About Palmerston North
Palmerston North is Manawatū’s university city and logistics hub. It combines education and research with sport, parks and riverside trails, and serves a wide rural region.
Manawatū-Whanganui Region
The Manawatū-Whanganui Region spans a large part of the lower North Island, containing a mix of coastal plains, river valleys such as the Manawatū River, small cities like Palmerston North, and extensive farmland. This region balances rural character with educational hubs, and is often more affordable than the larger metropolitan centres — attractive for schools wanting to position themselves as accessible. For international students, the region offers a quieter but rich cultural and outdoor environment, with pastoral landscapes, bush, and a strong sense of community.
