Expat life in Hirakata? (teachers)

Hello, I am considering a job teaching English in Hirakata and I was wondering what expat life is like there. I know it's a university town, half way between Osaka and Kyoto. There's lots of info online about student life, but I'm curious about what is like to live there as a foreign working professional. Are there any English teachers on here? TIA.

Is it a university job that you are considering?

"Teaching English" on peanuts salary won't make you an expat.
Do you even know what "teaching English" in Japan is?

Yes, it's a university job, the salary is not peanuts, and the definition of an expat is a person who lives outside their country.

Hirakata is a commuter city. many people in there go to Osaka (or some go to Kyoto) to work. it is convenient for living.

The good point of living and working in Hirakata would be the short commuting time. However, something to consider is the many of your students would live in Hirakata, and have part time jobs in Hirakata, so even after work and on weekends if you went to a supermarket, cafe, restaurant, etc, you would be constantly encountering your students. It depends on your personality, but some teachers find this draining. Also because students love to gossip you might find it intruding on your private life.

Hirakata has a population of almost 400,000 people, doesn't it? Unless the OP is doing all of their shopping and socializing in the area right around campus, I doubt they'll be "constantly" running into their students.
