Hello all, I'm a student from the USA strongly considering NZ for a move. Auckland and Wellington both seem great for different reasons. For my purposes the student scene is important, even though I'll be a 30-year old PhD student I'm still a night owl and go out. So which city is friendlier/has better accommodations for students? 24hr restaurants and coffee shops are definitely a plus.
Actually I am not even sure which Unis in NZ offer Gender Studies for a PhD, besides U of Auckland. Any others?
Oh you were the perfect person to reply to this Feminist solidarity! So I guess Welly is off the list but any other schools besides Auckland offer the PhD? So far I love Auckland and found the whole JAFA thing amusing.
I believe Canterbury University has post grad courses. But as much as I like Christchurch it just isn't as vibrant as Auckland, especially with all the earthquake damage.
As awesome as Auckland seems, I thought for a moment Wellington would have been a better fit since I prefer "small but mighty" cities. Examples would be my hometown of Tampa, Portland in the Pacific NW USA, or Stockholm. Not small I guess but mid-sizedish and not gigantic megapolises. However I'm tethered to areas that house a University with a PhD program in Women or Gender Studies. So far NZ appears to have only two schools that offer the program; Auckland and Canterbury Universities. Also Auckland is still reasonably-sized so I should be ok there, it seems like an awesome city.
