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.

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.

Best college in New Zealand for this course. Highly qualified staff and top class facilities.
Tips: Refer to some online sources to know more on NZ culture, mostly basic sense/ etiquettes. No scholarships were offered to me but check with university for more information on scholarship. Few students from economically weak countries were offered scholarships. I did my research and I am satisfied with how studying here turned out for me.
Likes (Safety): Helpline numbers are shared for reporting incidents/ seeking care & assistance of any kind. Auckland is quite happening if you love to visit good eateries, explore beaches and trail walks. Nothing bad that I have experienced so far, just try making a lot of friends wherever you go to share your experiences with and not feel lonely.
Dislikes (Internships): Ample guidance is available for finding internships from the university, but opportunities are limited. Internships are limited in this field in NZ. There are a few sites that offer internships ( paid/ unpaid), but very limited jobs are available, especially for freshers without experience. Freshers are expected to start from basic jobs to enter the industry if they can crack the interview with some practical knowledge/ knowing the latest industry trends.
