Sweet As AUT

Being an exchange student in the Design programme at AUT has been the most exciting adventure and I enjoyed every second of it.
AUT offers a lot of well equipped facilities, great architecture and a lot of comfy areas to meet fellow students for working, learning or simply hanging out. Staff is super friendly and there are a lot of people you can go to if you have any kind of problems. AuSM (AUT's Student Movement) constantly organizes a lot of fun events, free food and assistance with any issue. If you get the chance, I highly recommend participating in the international Noho Marae Weekend! It was one of my highlights of the whole stay here in beautiful New Zealand. You will eat until you drop, meet a lot of new (lifelong) friends and dance and sing Maori style ;-)
Auckland itself has a lot of events going on, but if you ever want to get out of the city, just take a bus/car and explore the stunning nature New Zealand has to offer. There is a heck of a lot of mindblowing things to experience and I guarantee you will never be bored here in Auckland/Aotearoa.
