i think it really depends on what you are after....if you like small town, christchurch is good, but it can be boring. after 5, it's like a deserted town. i have visited the christchurch polytech, it's a pretty cool place.

i used to like auckland but there are too many chinese/asian there now. plus the `hilly' that is mentioned is quite `siong' to walk or cycle. however, the uni is in the heart of town, so convenience it there.

however, if you intend to work after graduating there, i reckon australia is best. sydney/melbourne offer lots more job opportunity.

PSC has a list of overseas uni that they recognised if you are thinking in terms of coming back to Singapore to work after your overseas study. NZ is a nice country to visit.

Canterbury''s rugby does not rock. THE BLUE are way better! haha ^^ ok i am bias

Um... i thought of studying foundation at palmerston north. It's kinda near wellington but still in the North Island. And then after foundation i can go to auckland uni cause that's the best uni in newzealand and you know.. the cert is the most important thing also! (:

Canterbury or Christchurch can be visited during holidays/roaptrips etcetc!

Canterbury's better place to study..

Things there is slightly cheaper compared with Aussie..

I've been out of touch with Christchurch already.. but if things haven't really changed, parking is still free at most places outside town area. There were a lot of 5 min, 1 hour, 2 hour free carpark around town if i recall correctly.

In aussie, most carparks are not free, esp in town.

Plus, the currency is lower than Aussie..

New Zealand South Island,especially the rural areas outside Christchurch can be very breathtaking so i do recommend studying at that island

(; thanks for the replied. have any of you guys been there to study? I am actually a PR in newzealand, but i dont think that the schools are very recongized in singapore. But, NZ is much more affordable than aussie

Hi, i was wondering, which nation NZL or Aussie is a better nation to study in. In terms of the people, culture & educational insitutions. For aussie, i'm looking at Melbourne and for NZL i'm looking at Auckland. Anyone who has been/studied there before, please give some advice. (:
