Living in Dunedin

[quasimodo]

Hello gruop,

I would like ask you guys something about the city of dunedin. How is life in dunedin? As a young person, what is the ratio of young population in dn? I have lived all my life in a big city and I have some concerns about to live in Dunedin.

Thanks ...

Dunedin has a very large student population so I guess during term time there are lots of young people around.

Hello and welcome.

Hello again dears.
Yeah. I will be in there during mostly term time. I want to learn another important point. I know it depends on the life quality but how much money is enough to live for per week in the average without accommodation? 200$ is enough without?

Do you mean, for your food?

Here is a thread where people are discussing what they find they spend in NZ for various expenses. http://www.enz.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35524

Dear JandM; ↲
what I meant was food, transportation and a little entertainment. Thank you for your quick reply.

By the way, is the bus system organised well or do i have to buy a car?

Most students live close to varsity/polytech, so still on sea level. Bus system here (not only Dunedin, but all over NZ by my experience) is not as good as in Central Europe but sufficient. I would think that you can live well without the need for a car. The students I know here in town can do satisfactory with $200/week plus accommodation.
