Personal comments
Events are mainly hold by international students which is a bummer because we don't have so much opportunities to interact with native students. They are closed in that sense. I definitely wouldn't recommend cafes here because they are low quality. If you must, try espresso house; expensive but totally worth it.

Personal comments
My city is quite small and accomadation is kind of a problem for international students. Expecally if they are looking for a place that university offers. I recommend the prospective students to think outside the box and take risks. I did the same thing and now I'm living in a perfect apartment with less costs.
