University of Auckland

Well, just reviewing the ranking of this University you can tell the quality of it. It is a great university, I am doing a Master programme there and the level of knowledge that you acquire is amazing. It is quite tough, they demand a lot of work from the student, but in that way you end up learning and improving your skills and perseverance. I find fees for local students quite acceptable, and quite high for international students, although there are a lot of scholarship programmes that are excellent.

Not much campus life experience. Quite a number of foreign exchange students for that international flavor.
Great lecturers are rare but they exist.

This is supposedly one of the best universities in the entire world. However, your experience will vary significantly depending on how much your lecturer "wants" to put efforts into the course. Some student advisers who are meant to be professionals are clueless about the courses and degree planning as well.

Depending on the lecturers, your study experience varies drastically.

Poor student engagement, some courses are well taught and others are not, refuses to take student feedback into consideration.
