Moving to Saskatoon, any tips?

Hey there!
I'm moving to saskatoon this summer for school and was wondering if any of you locals could spare some tips!
I've heard that the east side of the river is usually nicer with newer properties and a safer neighborhood. I've looked online a bit and noticed that its usually around 900-1200 for a 1 bdroom apartment/suite.

Does anyone have any tips in which neighborhood is more popular, has more amenities? I'm heading down there in a few weeks to check out places but would love any tips from the locals! Even favorite places to eat!

Thank you in advance!:lol:

PMing you.
