Good luck, are you living on campus or outside?
Campus is the only place in Quebec City where you'll see muslims and africans, fyi. QC is literally the whitest city ever.
>Is living cheap overthere?
In comparison with every other city in North America, yes, incredibly, actually. If you look, you can find large studios in downtown at less than 500$ a month, because almost every other building is classified as a historical landmark and you cannot make modifications, so they are rent controlled super tightly.
The one thing to know is that Quebec City is not a great place if you rely on public transports. First, we're savages when it comes to it. It's insane, but there's this thing about QC, its the only city where people don't line up for getting on the bus. Everyone rushes the door and pushes everyone to get through first. Second, service is pretty poor. The city is very sprawled (we're 3 times the size of Montreal despite being a fourth of the population). If you can't find a place to rent in Ste-Foy or Sillery (the nice quarters), or St-Jean or Limoilou (the less nice, but very well located gay/low-class quarters), you can go to Charlesbourg, but you need to account about 45m to an hour of bus to get and come back from univ then.
Growing up in Quebec City and having traveled a lot, all I can say is that I feel incredibly lucky having grown up there. I can get why anglophones wouldn't get the same feeling, because unfortunately we can be less than welcoming on occasions to them, bu to me it'll always be the best place on Earth to raise children.
Picrel is the Basilica of Quebec, the entrance next to it, under the white building, was my highschool, le Petit-Seminaire-de-Quebec. We're 2 minutes walk away from the Chateau Frontenac.
