Transportation in Auckland is pretty good.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a major cultural shift. New Zealand is diverse, although the culture is quite different compared to where I come from, India. Adjustment takes time, especially if you’re coming from a very social and food authentic country food cost of food is quite high and the budget is unrealistic. A basic meal will cost you at least 25. There are a few options that are quite feasible start from 15, targeting students, but trust me not worth paying that much money. Cooking at home is mandatory apart from that, university lifestyle is typically dependent upon your course which you select mine was construction management. So it was pretty good for me as I already had a few years of experience in my field. I learnt a lot. I would say it wasn’t easy, but structured and practical. The value for money comes from learning, News software and skills which will add up to your skill set as per the requirements of the industry.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think the tuition fees that I paid for 8 months were 55,000, although I learnt a lot and the difference between the techniques which I learn in my country, India and New Zealand is quite different. Although I think 55,000 for one year ago which was finished in eight months, was not a deal for me.

Transportation in Auckland is pretty sorted and there are a lot of buses and the frequency of the buses is pretty much good and accurate. I used to live around 3 km from the University of Auckland and I used to use bus, which was quite accurate and very reasonable.

Good research institute.
Tips: I'm satisfied with the university courses. As it's updated and uses advanced technologies, it has really well-equipped labs. I haven't got the scholarship, but the university provides it scholarship, but not everyone can get it. You will overcome all your comfort zones.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty of my department is highly knowledgeable supportive and invests in students learning and research. Faculty members help even after working hours, and there is are student service support to help students. Faculty are of diverse backgrounds with lecturers from different countries and backgrounds.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies rarely sponsor visas but employees can come on-site on a specific work visa. Nursing, medical roles and unskilled or skilled labourers with minimum wages of $25 to $30 per hour. The job market in New Zealand is competitive with many people applying for the same roles.
