Sweet, come study in NZ.

no Trump
much less gun violence
less Christian ideologies.

Did I mention no Trump?

How hard is it to get accepted into college there from someone in the states?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The thing to keep in mind is that our unis are 3 years, and we do the first year (of a 4 year course) at high school. Moght need to be switched on or do a foundation course

Other than that, as far as I can tell pretty easy - especially as our unis are crying out for students.

How's the rent?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Student accommodation isn't to bad, my uni comes with gym access as well. Mall across the road to pick up general stuff.

What's the cost like?

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Depends on courses - im a domestic so we're subsidized as well.

For my uni - Massey.ac.nz for a good overview. Victoria or Uni of Canterbury also aren't bad. Uni of Auckland is the top rated, but puts you in the middle of the city and resigns you to just a number - not for me.

Canada, same. Except for the less Christian ideologies. Depends where you go. And some Canadians are trumpers. Ok maybe don’t come to Canada nvm.
