Course recommendations
Look for out-of-the-ordinary stuff.. one of my courses ('papers' as they call them) was a bit like kindergarten in that we were able to explore our own forms of creativity. I got to work with videocameras, and watch interesting movies. Look for interesting opportunities!

Relaxed, moderate-sized university in a real student-oriented town. It has lots of activities offered and a wide range of courses to choose from. I couldn't really ask for more :)

Personal comments
The Lone Indian had some great Jazz but they've closed down. Most pubs and niteclubs have mainstream music.. not really my scene. Favourite cafes: Barista, Cafe Cuba, and StageDoor. Don't visit events at Centrepoint Theatre and at the Regent!

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I've heard 'flatting' was supposed to be a very Kiwi cultural experience. But I loved living with a family. If you get the chance, do both!!

Personal comments
I had the advantage that I knew the family before I came; they are like real family.
