This small island nation has not only been attracting tourists from all parts of the world but has also been showing a sudden increase in the number of foreign students flocking over to the region in order to gain quality International education.
Since there has been a rise in the number of universities in this area for the past two decades, it has been attracting a large number of students from across the globe.
There are 10 things that every new foreign student coming to New Zealand should know about the place, in order to survive happily and easily breeze through the initial hardships in getting accustomed to the place and people.
The general cost of living in NZ is high for a beginner foreign student during the period of settling in. A student in NZ would normally require an amount ranging between $20k and $25k per year ($380 - $480/week). This includes accommodation, food, transport, phone, Internet and entertainment.
As a newbie in NZ, it is not a great idea to have too much money on you. It is always better to find a bank close to where you stay and create a deposit there so that you can easily withdraw with an ATM card and can transfer/receive money easily. One can also find it easier to track the payments this way.
The way of life in New Zealand is pretty much similar to most western countries. The Kiwis are generally known to be highly passionate about sports. They are very informal and friendly in their approach and expect the same back from others. They do not tolerate littering the streets, spitting on the pavements and other such behaviour. In fact they consider it very impolite and barbaric.
If you have a car, then you must know that in order to drive legally in NZ you need to either have your driver’s license from your home country or an International Driving Permit (IDP). In case of an emergency like fire, crime or an accident the number to be dialled is 111.
One can also spend the weekends by clubbing, fishing, shopping etc. Having a good New Zealand Immigration consultant can help an Indian student with New Zealand Immigration advice as well as help in adjusting with the culture and heritage of the country.
