4.3

Great learning, cultural diversity, and competitive opportunities.

Tips: Students should know that Victoria University of Wellington offers a supportive environment, but being proactive is the key to success. University life is very self-directed and students should be prepared to actively seek out services such as career advisors, and student associations if needed. Academics are solely independent, self-directed study is the norm. As a student in Wellington, finding a part-time job is essential as the cost of living is quite high.

Likes (Indian Food): Numerous Indian restaurants are mostly locally owned. There is a variety of people from all regions of the country. The pricing is average, offering meals from $20-$30 per person. I enjoy both eating out and cooking myself. The takeaway is limited to once every 1-2 weeks as the money could add up and as a student, it isn't easy to afford to eat out all the time.

Dislikes (Internships): While internships are available, securing one is highly competitive, especially in my field of study. There is some guidance available, such as through the university website and the annual career fair held at the university. However, getting an internship is a highly competitive process that puts extra pressure on students.

Great university and positive support from the faculty and peers.

Tips: I am almost finished with my studies at Victoria University of Wellington. I am very satisfied with the education I have received, and the support I have gotten from faculty and peers. There was a bit of a culture shock when I first arrived, but the people here are easygoing and very kind. The only downside is the horrible weather in Wellington.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of different options to choose from when it comes to Indian cuisine, not just near the university which is in the city centre but also in the suburbs locations aswell. There are also many options to buy food online where they can bring it straight to your door.

Dislikes (Internships): There are a lot of job internship opportunities, but they are more scarce than they used to be. If you are not lucky, you would have to go and find a job yourself. At the moment, there is also a bit of a struggle finding jobs in this particular field. This might also be why internships are so scarce. However, the government has made a plan for companies to be more encouraged to take on more interns.
