I realize this is a silly question but are there gift shops at the airport? Want to purchase some souvenirs before departing

Hey everyone,
I’m starting at MUA this upcoming semester and could really use some advice from current students or recent graduates.
Right now, I’m planning to rent a 1 bed room apartment at Blue Reef. The lease would only be for about 4 months because I want some time to get to the island, learn the area, and see if there are cheaper apartments available before committing to anything long-term.
I have a few questions:
How is Blue Reef overall?
Is it a good place to live?
How is the management?
Any issues with electricity, internet, water, bugs, noise, or safety?
Transportation
Is it worth buying a car, or can I get by without one?
If I do buy one, how much should I realistically expect to pay for a reliable used car on Nevis?
Are motorcycles or scooters common among MUA students, or are they more trouble than they’re worth because of the weather and roads?
Buying from graduating students
I’ve heard that graduating students often sell their vehicles before leaving the island. Is that true?
If so, what’s a fair price for a reliable used car?
Any advice for new students?
Things you wish you knew before moving to Nevis?
Ways to save money?
Any recommendations for housing after my first few months?
I’d really appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks in advance!

Hi, can someone tell me when do you go through US Customs when departing from SKB. I have Global Entry but unsure do we go through customs at SKB or once we enter the US? I have two flights so do I hit customs after the first flight which enters Atlanta?

Thanks

I am hoping to connect with some old timers from fishing communities in Nevis. People who remember the traditional fishing culture from the previous two generations. Even "kids" who just have memories growing up with parents from that generation, to ask about memories from those days.

Are there any particular wharves / beaches / areas that are best for this? Or organizations that keep the traditional fishing memories alive? Any towns / bays that are really known for having been centers of traditional fishing or boating (i.e. pre-motor boats)?

Even recommendations for, like, bars or community centers where the old fishermen hang out? Maybe in Newcastle?

I am traveling to Nevis for the first time and I have no idea what the vibe is on the different sides of the island. Thanks.
