About going to New Zealand for a year, the main thing is to experience life and learn English!

I am a permanent resident of New Zealand. I attended junior high school in New Zealand for one year.

Based on my experience, my mother seems to say that studying abroad is not difficult. I checked online and found out, especially if my family members are from state-owned enterprises, as long as they have a good background, no It is not difficult to apply for any blacklist. It is not difficult to study abroad, but it seems not easy to stay for a long time and become a citizen.

There are several ways to minimize the cost.

One is to check the online websites for studying abroad before you go. Even if you don’t find an agency, some websites will write out the steps for applying to study abroad. You can also ask the customer service. Of course, unless the price is very low, Only then do you consider accepting an agency. In fact, the visa application itself costs thousands of dollars. I think it is more important to pass it in one go. And for formal language schools, you have to think carefully. What kind of environment is there and what to learn, you have to check it out online. Ask. Check out more places, and check Baidu to know what you know.

The second is the issue of housing. In AUCKLAND, New Zealand, In this way, the rent for even a small house near the city center is very high. The exception is far away. Even if you live close to a villa, the price is similar to a small room in the center. So if you want to be cheaper, you can live farther away and find a less luxurious one (one floor, no swimming pool) to live in a single room .As long as you make sure there is a bus to take you to school, you can save a lot of money.

TAXI is very expensive there, so it will be cheaper if you insist on taking the subway or bus everywhere.

Also, when you go there, you must ask about some places that sell things. Such as a market where stalls are set up and a website where things are sold. People there like to resell the things they have used in their homes and no longer want to use. The prices of these are often cheap and affordable. So when you see these people selling things online, you should quickly go to their home to pick them up according to the time they write. You can save a lot of money.

Finally Just make money by yourself. In fact, it is very easy to work in New Zealand. There are no academic requirements. Especially working for a Chinese boss. You work on weekends, 2 days a week, 5 hours a day, 6 New Zealand dollars an hour, 30 New Zealand dollars a week. If you save money, the cost of food will be recovered. Furthermore, remember to surf the Internet at home, or if the library has free Internet, do not go to Internet cafes. And do not buy food from Chinese or Korean stores, as it is too expensive. You can also buy some Chinese goods by yourself after living for a long time, rent a stall in the market and sell things to make some money. Together with your classmates.

In fact, if you save a little, it is not expensive. If the language school is run by the government, it seems to be cheaper than the private one (especially for Asians).

I will calculate the cost, but it may not be accurate.

One year = 365 days

Take the bus for 6 yuan a day (round trip, including weekend work), eat for 10 yuan (2 yuan (the yuan here = New Zealand dollars) for a bottle of water, 4 yuan for a hamburger), and other extra 4 New Zealand dollars each. 20*365=7300 yuan=33,000 RMB (just save it when buying clothes and shopping)

Then there is the tuition fee: Actually, I don’t know about the language school. Anyway, I The one above seems to be at least 20 New Zealand dollars a day. Let’s count it as 20 New Zealand dollars.

There are four holidays a year, two weeks at a time. 40 weeks = 5*40 = 200 days = 200*20 = 4000 yuan = 4000*4.5 (exchange rate) = 18,000 RMB.

Including your visa application, air tickets, etc., it is about 60,000 RMB per month.

Okay, let’s take a look at you How much can you earn by working? New Zealand has laws. If your shop owner doesn't give you a salary of more than 8 yuan, you can sue him. And as a student, I suggest you look for a salary of more than 8 yuan. Otherwise it would be too tiring. 10 hours a week is 80 yuan a week. 320 yuan a month, and there are eight weeks of vacation per day. For eight weeks you can work full time, every day, and I guess your tuition has been paid. Most of it.

8*5*8*7=2240 yuan 2240 320*10=5440 5440=24480 yuan

So now you only need to use 60000-24480=35520 yuan per day

By the way, housing costs about RMB 100 a week, so you need 4,800 yuan a year, which is 21,600 yuan.

I suggest you set up some business by yourself, work as a nanny or something. The total cost is about 57,120 yuan

This is without going shopping. And eating should not be extravagant.

There don’t seem to be many residential schools in New Zealand. Anyway, I didn’t get accommodation in any of them I went to.

Also, in fact, the students in language schools are either Chinese or Malaysian and other Asians. The reason they go to language school is to prepare for long-term living in a foreign country. Since you are only learning English, I think it is best for you to go to a high school or university there. Because the English taught in language schools may not be the most extensive, and the English atmosphere there is not the best either.

Just a suggestion. Actually, I have never been to a language school. I went to a private junior high school at that time.

Also, when I went there, I had to make friends with foreigners. But for foreigners, you can find someone with a personality similar to your own.

Unless there are really no more foreigners, consider the Chinese.
