How to write a review

Imagine you’re chatting to a friend...what would you tell them about the institution and your experience? Please note, reviews should be written in English.

To get you started, here’s a few ideas on what you could include:

  • What did you enjoy most about the institution?
  • What do you wish you had known about the institution before you arrived?
  • What are the institution’s facilities like? Which facilities did you use?
  • What challenges did you overcome?
  • What extra-curricular activities did you take part in? What can local students to do for fun in the area?

An awesome learning experience

By Annie Subactagin, Pakistan

My experience was awesome! My advice would be to put in the hours of study, make the most of the departamental resources, and to enjoy their learning experience.

Good old days I miss from time to time

By Young Sze Tiaw, Malaysia

Be ready for the cold and the parties (this is Dunedin for you!). And just enjoy the life at the student town. Everything is in walking distance to everywhere and anything.
