Great Lecturers and Student Housing

Very kind, insightful and laid back professors. Students are friendly. Loved my flatmates. I always felt safe in Auckland and especially in the Wellesley Student Apartments. But the RAs and security guards are a little too strict. Small get-togethers were often treated as "parties."

The main challenge was figuring out the online grading/assignments system.

I really appreciated the flexibility in scheduling my classes because it allowed me to travel almost every weekend! Professors seem to understand international students' desire to explore New Zealand and are generally OK with a few missed classes here and there. I would suggest keeping on top of assignments because classes are deceptively chill. Exams hit fast!
