Re: off-top
We do have a federal sales tax of 5%, but no provincial tax like other provinces, so yes, you'll probably save money over Toronto.
The U of A is an excellent university by everything I've been told, but I've never gone there myself.
I was born and raised here so I might be a bit biased, but I would say Edmonton itself is a pretty nice city and worth moving to and living in at least for a couple of years.
Be sure to check out the river valley a bit (it's much prettier in the summer, though). Whyte Ave is a great little entertainment and shopping area near the U of A. Of course we have West Edmonton Mall which is pretty neat to see and shop at. And since your from Moscow, I doubt our weather will scare you as much as it does others. ;)
There's some pretty neat stuff to see and do here, as well as to photograph.
