The bad housing, highly expensive internet/ phone - the university does not provide free internet for student which, considering their geographical location, is crucial in order to communicate with the rest of the world. Newspapers are very basic - hardly any international news.

Personal recommendation
Looking back I think I should have researched the university a bit more throroughly. I was not happy with some of the academic staff and the exclusion of international (esp. Asian) students. Integration seems to be a serious issue!

NZ is awesome for travelling (Magic bus is cheap and takes you to all the touristy as well as the more remote places). Wellington is very small and not very cosmopolitan so it was a huge shock for me having to deal with lack of good newspapers, nightlife and 'worldly atmosphere'. While the kiwis are very friendly on the surface, it is very hard to actually make friends.

Actually, I have no idea on this University.I just want to inform students that one of PVC from this University was from University Of Plymouth.He was an unfair head of department previously.He never admit he was wrong when the proof had given. He don't understand what is the meaning of Plagiarism.In year 2002, plagiarize students awared as 1st class Hons degree!He don't even know his lecturers simply gave marks to their students during project marking on that year.Study and work hard students only awarded as 2.2 and 3rd class degree!Please beware of him!
