Same as me.

I'm starting next year

So when are you beginning your tertiary study? Next year or the year after?

OK, let's have a run through.

Auckland: way to big for me and to expensive.

Wellington: Again, to many people (did I mention that I hate very big cities?)

Christchurch: NO

Dunedin: To cold, but may be considered.

Hamilton: Yes please

I'll give you a brief run down on the cities.

Auckland: Biggest city in N.Z, 1.2 million people. Transport is expensive and difficult to use. Accommodation is about 1/3 more expensive than elsewhere. However the there is a lot to do and see.

Hamilton: About 200,000 people in Hamilton, 1 hour drive to Auckland and Auckland Int Airport, Has an International airport of its own. Comparitively cheap. Transport really easy to use, easy to get around. Quite a bit to see and do if you know where to look.

Wellington: Capital, Parliament sits in Wellington, about 300-400 thousand people if I remember correctly. International airport. Not sure about transport but I know there is a bus service.

Christchurch: About 500,000 people. Totalled by a large earthquake. Do not go to Christchurch.

Dunedin: About 200-300 thousand people. Can be very cold, snows in winter. Lincoln University, similar to other centres although isolated from other cities.

Thanks for the info That gives Hamilton an extra point, besides, it's on the lead anyway

I should probably mention there is a pretty strong Catholic community in Hamilton too, which I associate with.

Lucky you.

We will start school in September So I'm still on holiday :d

Just ending my first week back at school after a small holdiay break , what about you?
