Course recommendations
Study whatever you're interested in. However I used a lot of my open credits to study person interests, not classes for my degree at home. I really enjoyed learning South African history, art and literature at a South African university.

There are only a few bars in town and they are all fun. It depends on the crowd you like. There were a few coffee shops and cafes that were great to spend time at too.
