I think that works mostly on TV series.

Not that students don't meet friends on afternoons to go for coffee, but it is rare. Especially when meeting somewhere else for free is, well, free.

People don't pay for a coffee nowadays, they pay for a place to sit and use the wifi

Wow, that must be the most American thing I've heard in a long while.

It is. Unfortunately, American society has finely tuned itself to money/business oriented thought processes. So much so that most people here think its awkward to just spend an afternoon at a coffee shop talking.
