Hi,
Just recently joined; my Dad recommended me to this part of the forum for any help with Uni stuff. I'm literally two days away from completing my A-Levels in England. I'm moving to NZ in August with my family on a 'Permanent Residency' visa. I have been in contact with several Universities to confirm a few enquires such has how much my fees are (which are domestic fees), grades etc...
I understand quite a bit of the Uni system in New Zealand, but I'm struggling to understand how the loan system works. I know obviously that I have to pay it back and that is based on my salary when I get a job. But what exactly am I entitled to? From what I can see I'm entitled to the Compulsory Loan (for fees and admin costs) and course related fees. But does that include accomodation? Is is possible to apply not on the Internet, just like the English students do here? Also the process on the Studylink website seems bewildering to me? lol
Can anyone help please, or set me in the right direction? Your help will be truly appreciated
Thanks
Colm
