How does New Zealand compare to expenses and job prospects in the midwest of the US?

We Answered:

You mention careers linked to health sector so [a] it would be reasonably easy to find a job in that field. If you take a mid-point in your salary range that would be around $60,000 which would give you a comfortable lifestyle in SOME parts of N.Z. [ not Auckland or Wellington , due to housing costs ]. As others have noted N.Z. has more to offer than just money, great scenery plenty of beaches, sports, activities, nice people , fairly relaxed life-style etc.

What an American International student can expect in Christchurch?

We Answered:

I live in Christchurch, and we do have indoor heating, it snows here in Winter, this year it has snowed 5 times, of course we have indoor heating!

Also, things are more expencive than in the US, wool, which is produced here by the tonn a day! Is more expencive than in the US.

New Zealand is much more laid back than the US, less traffic, less people - less everything really!

There is a REALLY high percent of Asians in Christchurch, at my old school 3/4 of the kids were asian, not all of them could speak english, I think that is what annoys people.

Christchurch is a lovely city, beautiful gardens, interesting attractions, nice people, great weather (we acctually feel EVERY season), good shopping lol.

Theres so many places in Christchurch to live, every area is different! The university is in an area called Ilam, which is fairly nice, not city like, more a suberb. We have friends who are living at the uni, they just got married (they are indian).

You shouldnt have any worries about coming here, I would be more worried about going to the US. Its just Auckland (North Island) where you get gang violence. People say Christchruch has that at night, and I do believe them (long story, but friends of ours whet to have dinner once, and walked by this religious guy need the cathedral, when they came back, he had been killed). Anyway, dont let it put you off, thats only in the city centre, late at night.



Its a big way, but its really nice here. Have a good trip, if you need more info or pics, I would be happy to do so.

Also Queenstown is really lovely, wayyy to over-priced, you wont may any less than $100 000 000NZD for a basic house. Theres university of Otago down there.

Hope you have a great trip....Good Luck
