Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Indépenant - choix personnel

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

First of all, having to flathunt gave me something to do when I arrived and helped me to get to know the city. Arranging viewings for flats in different parts of the city helped me to gain a quick understanding of my surroundings as well as being able to navigate my way around. I also enjoyed being able to have a choice as to where and who I wanted to love with.

Commentaire personnel

From what I gathered the university website their accomodation was extremely overpriced and maintainance was very poor. Wellington has a huge problem with damp housing and some of the university halls I saw had mould growing in them.

Si j'avais su

The bad housing, highly expensive internet/ phone - the university does not provide free internet for student which, considering their geographical location, is crucial in order to communicate with the rest of the world. Newspapers are very basic - hardly any international news.

A mon avis:

J'ai aimé mais pas sûr que c'est pour tous

Recommandation personnelle

Looking back I think I should have researched the university a bit more throroughly. I was not happy with some of the academic staff and the exclusion of international (esp. Asian) students. Integration seems to be a serious issue!

NZ is awesome for travelling (Magic bus is cheap and takes you to all the touristy as well as the more remote places). Wellington is very small and not very cosmopolitan so it was a huge shock for me having to deal with lack of good newspapers, nightlife and 'worldly atmosphere'. While the kiwis are very friendly on the surface, it is very hard to actually make friends.

Recommandations de cours

I'm writing a research thesis and found that I was only given very little support. My supervisor is great but the rest of the department have been very reserved. So if you find it hard to work independently, a research thesis probably isn't the best choice!

Commentaire personnel

I think the department could make a better effort to include new students, I'm the only postgrad student without a previous degree from Vic Wellington to study there and often feel excluded. In fact, I think I'm the only international postgrad in the department.

Cuba Street is always good, especially when the carnial is on. The Summer Festival in Wellington is also great as they are many bands playing for free and the atmosphere is amazing. Other than that I love Midnight Espresso on Cuba Street. It's a vegan/ vegetarian cafe (I'm neither but still really enjoyed the food) and the Kelburn cafe makes the best coffee I've ever tasted!
