Personal comments
I do not understand this question but if it is to write about on campus accomodation I got the feeling it was for younger people. UNITEC did not reccomend me to stay on campus because of my age, something I took in consideration when looking for a place to stay.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I had to go back to the same school I would choose to live in the Village again, but I had to go back for a job or something else I would choose to live in the city because it would be cheaper, cleaner, the place would be bigger and I would be in the heart of the Auckland.

People are great and as a student it was the best choice, the design building was just accross the street and it made my "coming and going" very easy and practical

Academic
Course recommendations
My course, Performing and screen arts - Film & TV, was only two years old when I started and had some start problems concerning teachers, what to do and how to do it. A litle bit unorganised. But it seem like the school understood this and I got the feeling this year will be different. There are plenty of courses to choose from, and if people are interested in art I will reccomend Film & TV, dance, acting, photography and design.

I spent much time with other norwegian students and I know that I could have learned more english spending more time with locals. (Off course I did that too!) But my written english has improved after all the essay writing! I have no problems to write in English. (And no problems to speak)
