    Default University fees

    Hi everyone,

    When looking at university costs, are you entitled to pay New Zealand fees if you are a resident and/or PR?

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    There are several posts on this; one quite recent.

    With permanent residence your are eligible for domestic fees here.

    I can confirm that - btw you can't get student loan until you've been resident for two+ years.

    Uni costs are pretty good in my opinion.

    My wife's entire Bachelor of Nursing degree at Massey will cost a total of about $17k NZD including all books and other costs factored in. That is extremely reasonable.

    Yes residents and PR pay domestic fee which is quite less compared to what international students pay.

    Thanks,
    To be very pedantic: It is not about who pays but who is paid for!

    We had the situation in the past semester that our daughter here was a domestic student (with comparatively little fees) whereas our son son was an international student (with not just slighty higher fees)
