New Zealand has long been a popular destination for international students. It is a country of outstanding natural beauty offering beaches, lakes, forests and mountains. With a population of four million, it is uncrowded and unpolluted but still offers a vibrant lifestyle.

Auckland has a population of over one million people of many different nationalities, adding to the international flavour of the city. The excellent shopping centres and entertainment facilities are a "must" and the abundance of superb cafes and restaurants offer an unbeatable choice of food from around the world. The "Kiwis" are friendly, honest people who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle that the warm, temperate climate allows.
