees when I was there in 2014! 😊 quite warm in my opinion! I don’t know how other Canadians do -30 ❄️☃️🥶
Coming from Australia of course she’s going to think Vancouver is cold. Just like someone from Canada coming to Australia and finding the summers very hot because of the combination of hot temperatures and high humidity.
Subscribed. Most of houses in Vancouver are detached houses with gardens, even close to business centre. What about Melbourne? Vancouver is very green where detached houses are but has few trees and grass in business centre. What about Melbourne? Which city is greener? Canadian healthcare is paid from taxes but does not include teeth and vision. What about healthcare in Melbourne? Do you have to pay or it's paid from taxes? Are teeth and vision also included? About 35% of people in Vancouver are Asian, in Greater Vancouver more than 50% of people are Asian. What about Melbourne? Where taxes are higher? Where people are friendlier? There are many drug addicts and mentally sick people in the streets in downtown Vancouver. What about Melbourne? Where streets are cleaner? Does Melbourne have more bicycles? It definitely has more motorbikes. Is cold season sunnier and drier in Melbourne? Where people are more athletic (less fat)? Where parks are better? Where wages are higher. Minimum wage seems to be higher in Australia. In which city living expenses, including rents, are cheaper? Where is it cheaper to buy a house? Which city has better public transport? Is train network better in Melbourne? What is better: trams in Melbourne or trolleybuses in Vancouver? Where road traffic is less busy? Which city has more cycling lanes? Most sidewalks in Vancouver are made of concrete slabs with uneven seams between them. What about Melbourne? Asphalt or also concrete slabs or maybe sett? Where nature outside the city is better? Vancouver has mountains, lakes, forest, ocean near the city. Is Melbourne surrounded by desert? Where air is cleaner? Are there rainy months in Melbourne? Many people in Vancouver smoke marijuana. Is it legal to smoke tobacco and marijuana in the streets of Melbourne?
@@SashSays Yes, I'd like one more video on this topic! I moved to Vancouver 3 years ago but now temporarily in my native city which is Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia. I watched a walking tour in downtown Melbourne. It seems to be more crowded but having less cars
@@dmitriydotsenko6896 well Melbourne is very very green Soo green you won't find out weather it living in city or in a jungle . Heath care is almost similar to canada
Always enjoy your fact filled honest videos. Could you do a Sydney vs Melbourne video? I have heard many people say that Sydney is better for the tourist, but Melbourne is better to live in! I also think Melbourne gets unfairly put down a lot for its so called crappy beaches. On the Great Ocean Road there are several nice beaches, a few hours by car, and being an LA native a couple of hours drive is nothing!
Yeah for sure i can!! It’s hard cause i’ve only ever visited there and never lived but i can be a bit more general on the vibes! Melb beaches are great! Not packed and clear water 😍♥️ no nasties like jellyfish or sharks tooooo!! Protected bay area
@@SashSays Thanks for your reply! Yes I have also heard that! Sydney's beaches are better for surfing, but if that's not your thing, which with me it isn't, there are no real advantages to the Sydney beaches. Where in Melbourne the water is clearer and calmer for swimming. You do not have to worry about sharks and jellyfish, two things I will hold against any beach, no matter how pretty it is! Also don't forget Sydney has lots of roaches, another creature I do not care for!
@@SashSays LA is awesome! In my opinion up there with London, New York, and Paris for stuff to do! Does LA have lots of negatives, yes starting with to crowded with to many people!
@@gracedagostino5231 sydney has calm water swimming too. check out sydney harbour beaches and botony bay then there is port hacking and the bays there as well as some quiet beaches in royal nat park.sharks and jelly fish are not a problem . i have been surfing for 70 years and only stung once in a rock pool. IF you let those small issues affect you then you have lost and they have won.
You have the look of springtime in Vancouver when there hasn’t yet been enough consistent sun to get over the winter complexion of living in Vancouver. Not a diss, you obviously look great:) But I saw another video about “things you wished” and it’s like you’re Morticia compared to then. Ok I’ll stop now😂, sorry this Vancouverite has no filter lol
@@SashSays No that was a bad joke, just that It’s like Morticia and the Addams family (that film might be a bit old by now sorry) never sees the light. I mean when I look back at photos throughout the year i would be able to pick out ones taken just after winter and before summer kicks in because I have a blueish tinge because of the long stretch of cold cloudy weather. I was curious about Melbourne so I came across your videos, for some reason I watched the more recent one first about things you would have wanted to know before coming to Vancouver, then I saw the one about Melbourne vs Vancouver , so yeah in this one you’re not too pale or anything but you have that blueish tinge that doesn’t go away for us until the end of Spring lol. Like a different person compared to the first one I saw. Sorry it’s just that the seasons fascinate me, didn’t mean to make you self conscious. By the way I love late spring in Vancouver for all the greenery! But I’m fascinated with Melbourne because I had heard about the four-seasons-in-one-day climate!
@@SashSays can you please tell me: I always wanted to move to Vancouver, but after a research I realised that Vancouver rain too much, it can rain for 60 days non stop, and there's only 4 months of Sun the winter is too cold.. and because of this, I'm thinking in moving to Melbourne... because you're from Melbourne and you are living in Vancouver, can you please help me out with an idea of what's the best option? Like Vancouver or Melbourne. Thanks.

You're very Beautiful.... Do you pretend to settle in Vancouver forever?
I wont be here forever, no!
@@SashSays can you please tell me: I always wanted to move to Vancouver, but after a research I realised that Vancouver rain too much, it can rain for 60 days non stop, and there's only 4 months of Sun the winter is too cold.. and because of this, I'm thinking in moving to Melbourne... because you're from Melbourne and you are living in Vancouver, can you please help me out with an idea of what's the best option? Like Vancouver or Melbourne. Thanks.
