AUT gave me the best experience to grow professionally.

Tips: All incoming AUT students need to be aware that the workload for the courses there is substantial. It's not going to be a cakewalk, so to speak. There will be a lot of pressure to perform. That's not to say that there will be no time for fun, but it is definitely going to be necessary to plan. There's also the problem of keeping both studies and any part-time work they might be doing in order. I think it's possible to handle both. I was pretty glad I picked AUT.

Diverse university with great learning opportunities and growth.

Tips: We should know fluent English in the aspect of speaking, and also when and where to answer. There will also be a major impact on our lifestyles. I have received an accommodation scholarship for the student accommodation, which I applied for through the university website. New Zealand allows students to settle here after they have completed their course. They allow students to stay there for post-study visas up to three years after completing the course. If you can find a job in your field of study, that is also on the greenlist, then you are eligible for permanent residency. Overall, I am very satisfied with the university and with everything I have chosen so far, although it will also depend on the individual and on their chosen course of study.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are a bit hard to get into, as there will be heaps of applications, however, off-campus jobs are comparatively easy depending on experience and connection. Most of the part-time jobs can be easily manageable with the academics, as the shift will be with our preference.

4.3

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.

The faculty are highly knowledgeable and experts in their field.

Tips: There are scholarships that you can avail of at any point of time during your course. There is a considerable number of Indian and Indian food available, so not much of a cultural shift. There is a large number of international students including Chinese and Indians. You have to study yourself and lecturers will only teach assuming you have prior knowledge of the subject. You have to do your homework really well. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my course, university and the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent settlement are really easy. You just have to follow the general immigration path. Given a chance, I might like to permanently immigrate for its peaceful environment and natural beauty. You need to have good references and a network here to land a job as the job market is tight but once you land the first job things get easier.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation is well connected with regular buses at small intervals but the cost of transportation is too high even with student discounts. However, you get a travel pass limit of 50 dollars per week. As an international student that cost seems too high.

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.

My transformative experience at AUT.

Tips: Coming from a Cambridge board and A Level background I was somewhat familiar with the Western education system. However, adapting to university life in a new country had its challenges. Since I arrived in NZ I have been pursuing my Master's in Engineering while maintaining a full-time job. One of the most notable cultural shifts was the difference in communication style. I found that people here tended to be more direct and informal, which was quite different from the more reserved and formal interactions I was accustomed to. Additionally, social norms around collaboration and group work were different. Teamwork was emphasized and I had to adapt to expressing my ideas more openly in discussions. There were challenges the transition has been enriching and I am fully satisfied with the experiences.
