9,857 km away from home and in the mood for some Tom Kha Gai? Well, you could just buy groceries and cook them. 

New Zealand’s Kosco is the store to find the ingredients you want to cook Asian food, that is if you are missing home. Or, you could just order takeout.

It goes without saying though, New Zealand’s dishes are delicious and packed with culture. From their traditional Maori ‘Hangi’ to their different cheesy Southland Sushi and sweet Hokey Pokey ice-cream, you are going to love their food!

The best part is, as a student you are eligible to receive a Student Card. With this, you can get discounts on select restaurants, groceries and so on. You can check out the details of the Student Card here.

Why? Once you register and apply for your valid concession, you will be able to reduce your travelling expenses to a good degree. 

The common modes of transport are buses, trains and ferries. 

In Auckland and Wellington, you have train services to the suburbs if you want to explore the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand!

9. Making Yourselves at Home

Living in New Zealand

Searching for places to stay in New Zealand is easy considering the different types of accommodation and their accessibility.

You can reside in hostels to be very close to your Institution. Many institutions provide their own hostel accommodation, as well as flats, which are maintained very well. 

As a hostel resident, you will definitely have enjoyable experiences with your flatmates. Moreover, your meals are taken care of.

If you want to have a closer look at New Zealand’s culture, you can check out ‘Homestays’. You get to stay with a family, with your own room and maybe your meals will be provided.

There is always the option of renting an apartment with a roommate(s). The average price for a 3-bedroom flat is NZD215 a room per week. 

Managing your own house and the essential billings are one of the best things you will learn this way. You find rooms in and around the city, and you may even find one near the Institution you study in.

10. Funds matters

Funding for international students

An essential factor taken into consideration when studying overseas is your funds. You need to prove that you have the means to meet the cost of living in New Zealand.

If you are on a scholarship or if you have a guardian you may not have to show any proof of funds. (Studying on a scholarship is really a big advantage huh?)

However, if you are going to study in New Zealand for over a year, you are required to show funds of minimum NZD 15,000 for the first year. 

If you are going to study for less than a year, it would be good if you have at least NZD1250 for each month.
