Tips: The enrollment process at the University of Canterbury was easy. For the initial days, it was obvious I felt cultural differences but after getting used to it, it felt like a home away from home. I was awarded a Dean's Award scholarship. I had a good academic score in my Bachelor and previous work experience helped in get the scholarship which was around 5000 NZD. I am fully satisfied with my university, course and the country - New Zealand.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in Christchurch is excellent. It is well connected to the campus, and even towns 40-50 km from Christchurch are connected with good frequency of timings. The bus is the primary mode of transportation, and fares are subsidized for students at a rate of 1 NZD.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are some jobs on campus like Tutor, Research Assistant, and part-time in some cafes around the campus. Talking about Off-campus jobs there are plenty of them but you must have relevant work experience to easily get those. Academics are easily manageable with the job. Most of the jobs pay the minimum wage in New Zealand which is around 23 NZD.

Great university and great exposure to learn and grow.

Tips: I was concerned about the transition from India to New Zealand, but it wasn't that tough. The university and students made me feel very welcome and helped me get into the system. I applied for a scholarship and secured it, which was very helpful. Students should firmly keep an eye on scholarships as they would be reflected in the mark sheet and would be helpful in future job placements.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): I got permanent residency in New Zealand after completing my course and getting a job there. I love the culture and the country. It is peaceful and accepting. If you have the opportunity to settle in New Zealand, you should definitely try it.

Dislikes (Public transportation): I gave public transportation a low rating because bus service can be quite limited, especially late at night and on weekends. However, bus fares are very reasonable, and using a combination of public transportation and bicycles can make travel time faster.

Perfect blend of all the things that a student may need.

Tips: The college is very good overall. There is always a cultural shift when a student studies internationally, but after some time he/she settles. I got a scholarship of 5500$ and it was provided to me on merit basis by the university and it was called Dean's Award Scholarship. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the university and the country.

Likes (Student Life): One can take part in a lot of activities in the campus. In every week or two, there is some event happening. There is a separate committee for organizing events for students. Also, the campus is very beautiful and well planned. We can get everything that we may need.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are ample of jobs, but we require a relevant experience for them, which is difficult for an entry level international student. So as an international student, I am giving a rating of 3. If we got skills in the relevant background, then we can get jobs.
