Amazing university, vibrant campus and a fun student life.
Tips: When considering this university, students should be aware of the structure for studying here. Some students I know came here and forgot they came for the primary purpose of studying, and now concentrate on part-time work instead. Instead of focusing on part-time jobs, you should concentrate on your studies. In addition to that, students should also be outgoing and not just stay home, even if they have recordings of classes. This will help students maintain contact with their professors and their subject material. There are many restaurants here, with cuisine options from Arabian to Indian. Personally, I prefer to cook, as it's cheaper, but I can't be sure of the general pricing, as each restaurant will have different prices. I'd say it will roughly be 20 dollars per meal. There aren't many post-study jobs here. It's difficult for freshers, mostly for graduates. I don't have a list of job roles or salary packages, but I can say that the roles vary from person to person. Some people might get a graduate role, while others might get an experienced role.

A challenging but fulfilling and rewarding experience.
Tips: It is very important to understand that moving to a new country can be very challenging and overwhelming. The way life works and the processes are different to what you are used to. I think it was really important for me to try and learn the way people live their lives here since you can't change their way of living, so you need to be open to adapting. However, you should never feel like you are alone. Especially if you are moving to Christchurch for University, there is a whole network of people that you can get in contact with, and there are many different clubs to join. Therefore, you mustn't be scared to go out and meet new people. Embrace the new challenges. For me, joining clubs and/or sports teams is the best way to meet new, like-minded people. Furthermore, in terms of scholarships and funding, I managed to get an international student scholarship that allowed me to live in the halls in my first year for free. There are many scholarships that you can apply for, however, you need to make sure that the scholarship applies to international students. In terms of funding, I was fortunate enough that my parents were able to give me a weekly allowance that enabled me to live my day-to-day life. However, since I am studying engineering and playing cricket, I was also able to find jobs that allowed me to make money over the summertime. As long as you work within your visa restrictions, there is a lot of opportunity to find jobs etc. The university experience has been really amazing and I have been able to learn really cool things, both within the university and through daily life. While my course is very challenging, I have learnt some amazing things and could not be more grateful to be learning high-quality, practical knowledge that can be applied in the real world. New Zealand in general is a beautiful place with amazing people and beautiful views, you cannot say too much bad about this country.
Likes (Safety): Christchurch and New Zealand in general is a very safe city and country. The people are very nice and helpful. Although there are crimes like stealing from cars, as I have experienced, it is very easy to navigate through life and I have rarely had trouble trying to fit in within the community. Especially when joining the university, I felt that everyone was extremely supportive and always looking to make new friends. Therefore, the overall UC community is amazing.
Dislikes (Value for money): New Zealand in general is an expensive place to live. And, with international student feels, it makes it extremely expensive. While I have been fortunate enough that my parents can support me through my undergraduate study, a lot of students would not have the same luxury. It seems quite unjustifiable that as an international student, you pay more than 5x the price for the same courses and resources that a local student would get. I had already been in New Zealand for 2 years before joining the university and had a good network of friends already. Therefore, I did not need support as an international student as I am sure international students need.

University of Canterbury has highly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate faculty.
Tips: The University of Canterbury offers a high standard of education. Students should be aware that the coursework is not easy and requires a high level of independent learning, critical thinking, and practical applications. The education system here is very different from what I experienced in my previous institution. I was awarded the New Zealand Excellence Award Scholarship, which covered my tuition and living expenses. The application process was straightforward which involved submitting an academic record, a statement of purpose, and reference letters and the scholarship provided a stipend of NZD 10,000. I am very satisfied with my choice of university, and I would highly recommend it to any student who is seeking a world-class education in a safe and beautiful country. It is safe, scenic, and offers a good quality of life.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at the University of Canterbury are highly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about their areas of expertise. They are very accessible and approachable and maintain open-door policies during office hours. They are also very responsive to emails. In terms of teaching methodology, they emphasize real-world case studies and group projects, and there is a strong focus on advanced software tools. The teaching faculty is also diverse in terms of nationality.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Authentic food options from my country of origin are quite limited here. Most restaurants close by 7 or 8 pm, and there are only a few fast food restaurants like KFC and McDonalds that are open after 8 pm. Casual dining restaurants range from NZD 15 to 25 per meal, while fine dining options can go upwards of NZD 40 to 50. I prefer to cook for myself, as it's more economical and allows me to prepare meals closer to my taste preference. It's also a healthier and more fulfilling option compared to eating out regularly. However, I occasionally enjoy dining out to explore different cuisines or socialize with friends.

Practically oriented in every perspective.
Tips: The enrollment process at the University of Canterbury was easy. For the initial days, it was obvious I felt cultural differences but after getting used to it, it felt like a home away from home. I was awarded a Dean's Award scholarship. I had a good academic score in my Bachelor and previous work experience helped in get the scholarship which was around 5000 NZD. I am fully satisfied with my university, course and the country - New Zealand.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in Christchurch is excellent. It is well connected to the campus, and even towns 40-50 km from Christchurch are connected with good frequency of timings. The bus is the primary mode of transportation, and fares are subsidized for students at a rate of 1 NZD.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are some jobs on campus like Tutor, Research Assistant, and part-time in some cafes around the campus. Talking about Off-campus jobs there are plenty of them but you must have relevant work experience to easily get those. Academics are easily manageable with the job. Most of the jobs pay the minimum wage in New Zealand which is around 23 NZD.

University of Canterbury provides many on campus events for students.
Tips: It is hard to get a job in my field because there are not a lot of job opportunities available. Also, there are students from different countries, so there will be some culture shock. There are no scholarships available for my course. The people are kind and welcoming, especially if you respect their culture. The elderly are friendly and open to having warm conversations. Christchurch is a quiet and peaceful place, and the people enjoy that kind of life. I feel safe on and off campus, and most of the campus is open to students so they can study whenever they want. Overall, I am satisfied with the campus, the country, and the university.
Dislikes (Internships): Unfortunately, internships are not part of the curriculum here like they are in India. This makes it challenging to gain hands-on experience, especially since most employers require knowledge of New Zealand laws and standards. In India, internships are available at any firm, but here most internships are through agencies and students have to pay for them.
