Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Home university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Because the housing situation was ridiculous. I am an American and lived with two Americans and a Canadian. I didn't get the quintissential "Kiwi" experince per se.

Personal comments

Complete ripoff!! Not only do we pay for housing, we have to pay for utilites and phone and food. I chose this housing because it was cheaper than the other on-campus housing. Food I knew I would have to buy. But I was not aware that I was going to have to pay for utilites, water and phone as well. These fees were very exorbitant. Furthermore, for a housing that is supposed to be geared for international students as well as students that like perfer lifestyles of their own, it sure had a lot of frivolous and superflous rules to abide by. Let the students do more of what they wish and have some of the accomodation fees pay off the utilities. Next time, try to situate more Kiwis with more internationals.

“BE(HONS) Electronic/Electrical”

New Zealand, Undergraduate
, 2021

Overall

3 of the 5 lecturers in this course are rasist. If you are Māori and looking to study electronic or electrical engineering I would definitely recommend choosing a different major or studying at AUT of UoA. I ended up finishing my degree with papers scattered between AUT and UoA. I found the lecturers here helpful and not rasist. If you would like further information I would be happy to give them. wharengaror@gmail.com

Careers

I found my internship on my own. Someone was assigned to help me but they also had to help every other student in the engineering school. They couldn't find me an internship. I think this is due to under staffing.

Pros

It was a horrible experience for me

Cons

As above
