Both Australia and New Zealand offer top quality education to international students. But a lot of time students are not able to differentiate between these two countries as they seem similar from the outer look. Although both these countries bear geographical proximity they are extremely different from each other especially in the kind of education they offer to international students. The cost of education and cost of accommodation are also different. The number of scholarships that they provide to international students are also not the same. This is why it is important to do research before coming down to a decision. Here are some common differences between both of these countries-
