I'm an international student in Christchurch, orginally from California.

Life here is very, very boring with mainly endless suburbs, and boring people everywhere.

I have studied in London, UK, and Leiden in the Netherlands, and those were awesome compared to here.

I feel like trapped in a void now.

I'm an international student in this city. And I'm getting a green card soon. I think Christchurch is a very safe city. It's under construction now because of the earthquake, but CHCH is reviving. There was a shooting spree before, but it wasn't because of poor security. CHCH has had many accidents, but this city is very homeless and safe at night. Please rate this city well. Next time, other media will tell me that CHCH is a good city.

Boring town on May 26, 2023:

Christchurch is pretty soulless and looks like driving a car up and down the road is the highlight for most people in Christchurch. Endless suburbs are spreading in all directions and public transport is one of the worst in the world. Moved here 9 years ago from Europe and I thought that I need give the city a chance as it was still recovering from the 2011 earthquake.
Found a small bubble of other immigrants and like-minded people in New Brighton that keeps me staying in Christchurch for now. Christchurch is great for outdoor enthusiasts. The Port Hills and Bank Peninsula are great hiking spots and the Southern Alps are close by. If you can stand car idiots and an anti intellectual attitude you might enjoy Christchurch
