New Zealand’s largest city earns a particularly strong score for student mix, thanks to its large and diverse student community, combined with an inclusive and tolerant culture.
Other high scores for Auckland come in the desirability and employer activity indicators, showing it’s both an in-demand and comfortable place to live, and a favoured recruiting ground for graduate employers.
Its weak spot is affordability, due to comparatively high tuition fees and living costs. But don’t let costs dissuade you – the city has plenty to offer in return.
Auckland is particularly well-known for its multicultural diversity, and (like most of New Zealand), for the wide range of adrenaline-fuelled activities on offer in and around the local area – climbing, jet-skiing, diving, snowboarding, sailing, canyoning, surfing – pretty much anything you can think of. This is definitely a good choice for students who like to unwind by getting active! There’s also plenty of culture on offer, from classical music to the huge annual Pasifika Festival.
