A Wonderful Experience

Studying abroad at AUT is the best decision that I have made to date. I have had the most incredible experiences traveling around this beautiful country and making long-lasting international friendships along the way. The best part about Auckland Central is how easy it is to travel to and from it. Moreover, I like being able to travel to rural spots on the weekends and returning to a small, fast-paced city, for day-to-day living. It was quite easy for me to balance school work and travel as I think the course load at AUT is very manageable (but this could vary on an individual basis). The student support staff are really helpful here, you can go to them with anything and they will do whatever they can to help you. If you are used to living on your own I would not recommend living in the Wellesley Student Apartments. The student accommodation is conveniently located and great for meeting people, but be prepared to lose a bit of independence/follow strict rules and regulations if you choose to live in WSA.

Overall: I highly recommend studying abroad at AUT!
