Course recommendations
Not as much of a selection of courses. The uni specalizes in forestry, agriculture, and business. It shows in the courses offered. Also, about half of the student population is international, for such a small campus (under 5k) it was a huge part of campus life.

Make sure to stay on top of readings, exams count for a lot more than exams in the states. In a couple classes the final exam was worth more than 50%

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Convienience, especially if you don't have personal transportation. Lincoln township is not very big, and housing would have been difficult to find

Personal comments
The first semester I lived in the self catered halls, which placed me with all international students. Second semester I lived in a flat on campus. This allowed me to live with New Zealanders and was for students older than first years.

Course recommendations
Some majors are much better than others at Lincoln in regards to classes. Since Lincoln is so small they lack many of the classes that might be offered at Unis in the US

none
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
Food seemed expensive to me, the exchange rate wasn't that great when I was there. Drinks were more in the clubs, than at home. Travel was fairly inexpensive. Going by bus around the south island was easy, and staying in hostels is an easy way to save money on accomodation

Why?
Living in Christchurch offered me the oppurtunity to meet and live with kiwis and not just the international students I was placed with.

Housing at Lincoln was nice and clean. Very basic with a lot of open space to play in.

Final comments
I think the marketing of lincoln university doesn't match realtiy. A lot of the things they say are not true. But the most important thing is the imporvement of their academic level. I got my postgraduate diploma but I will never go for master or phd. Academic staff are not performing up to par. If you do a master or phd you are going to be on your own. Don't recommend this university.
