An eye-opening experience with great faculty.
Tips: It's really difficult adjusting to the new environment but once you are used to it, you will really enjoy it. The most important thing is to not get lazy or sack off. Really difficult to get scholarships for international students. There are just more scholarships for domestic students.
Likes (Internships): There are many opportunities to get internships with many local and international companies, especially companies like Big 4. The university also provides many support services regarding the application process and creating your CV. The application process might be a bit tedious sometimes.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee is really expensive. In my opinion, it's not justified compared to the rates they charge domestic students. But then again, there are many support services available for international students that are not available for domestic students.

University of Otago has a great college Life with a balanced equation.
Tips: Before joining college, it's important to research academic expectations, campus culture, financial planning, and personal adjustment. Transitioning to college can be challenging, especially if it involves a cultural shift. Scholarships can be based on merit, athletics, or need. The college often provides emergency hotlines, well-lit pathways, and escort services. The locals are friendly, have diverse cultural offerings, and convenient transportation but there might be heavy traffic congestion or pollution. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Student Life): College life offers a unique blend of academics and social experiences. Students can balance lectures, assignments, and part-time jobs with friendships, clubs, and campus events. The freedom to explore interests, make decisions, and build connections makes college a memorable chapter in life.

Internships are not always relevant to your field of studies.
Tips: There was a huge cultural shift that I experienced after coming here, mostly evolving around the soft skills. I was awarded a scholarship of NZD 10,000, for which I didn't have to apply. One gets under the list as they fill out the application form. Later, two students, not sure about the number of students in other courses, were selected for the scholarship. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the university and course, but not very happy with the country, as finding a full-time job, especially related to your field of study, could be challenging if you are an immigrant.
Likes (Student Life): A typical day at college involved a 2-hour lecture. Besides that, the library offers a wide selection of books covering various academic and non-academic genres. The university's student association organises numerous cultural events, such as Holi, Diwali, and Christmas, providing opportunities to connect with students from diverse backgrounds.
Dislikes (Internships): There is complete support from the concerned people on campus to find internships. They guide you in every step, right from creating a New Zealand-friendly CV to appearing for an interview. However, available internships are not always relevant to your field of studies and may clash with your academics.
