Auckland is the number one destination for immigrants when it comes to job opportunities, but it is very expensive as far as accommodation goes. Social life for young people is usually more developed in larger cities.

Could i venture to ask why you personally did not use your own proffered advice BEFORE you moved ? Me thinks you may not be in the predicament you find yourself re:schools had you done so and not quite as vindictive toward those offering help/advice freely and in an encouraging manner , after the fact , due to your own lack of personal insight .Non illigitamento carburundem .
