Personal comments
Harare is not a night city - especially for women. There are bars and dance clubs in the white suburbs that both men and women attend, but most of the African women do not go to bars or clubs. There are several places to go watch a movie though. The Westgate shopping center has a few good bars and a big movie theater.

Personal comments
Syracuse University arranges the housing with middle class Zimbabwean families, who will always provide a separate room, and breakfast and dinner. They are in nice neighborhoods of Harare and the houses are usually impeccably clean.

Personal comments
Everyone speaks English, but Zimbabweans prefer to speak to one another in Shona. It will definitely be beneficial to learn a few words and phrases in Shona while you're there. They will appreciate it (although they may also laugh at you).
