A transformative educational experience.
Tips: The transition was smooth since New Zealand is an English-speaking country. The people here are friendly and diverse, which made setting in easier. Unfortunately, I could not avail any scholarships as I was unaware of the opportunities available. To students seeking scholarships, I highly recommend checking the university website regularly and there is a deadline. You can also directly contact the scholarship office via email for guidance. Throughout my journey, I have taken on multiple roles, including Student Ambassador, RUOK Advisory as a part-time job, Student Editor, Peer-Reviewer, Volunteer and Entrepreneur. The university is highly supportive of student's needs, and I encourage future students to explore and utilize all available support systems to enhance their experience. Also, before choosing a country to study in, make sure to research the job market. Opportunities can fluctuate, and being informed about employment trends will help make a more strategic decision about the future. Overall, I am very satisfied with my university, course, and life in New Zealand, as I have gained valuable skills and grown both personally and professionally.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fees are high but the facilities provided are really good. The classrooms, access to libraries, the latest study materials, practical approach to learning, some papers have exams though, and the student services and support system available make the expenditure worth it.
Dislikes (Internships): While there's a lot of guidance available for finding or applying to internships, getting one has been increasingly difficult due to rising competition. Platforms like Summer of Teach provide a great opportunity for paid internships in New Zealand. Internships are available in the related fields of study. Sometimes students must move to a different city within New Zealand to complete the internship.

Excellent faculty and an amazing university experience.
Tips: The university experience is a lot different from what I had in India. The assignments are very practical, and there is help whenever you ask for it. I availed a scholarship from the Faculty of Arts and Culture which added NZD 5000 towards my fees. I'm very satisfied with the experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is excellent and extremely approachable. All the professors are very kind and helpful. The entire course is taught in a very practical manner which is helpful to get a job in the future. The faculty is very diverse in terms of nationality.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected with the rest of the city via trains and buses. However, public transport is quite expensive, and trains and buses are either often late or get cancelled at the last moment. While students do receive a discount, the expenses are still not very affordable.

It was a diverse, fun, friendly, and helpful environment.
Tips: I didn't feel a bit different from back home, it was the same but 5 times more fun. Students should have to know about the scholarship programme if you are lucky it would be a great help. Very satisfied with the outcome which makes us be engaged in many active programs and has the best speakers and exposure to the companies.

Good college with multi cultural diversity and part time opportunities.
Tips: Students should know that adjusting to the time zone can be difficult for a week. I availed 2 scholarships one academic and one for accommodation. I am fully satisfied with the University course and the beauty of NZ. However, the rent is expensive in the city but cheaper on the outskirts and have a good variety of cuisines and a good climate throughout the year.
Likes (Post study jobs): AUT has good networking and connections to the industry, no idea about Sponsor Visas for work but what I have seen is most of the companies require a permanent visa or at least citizenship to be considered to work there, there are multiple roles offered and good salary packages at least for the technology domain.
Dislikes (Part time work): Getting part time work is difficult compared to getting actual work. Managing part time with studies is easy since we are only allowed to work 20 hours max in a week unless it's a semester break where you can work 40, and the average payout is anywhere from 23-30 dollars per hour.

Try to socialize and build connections.
Tips: There are scholarships available for AUT students. When you apply to the University shortly, they will send you a scholarship link in a few days. You can apply for it. Also you can get a scholarship for student accommodation, i.e Uni lodge. This country and the University are very nice. New country will initially make you homesick, but you will get used to it and in the end start loving it. Quiet and beautiful place to live in. I am 100 % satisfied with uni, course and country. Finding a part time job here is hard and you'll have a long struggle to get the main job after your studies as well. But you will get it done. There is a struggle, but the reward is very fruitful.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is top class. Very knowledgeable and will help you a lot in your studies. Most of them will solve your doubt. Many Indian, Kiwi, British and African origin faculties, very diverse. You can email them your doubts and freely ask them. Only one faculty member is not very approachable as he's strict and doesn't welcome your point of view. Will chose debate rather than making you understand. His teaching is good but he's not open to feedback. The rest of the faculty are really good. There are both online classes and offline classes held at the university. Slides are provided on your Canvas app. Assignments are easy and a few subjects will actually help you learn some software.
Dislikes (Internships): From my point of view, I think you will only grab an internship if you have a proper connection with the people in the industry. Through reference and through hard work. Uni doesn't actually help you get one, your hard work does. You have to visit meetups and meet people who are already working in the industry and put yourself in front of them as a professional and communicate with them. You will surely crack an internship.
