My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Yeah when trying to sort out your courses there are people who you can approach if you are confused with what you want to take. They are really good in helping people out.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
They should provide more rooms for study groups and they need more than one hour to be in a room. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
The Kiwis do sometimes pronounce words differently to the americans and english but there really isnīt any difficulties in communication with them. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Government assistance Other sources of funding:
Family Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Because back home everything is kind of old fashion unlike here they keep up with all the latest fashion and plus back in the Pacific Islands things go slow and i stayed with my family and plus we live on our own land unlike here we have to pay the rent and things. One thing about New Zealand is that it has four seasons so people need to buy the clothes and stuff. Back home the fares are really cheap going by bus is just $1.00 anywhere unlike here its more expensive. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Yeah don't overspend your money. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
To bring a lap top, it makes life so much easier. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Waikato has a good variety of programs, but could use more art classes. Overall no complaints. FINAL COMMENTS
Hamilton won't keep you occpied on its own. THere are so many cool things see like Hot Water Beach, Waitamo Caves, Raglan, etc., that are all close to Hamilton, be sure to take advantage of the central location and check it all out. I suggest you see as much of NZ as you can. It may be a small country, but it is packed full with heaps of crazy and beautiful places. I still have a list of things I want to come back and do.
