Cadeonehalf:
Yes. And for delicious dodo meats.

1. Is this a good idea?
2. I was thinking the north island for no real reason. A wise choice?
3. If I'm there from January to June, what will the weather be like? I'm confused by the alternate seasons and have heard conflicting reports! I like warm weather more than cold weather...
This one anyone can answer:
4. Should I study in NZ or Budapest (another option open to me)?

Wait, am I still the only kiwi who actually posts occasionally here? Fuck you Kat, BlackMage, Beerman and Gryff!
1. Maybe
2. Yes, Auckland and Wellington are the musical, social, political and not-sucking-constantly capitals of NZ. I recommend Wellington for Art/Music/Fun and Auckland for university reputation. If you want the drunken, scummy flatting experience you could potentially go to Christchurch or Dunedin in the South Island but I wouldn't recommend it if you're into anything other than being cold or being drunk.
3. January is the middle of summer, June is early winter. It'll be between 24-28 in summer and 10-18 in winter in the north. That's Celsius.
4. Budapest is probably a better bet for interesting plus you can tour around Europe.
Caspian:

McTaggart:
Not at rugby!

Incorrect.
North Island gets all the tours, all the art/museum exhibitions, all the theatre and is easier to get around. If you want scenery and friendly people then go south but if you want stuff to do and the ability to travel NZ more easily, go north.
