Personal recommendation
Be prepared, if you choose to study performing and scren arts, to be on campus from 08.30 till 16.30 everyday!!! This was strange for me because I am used to a much more relaxed study culture at my home college! The teachers did not really care much if we shoved up or not! But after getting used to it it was nice and I felt that i learned more from it. And it was easier to get used to the "real life" i.e work life!

“A very recommendable institution for academics and encouragement”

Overall
I have completed postgraduate diploma in business from Unitec. I had to put a lot of hard work towards assignments and exams. it was a great experience to receive continuos support from tutors and even management. It was worth the effort and gained a sound academic hold of subjects. My lecturers were very supportive and helped me whenever I was struck with my academics. After hearing a lot of experiences from students in other private institutions at NZ, I really feel lucky to have chosen to study at Unitec under the guidance of experienced, helpful tutors and unbiased management

Pros
Renowned institution at NZ. Fees are lesser compared to universities. Job opportunities are more in Auckland compared to other locations. That even helps students to earn their living while studying and then get full time job later.

Stay at campus if you like to meet people, do your stuff at school cause teachers can get grumpy, and enjoy it

Course recommendations
Don't let yourself be tricked with the unitec courses description, they are for my experience a lot more easier than they say they are. I did industrial design and took some web design courses, they would ask me to have a "proper" training with the software and said the course was challenging, and it turned up to be just basic stuff so be careful and don't be afraid to take "difficult" courses (level 7) the same applies with the number of courses, they will take you to take 4 I did 5 and had no problem at all, and still got a lot of party going hehe

Personal spending habits
Norway is a very expensive country to live in. New Zealand the opposite, very cheap! Thats the only reason! But if you look at the amounts of food or thngs I spent money on I think I bought more in New Zealand!

Personal comments
I knew New Zealand was an inexpensive country to live in and I thought the money I got from the norwegian government was enough for my stay. But I stayed longer as planned and I definitly spent more money than expected... Even if it is cheap - expect to use lots of money, especially because of travelling, going to New Zealand. It is a perfect country to travel in and the most beautiful country in the world. (except for Norway...)

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
As an international student I wanted to meet lots of people from all over, at the village the most of the students there are international so you can get to know a lot of people

Personal comments
It was great really, and the best thing if you like to meet people because students come each semester so pretty much everyone is new and want the same, to know more people. The most friends you can make are in the village don't expect much from classes, everyone have their own lives and very few ae interested in making friends with people that will be gone shortly
