Personal comments
My favourite club was the choco' hunny tranny den. Also, I enjoyed the cafe's, though generally most people at this university have trouble understanding basic english, due to the special needs compensation which is applicable only at this universities. That said, there are upsides to talking to people who don't know what you're doing, if you get my drift.
