Anyone is studying in New zealand now or studied in NZ before?
Is it a beautiful place?
Is it a safety place to study?
How much is the living expenses per annum?
Is it easy to find a job there?( part time and full time)
Come on,Just share your experience HERE!!
You can talk whatever you want about New Zealand.
If you never study there, and thinking of studying there like me, you can ask any questions you want to know.

Looking forward to hearing from those who have experience or informations.
Thank you.

Most courses in NZ universities are open entry - ie you only need basic high school/pre-u qualifications to get in.

Easy to get in, harder to get out with a degree. Plenty of people leave without a degree/take far longer than they should to graduate.

nothin is impossible

I didn't do A-levels also I finish my Bcom within 3 years rclxm9.gif

yes, nz has the strange distinction of accepting student from ncea level 2 directly into non-critical courses in uni.......and for schools offering the cie a-levels, the equivalent is as results........

Hey,

I desperately need some help! I'm thinking of doing an undergraduate exchange with University of Auckland but encountered some problems. I heard the normal course load there is 60 points per semester, but is there any maximum points I can take per semester? Also, if I will be going over there for semester 2 can I also register for subjects available in 4th quarter? Because I noticed business administrative courses are only available in quarters not semesters, why? Can I as an undergraduate do Business Administrative courses? Are they graduate program courses?

And does anyone have any idea about the law-commercial courses offered in University of Auckland? Is there any criteria to be able to take those courses when I'm on exchange? Because there are a number of courses I saw which stated that PGCLL and MLS students please contact the Postgraduate Student Adviser at Law School for approval, what is PGCLL and MLS? Also, there's this one course called Commercial Arbitration & Dispute Resolution that has class dates from 5th to 7th, 10th to 11th Aug 2009 only and the stated meeting days are mon to fri 9am to 430pm. Is this course a project or are there classes? How can anyone take this course since it'll definitely clash with your other subjects?

I need to state my decision whether I would like to do an exchange over at University of Auckland by today so anyone have any advice please please please reply. I'll greatly appreciate your help! Thanks.
