I'm from, and still living in, New Zealand but I've lived in the UK. Do you prefer education over there to NZ?

Hey!! :smile: It's so good to see someone else from NZ here! Haha, loving your avatar!
Whereabouts are you studying?

I didn't go to high school in Australia (did that here) but from what I can see HSC subjects seem to be more relevant to 1st year uni here than NCEA L3 (from a science subject point of view).

My bad! I thought you were talking about Australia in your last post. I'm in NZ. I've never been to the UK yet but I'm just on TSR because I think I might possibly be applying for some UK and other European universities after I finish undergrad.

Oh, hey, that's pretty cool! I don't know anyone at Canterbury, I'm currently studying at Otago (1 more year left!!!).

That's pretty cool! Personally, I'd be terrified of taking that at uni :tongue: Haha.
I'm 3rd year but I have one more year after this one.

Oh, that must be so nice. Kinda wish I didn't move back from Australia. I've heard the Melbourne's notoriously hard to get into for certain courses! And haha, not yet since I won't be applying till next year but thanks anyway! :smile:
Though do the Australian universities have very strict spam filters or something? I used my gmail account to email a couple last year and very few replied.

Hey Guys, not from NZ but hoping to move there in the summer. Was wondering how easy it is to get work and if living there is really as good as everyone says?
