I am planing to relocate to New Zealand using the student route.
Want to get a diploma in information technology from Auckland institute of studies.
Is this a good idea?

Anyone?

Yes. It's a pretty peaceful place though they have their own problems. It has good infrastructure and a multicultural society. Pay is good even for humble jobs. They also have high quality, free/low cost healthcare.

My sister New Zealand is too far
Imagine spending 2 days journey
Why not consider Luxembourg or Canada
Paying double or triple air fares
It’s your choice at the end of the day

there is no direct flight to Canada from Nigeria. Egypt and Ethiopia air will take 22 to 24 hours. New zealand takes 26 to 28 hours. So what is the difference

Interested in knowing too

I saw online that Canada cost around $26,000 while $14,000 for new Zealand

depends on the school and course . If you check well the top universities in nz are over 44k in new zealand dollars. A school of 14k in nz still needs 10k as living expenses. Not cheap

"New Zealand student visas usually allow full-time students to work up to 20 hours a week during the academic year and up to 40 hours a week during the summer break. This applies to both secondary school and tertiary students. Research master's and PhD students can work 40 hours a week all year round.

Check your student visa – it will show if (and when) you are allowed to work."

Minimum wage is $20/hr in New Zealand. It seems you can (with roommates) rent a house in certain suburbs of Auckland for $600/mo, but these may be undesirable areas. I'm not sure. You can get everywhere you need to go by bus and train (with a student discount). And you can eat well on a budget. There should be enough left for entertainment and shopping.

Tuition looks expensive though. But you can work full time during the break (3 months) and you can earn enough to save a little in the school year. It still looks rough though.

The cost of living is very high, it's mostly a tourist hub for foreigners. Just get your education and move to a better place

Keep asking as if your own country is better

One guy dey NZ here try look for hin thread I don forget hin Monika I for tag am .

Go ask stylebender.

If you have the mind/Cojones for the adventure of your life... if you truly know what's strong with you, Then go for it!!

New Zealand is like nothing you have ever experienced... if you love the most serene, extreme, enchanting and outlandish landscape sceneries the Earth has to offer, then New Zealand is for you.

However, after the wickedly breathtaking scenes, it stops there ...
New Zealand is quite expensive, distant from the rest of the world, unique, a bit bizarre... sorry, not a bit, an extremely bizarre and unusual country with strange lifestyles. Yes there are Earthquakes and occasionally volcanic activity- brace yourself.

Even spoken English sounds strange...
"Rattle ya dags, I'm Knackered up wop wops" trust me, that sentence has a completely sensible meaning if you are in New Zealand. As if that's not enough Say "Kia ora" to another language of New Zealand "Maori". Don't worry, despite the Island-like flare, traditions and customs, New Zealand is sooooo peaceful... Peaceful to the point where its very boring. Even the people are boring, yes oooo! No Dorime. (Then again, boring is subjective).

Yes, you will be completely cutout from Nigeria (Flights to certain destinations are not just very expensive, but very rare to book)... hence, prepare to be an "Alien" to your own country for a loooooong while. While in that "Alien" state, learn how to do a "Haka" ritual with your adopted group of friends... The passion and intensity behind "The Haka" is super cool and scary at the same time.

Lastly folks who go to New Zealand always get absorbed into the strangeness and bizarrely strange enchanting Island, such that they fall in love with the strange, spectacular, breathtaking sights and lifestyles of the country and call it home away from home...

Naaaah I'm kidding, they escape to Australia to restart life again, after a while of dealing with numbing Strangeness in hobbit land

As long as it's not Nigeria, it's good. The space grabbers below me might have something to chip in...

Pray about it,let God direct you

It's a pretty cool country. I'm in Australia and NZ is a good neighbour

YES.

Yes

Try Old Zealand

I hate long flying hours is scary

Never been there, but I have a friend who went to Australia. Since my friend conformed Australia is cool I believe NZ would be alright.

The future want to Japa to new Zealand

Hmmm

And you just forgot to mention it's one of the most expensive places on earth to live in.
I spent a month there some years back. I practically deported myself
