- Education which was received is very useful in real life and opens up a lot of career paths for you.,
- The content we had wasn't something you can simply find online.,
- Most of the courses we got had a lot of interesting content that you would actually enjoy working with rather than considering it as a pressure.
- Dislikes:
- Some courses' marking schemes and weightage could be better. One course of mine had very unfair grading where the exam was 60% and the coursework was 40%. Typically in all other courses it was the other way around.,
- Student clubs were rare and irrelevant. It was also quite hard to form groups as the community was not sociable at least in my experience.,
- Sports opportunities were also quite less than what I desired.
Campus Life
Clubs and events were not as good as I expected. Although I don't go out as often to such events, the few times that I did look for them they were quite tough to find. Student clubs were mostly irrelevant and barely hosted any events. The community was also not really sociable in my year, particularly due to the high number of students not being a native English speaker. Facilities however were good. Libraries and spaces were large and clean. WiFi occasionally had some trouble. Sports facilities were quite rare and were in a different location than the main city campus. However, they are currently constructing a sports facility inside the main campus which should be finished soon.
Hostel
I stayed in a private student accommodation where I had my own studio apartment. It was slightly higher priced but was a completely private room, kitchen and bathroom. The university does have its own halls which have options for private or shared, where you can apply but they are fairly difficult to find a spot in. I suggest applying for them early if you can, and keep a backup plan just in case they are full. You can also opt for privately rented properties which is what many students did. However be careful of online scams if you are choosing this option.

- The project aligned with my research interest, and I found my supervisor's work to be of high interest. Also, the university has a proven track record of research excellence, especially in population health.,
- The high-impact research atmosphere provides an edge for a researcher like me to collaborate with esteemed researchers in my field. The University is equipped with modern infrastructure, facilities, and faculties.
- Dislikes:
- Nothing for the time being. The University has exceeded my expectations in terms of research opportunities, work-life balance, student-teacher relationship and other facilities.
Campus Life
There are several clubs at the university. There are ample opportunities for a vast range of extracurricular activities, from sports to coding. Each campus has a separate library. The entire UoA campus has a centralized wifi facility.
Hostel
The University accommodation is fully equipped with all necessary amenities and charges a weekly rate of 300 NZD, which includes water bills, electricity bills, and access to the gym. There are options for both sharing and single accommodation.

I am an offshore students so can't exactly give any opinion on this. Although there are so many clubs one can participate in. I do voluntary work like helping other student to gather information as a class representative and student ambassador.

I am offshore student.

The campus facilities are actually the best. The sports and recreation centre, the library and the lecture halls are at the top of my list. The infrastructure is modern, and a few buildings are constructed just a month back for students to have the best experience. There are over two hundred clubs that organize events almost every week. There are inter-faculty sports events and balls that are the highlight of the year. The campus has a diverse variety of students. You can find people of all cultures. International students are usually in majority from India, China, Vietnam and Phillipines.
Hostel
I have a few relatives living in Auckland, so I would be living with them and not in the accommodations provided by the University. But the University has quite a range for all these like self-catered, catered, apartments, one student rooms, double student rooms. But the cost of all these accommodations is way too high. But the rooms are definitely really good and the food as well.

Due to current situation of COVID-19 lockdown, I have not been to the campus. However, based on information I have, campus infrastructure is really fantastic, it provides highly competitive research infrastructure. There are a lot of events and societies/clubs in which students can take part and mingle with other people from different culture.
Hostel
No Idea as of now, as I am currently an offshore student.
Hostel
No, living at home.
Top university in NZ and I am curious and innovative, so chose engineering.
Campus Life
Campus was abuzz with so many activities but sadly soon we had to shift to online mode due to pandemic.
Hostel
Though hostel facility was available but I chose to take rented accommodation on shared basis with 2 other girls. It was around 200NZ$ per week rent and 100NZ$ for groceries and other expenses.

Given the border restriction still in place in New Zealand, I am an offshore student (meaning I am pursuing my PhD remotely until the borders open up). As a result, my experience with the library, clubs etc. is severely limited. However, in terms of the online facilities such as availability of software, online library etc., Auckland is very good.
Hostel
Being an offshore candidate, I have limited experience in dealing with accommodation at Auckland. However, from what I know from colleagues, living in Auckland is extremely expensive. The university estimates that a year of living in Auckland costs anywhere between NZ$20,000 and NZ$25,000 per year (which converts to Rs. 10,00,000 to Rs. 14,00,000).
