The answer depends on several factors:
1) Location of where you live
2) Mode of Transportation
3) Location of destination
4) Days and time of travel

Probably the best choice of transportation between Vancouver downtown and either Burnaby or Surrey is the Sky Train. The closer both your home and your destination are to the sky train, the better and faster it will be, as the fewer busses you will have to take to get to Sky Train stations. You can look up the Sky Train station locations on the web.

You will find that generally speaking, rents are lower in Burnaby and Surrey than they are in Vancouver. There are some areas of Surrey to avoid (whalley in particular). You will also want to avoid renting in the downtown east Vancouver, anything east of Nanaimo on up to Burnaby and including Burnaby isn't bad though.

As far as length of commute in time, it depends on from where to where and how many legs of the journey there are (walking time, busses, waiting, skytrain, etc).

Commuting by car can be a real headache, because you have to cross one of three bridges to get from/to Surrey from Burnaby or Vancouver. Parking is also often a problem.

In short, it's not too bad to commute between these various areas, depending again on locations, but as always, the shorter the commute, the easier it is on you.

Added note: cost of public transportation is more if you are crossing boundary road in Burnaby ... i.e. if you travel from Vancouver into Burnaby (Vancouver and Burnaby are divided by Boundary road) you are taking transit in two zones, so the cost goes up. If you live in Burnaby and commute to Surrey, you just travel in one zone, and cost is less.

Better to stay in Surrey cheaper rents

The sky train is the easiest way to get back and forth from downtown Vancouver and takes around 1/2 hour

1-3 hours drive at rush hour

Sky train also runs to Burnaby and you would get student rates

If your studying a daily trip will kill you. The bridge sucks both ways during traffic. The commute will tire you out and you won't be able to study. If school is in Surrey live in surrey and the accommodations will be cheaper, just stay out of Whally. When you want to hit the town you just take skytrain and have a great time.

With its mountain backdrop and downtown beaches, Vancouver has got the rightly gained reputation of being one of the most beautiful cities on earth, with hotelbye you could have the opportunity to see this excellent city. One of the areas you will need to see in Vancouver could be the Downtown Vancouver. Downtown Vancouver is brilliantly found on a peninsula in the Strait of Georgia bounded to the south by the delta of the Fraser River and to the north with a deep fiord achieving far inland. Here you can even see the frequently snow-covered ranges of the Coast Mountains. Stanley Park is one of the very most visited parks. Is a lush Peninsula Park of large trees adjoining to Downtown Vancouver. A flat seawall route encircles the green space, and most guests take some time to investigate on foot or by bicycle. Inland, the park presents many things to complete, and readers may invest a complete day exploring attractions which range from the totem rods at Brockton Point to the west coast sea life at the Vancouver Aquarium. Spectacular views certainly are a typical through the park.

if you drive traffic is a big factor. if you transit that makes for a really long day. to maximize your learning potential why not look for an apartment in Surrey or Delta even Langley. i commuted for school from Langley to newwest and i found myself exhausted by the time i got home. but langley to surrey isn't that bad of a commute.
