Higher education in Palmerston North - for a 16 year old
Hi, we are looking into making the big move - due to work options it would be around Palmerston North - and now getting frightened off as have read a few threads here and not good feedback. We have a 16 yr old son who is just finishing secondary school, excelling in the sciences and has already secured a place at a local college here in UK for a Sept start. What is the education system like in NZ - and in particular Palmerston North. There is a university called "Massey" but is there a college of sorts where he could do his A levels before maybe progressing to uni if he wished. Thank you

My advice: Palmerston North Boys High School to finish his college education then move on to Massey University to get a degree. Check out their web sites.
