Massey University has a practical approach towards education.
Tips: Coming to this university from India was a big cultural shift, and it's an entire culture change. I had to learn how to deal with the social life here. That being said, the university did accommodate me with some scholarships, which I'm very grateful for. I think the scholarships are more available to students from a diverse range of backgrounds and courses, and may have changed since I graduated.
Likes (Internships): At Massey University, I had a hybrid work/school schedule and was actively involved in many different events and was excited to spend time with my classmates and my professor to put my work experience to practical use.
Dislikes (Value for money): The university has a top-notch helping and guiding faculty that reaches out to students one by one and helps them from scratch. I was in the business school, and even the head of the business school is easily accessible and approachable. The purpose of education here is all practical and helps us to reflect on and provide an analysis of what we have done and gone through actually in our workplace, and how the whole industry and the system work. From students to teachers, there is a huge diversity where you meet people from different ethnicities, and you get a wide range of experiences.

The university has a great faculty and is academically oriented.
Tips: It's a decent college with good faculty and is academically oriented. The study is self-directed for the most part and assignments help with hands-on learning immensely. However, you won't get spoon-fed, so be prepared to make YouTube your guru. Overall, I think I have come out with satisfactory industry knowledge.
Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of Indian food joints with good quality food. Indian grocery stores are bound and everything is available. You would have cuisines from all parts of India and the price can range from 15 to 100 dollars/head depending on where you pick to eat. Every food court has at least one or more Indian food options.
Dislikes (Internships): Student visa holders are last on the priority list for internships and the New Zealand market is vulnerable to economic downturns. You have to rely on networking which is difficult for a new migrant. I know students who have applied for over 250 internships without any success.

A great place to learn and live.
Tips: The government here provides scholarships to international students, so you should check to see if any are available. I did not get any scholarships because my subject does not include any scholarships like that. But overall, this university is so good that they value your culture and religion.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at this university is great. You'll have a good environment with supportive professors and lovely friends. Your classmates will be supportive as well, and all of your professors will help you grow professionally in your career.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food in New Zealand is very different from what I'm used to. Here, people eat boiled food with no spices or salt. As an Indian, I love spicy food that includes at least one or two spices. Also, we love rice, but here they don't eat anything like that. They just eat boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, and rice without salt or spices. They don't even eat curry.

Massey University ranks third among New Zealand universities.
Tips: The transition was smooth. The time difference with India is huge (6.5 - 7.5 hours). University provides you with scholarships, based on your education, work experience etc. There is no such thing as a daily allowance in NZ. You need to get a part-time job to support yourself. The university is very big and beautiful, the courses are very nice, the professors are experienced in their field of studies and NZ is a beautiful country, if you are a nature lover you will enjoy your time in NZ.
Likes (Indian Food): There are lots of Indian grocery stores in Auckland and you can get almost everything that you get in India. All the vegetables and the other things you find in a local grocery store you can get it here. All kinds of pickles, spices, lentils and other things you can get easily.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is tiny and companies ask for local work experience. Companies can sponsor your visa if you're in an IT job and your skills are difficult to find. Management roles are not easily offered, one has to start from a different job role and then gradually move to your desired role.

A fulfilling and supportive academic journey at Massey University.
Tips: Before joining Massey University, students should know about its academic environment and the need to be proactive in engaging with the various opportunities available. Transitioning was smooth, with a noticeable cultural shift towards more interactive and student-centred learning. I secured a scholarship through the university portals, which provided significant tuition fee relief. Overall, I am very satisfied with Massey University, course and the welcoming nature of New Zealand.
Likes (Indian Food): I rated the food options from my country of origin 5 because the area around Massachusetts University offers a diverse range of authentic restaurants that cater well to my diet preference. The locality around the university features a variety of restaurants, including Indian, Italian, Chinese, and local New Zealand cuisine. Pricing varies with options for every budget; fast food joints and food courts offer meals around $10, while mid-range restaurants usually charge $20 per person. I prefer cooking for myself as it is more economical and allows me to tailor meals to my diet preference.
Dislikes (Internships): I rated internship opportunities 3 out of 5 due to limited availability influenced by the economic recession and a noticeable preference for local candidates, which can restrict opportunities for a larger student base. While the guidance provided for finding and applying for internships is very helpful with work on resume writing and interview preparation, the support lacks the personalised assistance and direct industry connection that could enhance internship accessibility. Although the internships are relevant in my field of QS, the scarcity of positions remains a significant challenge.
